Two Legends Go Head On

On January 26th 2008, Two legends will go toe to toe or rather for Jones box and dance,as for Trinidad aggressively stalk and head hunt. Trinidad will return to the ring after 2 year hiatus to face former undisputed light heavy weight king and pound-for-pound superstar Roy Jones Jr. at a catch weight of 170 pounds. Jones will most definitely be the favorite over the Puerto Rican superstar who is moving up 10 lbs in weight from his previous fight. This fight will most definitely be on a independent pay per view. “If this fight took place a few years ago when originally planned, I think Roy would have overwhelmed Tito and taken him out relatively quickly” said John “The Iceman” Scully a former sparring partner of Jones. “Jones at any point of his career would have an advantage because tremendous hand speed and bursts of power. I am not sure how even a prime Tito would have been able to deal with it”.

Felix Trinidad is coming back for a couple of reasons. Money for him, and the fact that he is envious and does not like the attention Miguel Cotto is getting. Trinidad picked Zab Judah to knock Cotto out in four rounds, the two had plans to ride on the same float at the Puerto Rican Day Parade. Nobody wants to be remembered as some one "who once was the king" Imagine walking around on your island and some one else is talking about a new prince.

Either way it turns out this will be an exciting crossroads match between two former kings and multiple division champions. This bout will still leave many wondering if the two would have met at some point in their respective careers, although the two traveled along different weight classes at the time. If Roy was able to take a heavy weights shots then he should be able to take Trinidad's but this is boxing and anything is possible.
