    They were both shot but Tito was too small and had no fights in years. RJ fell off a cliff after getting KO'd by Tarver simple as that.

      Was a fun meaningless fight.

      Tito made 10 million. Who blames him?

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



      And Don King took most of it. Tito is now broke.

        RJJ did look good BUT I think most people believed he would win. Tito did not belong anywhere close to that weight class plus he was way over the hill.

            It seems the fight was already agreed upon, both of them losing simply held the fight up.................

                I thought they were both well over the hill but both men fought well. Tito never seemed to have his heart 100% in boxing after the Hopkins KO defeat and Jones was a much bigger man. It was a natural 175 pounder against a fat 154 pounder. Before the Hopkins loss Trinidad was a real monster and 154 was his best weight after he could no longer be comfortable at 147.
