    I dont think Tito will gain power from being a higher weight as he's been a welt his whole career...more or less.

    I think Jones chin is still better than David Reid's @ this point...lol.

    His hook can snipe you though...he was getting mashed against Reid until that hook. I liked Reid...bad scene...

      Wow I cant believe this is going to actually happen, I wish it would of happened 2 years earlier. I see Tito with a big advantage here, #1 he will fight at a weight were he is comfortable, Roy needs to come down a bit which I think is going to hurt him. #2 Tito isnt a shot fighter he just needs a better trainer he still has stamina and power which were his 2 best strengths. Roy looked good in his last fight but he is still getting hit to much compared to the Roy of old that was just untouchable. Even though Roy is more active this is a very dangerous fight for him. Im defenitaly watching this one.

        While this is an interesting fight for both these guys at this point in there career, I am already dreading the overratedness that will be bestowed on the winner.

          True, I couldnt agree more, but I do think that Tito has alot more in the Tank than Roy does at this point in there careers. Tito just needs a better trainer, he cant rely on his Father anymore, in all his loses his Father didnt tell him anything usefull when he would go back to his corner....thats not good.

            at this point i'd have to say RJ skills have diminished more... tito's power is probably still there..... tito by KO

              Roy is just too big for Tito. Too big, too strong, too fast. Tito's power against a big man like Roy will not have the same result that it had on lower weight fighters.

              For those of you who say the winner will be overrated, you are wrong. Most people I am sure see this fight as a fight that could have happened earlier, but is simply interesting due to the names involved and the 'what if' question...not because anyone thinks the winner will be p4p number 1 or something.

              This fight is appealing and I feel bad for Tito if it happens. But...Hanshaw could very well KO Roy before it has a chance to go down, so we will see.
