johnmichael-bricRoy Jones Jr.: He Has Nothing To Gain vs. Tito Trinidad
October 21st 2007 05:16
Roy Jones Jr. is really kind of dumb these days. He avoids young and formidable boxers like Dawson and backed out of mega fights because he always has issues with money. I'd say Roy does not have any power to dictate who he fights or how much money should he get since his career is still on a downward spiral. Let's face it, he is not the same unbeatable Roy Jones Jr. we saw 5 years ago. If he was still that guy, promoters will no doubt let him decide and the boxing fans would still look at him highly. Signing in to fight Tito Trinidad is pretty much a joke. He has nothing gain in this fight and if he loses, a big IF, he will surely be verbally lambasted again by his critics. He should have went with the supposed Bernard Hopkins fight but once again, he priced himself out.
If he wants to regain some of his old glory, he better fight the younger and tougher guys in the Light Heavyweight division. Many boxing entusiasts are already getting tired of him and will likely treat his match with Trinidad as more of a novelty rather than a serious boxing match.
