      Jones vs Trinidad Practically Official

      Trinidad Sr. is saying that Roy Jones will be Tito's first opponent if he gets past his next opponent and agrees to make the fight. Don King spoke to Jones on the phone and he was excited about the fight. It also says that the fight will be around the 170lbs.

      Other names they considered were the winner of Hopkins/Winky and Mayweather but Trinidad Sr. says that Jones is the one he wants because Tito would be coming down in weight and it makes sense to fight him. He said he has no interest in Mayweather because Tito can't make the weight he is at and that PBF is too small to go up to 160. I think the goal is to have Tito fight at 160 again

        he should have said he will never hit pbf once so he won't fight him...
        and he wants to have a chance of winning

            ??? Jones is not exactly strong in the jaw these days. I think Tito has a nice shot at Winning.

                RJj's style has changed...vs. Ajamu he threw no check hooks or lead rights...instead he used alot of jabs and punishing body blows. At least hes adapting his game to his age. Tito fights the same, just gets hit more.

                If Trinidad lands one Home Run left hook its over. Roy was knocked out cold in two of his last four fights. If there is anything Tito probably still has its that sweet left hook. With that said I really don't know how this fight is going to turn out. How could anybody? Roy hasn't fought in a year, and Tito in at least three. Both are old. Both are way past it. The only thing Jones has is the experience at 170

                  Wow. I can't believe so many people are saying they would have no interest in this fight! Really? I would love to see this fight, although I too would have prefered that it take place 5 years ago.
                  I think I would be more upset if Roy doesn't retire if he gets knocked out/ Tito retires AGAIN just because he gets a boxing lesson. That would be disturbing to me.
