    What did you think of Tito vs Roy in 2008?

    After the match was over I really didn't think Roy was that shot. You might say it was Roy's last great performance. Going into the Calzaghe fight I thought he might have another in him. We all know how that turned out. Or was it more that Tito was shot?

    Tito was shot and completely out of shape.

        Tito was much more shot than Roy was at the time plus fighting way out of his weight class and Tito couldn't beat Roy on Roy's worst day

          This fight never happened. It's a figment of your imagination.

            Easy fight for RJJ even after the weight lost and former shell of himself. Imagine if the fight would of happen when Roy was in his prime? But Tito lost to Hopkins so it didn't then. Jones last great performance was against Jeff Lacey the way he was throwing so many punches & combos making Jeff look like punching bag like vintage Roy.

              Beating Lacy is hardly a big deal.

                the right opposition turns back the clock a bit

                  Any fight after winning the HW title from Ruiz wasn't a big deal.

                    Went to the fight.. MSG went nuts when Tito came out... first few rounds got Titos fans in an uproar and Roy took over from there.

                    Was a fun meaningless fight.

                    Tito made 10 million. Who blames him?

                    Wasn't Roys last great fight, that was Lacy.
