    trinidad fought like trinidad. he wasn't rusty or anything. he tried his best to ko jones and he had good conditioning cuz he lasted till the end even though he got knocked down. if you put trinidad in the ring with vernon forrest, you will see what would happen. even though trini will fight the same, ppl will say only if trini was in that condition against jones. the same goes for roy against calz or kessler, he would destroy those 2 and ppl will say "kessler hasn't been the same since fighting calz" or visa versa.

    Jones' age is an illusion and ppl should not be considering it. Cuz all the things that suppose to come with that age haven't happend to jones. Jones is still faster than anyone and he can still fight in the 12th round just as good as in the 1st round. That is more than you can say about alot of great conditioned prime fighters right now.

        What wasn't an illusion was him getting SMASHED by Tarver and Johnson!!!! Them guys exposed Jones Jr. It's funny to me that his age only plays a part when he loses but when he wins he is instantly back!!!! Didn't every fight fan know going in Tito would have problems against the naturally bigger man? Wasn't Tito a 3 or 4 to 1 underdog? Basically Jones beat someone he was supposed to beat, he beat a natural WW who has only fought twice since '04, so what makes this win so good? If Jones was still as good as you guys say he is that's just sad b/c I was giving him the benefit of the doubt in his loses to Tarver and Johnson due to age!!!!

          first off, if you watched the analysis from the commentators during the fight against trinidad, they said that him losing weight after his heavyweight fight played a big factor in his down fall. that wasn't walk-around fat that he lost which is easy, he had to lose 30 pounds of muscle. that hasn't been done before, its very draining. he would beat tarver and johnson in a rematch if he fights with his new style. jones has his offensive game in tact + his new winky wright defense. his defense was just as effective as wrights is and he has that punching speed. its the perfect combination of skills. you aren't giving him enough credit but you will in due time. just wait, by the end of this year, your opinions about him will be changed unless you are a true hater and will make up some more nonsense.

            Woods
            Green

              Jones already took woods in 6, and he is much better now mentally than he was than. Erdei and Green have no where near the skills of a trinidad and they would get beaten by decision by a much larger margin.

                Do you think Roy Jones Jr. went back to the future and found his prime again or what? Dude is done he looked alright but I guarantee he does not make any "real" noise in any division!!!!

                  no hes definitely not prime anymore... and his time IS limited.. and I hope he makes a meaningful fight SOON before this new found energy is gone for good... if he gets a fight w joe, if joe beats bernard.. your gonna witness, one, motivated, roy jones jr... to go out on a title, and set another record... and erase the way he was going to go out witht he knockouts... he will be motivated beyond motivated, and thats dangerous for anyone

                    After what happened in Seoul do you think that fight should be in London... Have you seen Kasitdis/Earl? The brits can be shady...
