roy jones in 88 olympics 154 vs trindad 154

[m00ks]

C'mon fellas, I like Roy(he's far from perfect though) as a fighter but no ****in way, the Roy of 88 would last the distance with a contemporary Trinidad unless he fought just like DLH did in the second half of his fight with Tito.

He RAN ... and so would an inexperienced, untested, defensive young boy who never learned to like getting the **** knocked out of him!

Naaaw, Roy had the physical tools but he wasn't fighter enough then to handle a punching seek and destroy fighter like Trinidad.

IMHO!

Yop. You can't really compare an amateur vs a professional. It would have probably taken one clean punch from Tito to knock the 19 year old out.

Exactly, why not say a 19 year old Jones vs. a 19 year old Tito.

A prime Tito loses to a prime RJJ at any weight, but not a RJJ fresh out of the Olympics (too young and immature in the ring).

Dude, that was impossible. At age 19, Trinidad was 140 pounds.

It's impossible for a 28 year old 154 Trinidad to fight a 19 year old Jones too.

Well, I was replying to the original post. You went another way anyway.

Curious; what weight did Tito turn pro at?

140, even if Winky is moving up in weight, hes still naturaly bigger.

True, the lowest Wright has ever weighed according to boxrec is 147 and was only once, all other fights he has been above 150. The Middleweight increase for Wright will not be a factor!

RJJ easily
just too technically sound for a 1 dimensional fighter like tito
