"BoxingScene.com was just informed that Felix "Tito" Trinidad (42-2, 35KOs) has officially signed a contract to fight Roy Jones, Jr. (51-4, 38KOs). The bout will mark Trinidad's official return to the ring since announcing his retirement in 2005."
Who do you guys think will win?

Tito isnt capable of hitting as hard as either Antonio Tarver OR Glen Johnson. And I cant really consider being knocked out by both the numbers one and two ranked in your division "embarrsing"...he just lost. Everyone does at some point.
Trinidad struggled to find his power against Hacine Cherifi....who is both old AND doesnt have a concrete chin. Titos power at 160 (and because he gets his hand tapes moderated now) is non existant. Its not like he got close to beating Winky...and Winky is not the stronger fighter.
And if Winky WAS the stronger fighter between those two...imagine where that puts his strength at 170

I believe the old Roy Jones Jr. had the edge a few years ago. Now I think Trinidad has a punchers chance of taking Roy out. Although Roy looked tremendous in his last fight and against a young up and comer. Both boxer's have had success and embarassing losses. The thing that has Roy in good shape is that he's fought the last two years at least one fight, Trinidad hasn't fought since 2005. Will the ring rust have something to do with the fighters, will have to wait and see in January 08.

It will be interesting to see what happens if Tito lands a solid shot to Roy's chin. If any semblance of the pre Tarver Roy Jones show's up for the fight, Tito has little chance, but if Roy is as shot as the Glen Johnson fight indicated it should be interesting.
I think Roy Jones will win, unless his jaw is really as glass as it seems. It would be a shock to see Roy get knocked out by Trinadad, but it is possible. The old Roy Jones speed is a memory, and if Roy hasn't made adjustments to his style of boxing to compensate for his lack of speed he could be in trouble. Age is not kind to boxers, and has been especially unkind to Jones.

Roy by KO.
Tito's slow, plodding forward like he is in cement style will get him nowhere against jones handspeed.
By round 4 Jones will be dancing to keep the crowd entertained.

Its the battle of the washed up fighters. Roy is only fighting for the money as he did when he fought Tarver for the third time. i feel that felix is gonna win cuz jones doesnt care anymore

Trinidad won the first two rounds will Jones tryed to upset his focus with showboating, i think Jones wanted to test the water to fell what Trinidad punches where like when he knew he couldnt hurt him he stepped it up,sometimes it was like the old jones with good relexes and speed.the first jones knockdown was racking right hand on the temple and second was hard jab that was the power and straight right to knock him over.Roy Jones W12 ud.

Roy is too quick & Felix needs someone to stand in front of him & not give him any movement. I think Roy stops him the same way Hopkins did!!!

Tito will win because Jones lost his edge

Trinidad in a 12-round decision...it will be a dance, with minimal action.
