    Why do writers have to be so negative. Writers appear to have more fun bashing the sport then saying anything positive. Roy Jones and Felix Trinidad are not the first fighters past their primes to fight. They won't be the last.

    If you don't like it how about dropping an article about an up and coming fighter you do like.

      It's not **** at all. You're just a fan of one of the fighters, so of course you're offended.

Boxing fans know a good fight and even its its not a good fight we will watch it anyway! We dont need to hear these guys put down the greatest athletes in the world!

It makes sense that they would fight each other because they both are basically in the same boat. I agree the fight is just a circus, but boxing itself is one. Especially when u got a DLH vs. PBF 2 which really makes no ****ing sense...........but it sure makes dollars!

            While your article gets views, there's nothing cute about disrespecting two legends that have made boxing exciting. Waht were you smoking when you wrote this article?? What makes you think because Tarver finished Roy...that he's totally finished?? His last fight again Hanshaw was a true testiment to his comeback, and Hanshaw is not a sleeper. Give the brother RJJ some time...he only has 3 legitimate losses against GREAT fighters...GREAT FIGHTERS! At one point many though Mosely was finished, I disagree...Shane may have lost that fight, but he showed up that night. Have some belief that these fighters just may show up fight night.

            But it's not like we get PPV's here in Finland so I can't pay for it anyway.

            Maybe the two have one more great fight left in them, who knows. But there's no way I'd pay 50$ to watch it.

Both these guys although apart from their primes are still devastating fighters and would wipe the floor with any contender. TK you don't have to fork out the money to watch **** but you'll be one fan who stands alone because I know plenty of people that are paying to see this fight. My money is on Roy but my heart is with Tito!

              Editor's note - I've laced up the Reyes. Stepped through the ropes. Gotten a bloody nose, bruises.

              My point is that Jones and Trinidad were great fighters. They are both nice guys. I have no problem there.

              My problem is the crazy prices and the fact that one of them could get hurt in this fight that really shouldn't be happening. If either had proved themselves worthy with recent accomplishments and good performances I'd be all for it.

              But they are faded beyond all rationalization.

                If Mayorga/Vargas can be PPV, then Jones/Trinidad can most certainly be. If you don't want to watch it, don't buy it. Both of them have earned the right to have this fight made.

                    I hope Tito pulls this one off. I think he has a better chance than most people give him. People forget how special of a fighter he was. But I will admit, most likely senario is Jones winning easily. I have to go with Tito though i can vote against him. I can't wait! Go Tito!

                      true jones/trinidad isnt worth 50 bucks

                      but if its worth 25 i think mollo/golota will be worth 25 too

                      either way my local buffalo wild wings is showing it for free and i wont have to tolerate a race war a la hatton/mayweather
