The Glade 4.0

Does anyone want to see these guys still in the ring? They are pushing 86 years old combined. They are both Hall of Famers along with other guys from their era like De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Jermain Taylor etc (well, Taylor is only 31 and still relevant in the middleweight division, but he has the sense to know when to hang it up). They both have had success in multiple divisions and Bhop holds the record for title defenses and consecutive title defenses.

Enough is enough, they couldn't even pack a 12,000 stadium. Everyone wanted to see this rematch from 1993, but they wanted it over 10 years ago.

Roy never recovered from putting on the weight to fight Ruiz as a heavyweight.

He looked OK again a coming back Felix Trinidad who just beat a game Ricardo Mayorga. I thought Tito was done after getting beat by Hopkins, but the Mayorga fight showed otherwise.

I think it was the Calzeghe fight that did it. Joe Calzeghe pretty much beat the piss out of Jones that whole fight except for the knockdown in the first.

I would have said Jones was done after his two fights with Antonio Tarver, but his win over Trinidad made him look decent. Even though he might have had every physical advantage in that fight, he really took it to Tito, though one might say Tito should never have tried to comeback again.

Relative to Tito he looked OK, but his speed was all but completely gone. With Jones' unique defensive and punching style, his body and foot speed were everything, even more so than his hand speed which was less relevant because the angles of Jones's punches were far more important. When he lost that, punches hit him squarely when he had never been hit before. And we learned something about Jones that none of us had ever suspected: He has a glass jaw. He was never the same fighter again after that first Tarver fight.
