    Yeah, he gets credit for doing what he was supposed to do that's it in my book.

      In many cases that was true. How about Reggie Johnson? He was no bum. He was a good fighter. Even dropped Toney in the early 90's. But Roy completley destroyed him, made him look like a bum.

                I give Tito more credit than Roy......Roy did OK. He should have been able to stop Tito period.Hops did it at around the same age as Roy is now and at 160.......where he dominated for years like Roy did at 175.

                  Tito looked better than I thought, but he was definitely not at his right weight and being off that long didn't help him. Roy Jones hand speed is still good and even though he's reflexes are slower I thought he deserves some credit not a lot. He did what he probably should have done against a opponent that was slower, not as big, and inactive.

                    TBH, I was a little disappointed with saturday. Probably got carried away with all the hype and wished for a classic. His showboating really put me off him though, and seemed disrespectful to Tito.

                    It also didn't help that I decided to (finally) watch Gatti v Ward [1], how could any bout follow that!

                    I was quite impressed with the undercard though. Golota v Mollo was a great slugfest.

                      I chose the second option. I think Roy could have stopped Tito if he let his hands go(maybe stamina issues or somethin). Tito did some nice body work but didn't do enough in the later rounds. Tito aint completely washed up but he can't fight top level fighters anymore.
