    Tito and Roy are irrelevant in today's boxing world

    Tito didn't fight in almost three years and Roy is past his prime.
    There's no way in hell either of them don't get slaughtered fighting prime super middles and light heavy's.

    Let the new breed come in and give them big fights.

    You're just encouraging future one-sided beatings, and dull fights from people who were great, yet now have ego enough to think they still have thier past glory.

    Light heavy could have some interesting fights with active fighters who are relevant.

    Can't we let these two guys retire and quit pitting them against, the Calzaghe's, Dawson's etc, who would surely cream them.

    Thanks,

        never completely rule something out.. when you truly great you can come back and still do great things.. foreman did.. the man was nowhere near prime..

          Trinidad is.

          RJJ isnt at all, after last nights performance he should retire. A former Heavyweight vs Welter and couldnt even stop him.

            It's true that Roy and Foreman changed their styles to suit their advancing age, but Foreman always had the big eraser no matter what his age, Roy doesn't.

            Roy in his prime's speed was simply blinding but he's asking for and will get big trouble.

            P.S. I tend to root for the older, supposed washed up guy more often than not, but I think Roy's ego which served him well, will be the end of him the next time he fights someone live with power at his natural weight class, which will probably be in 2009

              Dawson, who? Another Jeff lacy in the making, he has been fighting bums, when he steps up I'll believe you and don't say Glen Johnson is his proving point.

                Chad Dawson is getting there and I think he would beat Jones
