Roy Jones vs Felix Trinidad - Mega fight of '08

ROY JONES vs. FELIX TRINIDAD -- JANUARY 19

The first "mega-fight" of 2008 pits Roy Jones against Felix "Tito" Trinidad in a bout between two competitors who have both been known as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Jones and Trinidad are both ticketed for eventual induction into boxing's Hall of Fame, and the winner of their January 19 confrontation in New York will be in line for at least one last huge payday, in addition to another world title shot.

In terms of boxing history, these two are among the most significant figures in boxing in the 1990's and the early part of the 21st Century. And they have permanent places in the record books. Trinidad (42-2, 35 KO's), the pride of Puerto Rico, has won championships at welterweight, junior middleweight and middleweight during his 17-year career. In the process he became one of the most feared boxer-punchers in the world, scoring wins over the likes of Hector Camacho, Oba Carr, Pernell Whitaker, David Reid, Fernando Vargas, William Joppy and Ricardo Mayorga.

Trinidad's greatest moment, however, was pinning the first career loss on Oscar De La Hoya, winning a 12-round decision in September of 1999. With that win, not only did Trinidad become a tremendous "crossover" star, but an idol among Latin boxing fans. He has not been in action for over two and a half years, since losing a decision to Winky Wright in May of 2005.

Jones (51-4, 38 KO's), a member of the 1988 U.S. Olympic team, beat Bernard Hopkins to win the IBF middleweight title in May of 1993. But he truly cemented a reputation with his masterful performance in defeating James Toney for the IBF's super middleweight crown in November 1994. Jones also dominated the light heavyweight division, holding the title for almost seven years and through 12 title defenses. But the biggest move of his career was winning the WBA heavyweight title over John Ruiz in March 2003. He became the first fighter win titles at middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight since 19th-Century pugilist Bob Fitzsimmons.

Jones has lately been on the comeback trail. In his last fight he won the IBC's vacant light heavyweight crown with a decision over previously undefeated Anthony Hanshaw.

Together, these two have competed in a whopping 48 world title fights.

You'll want to be front and center at the site of some of boxing's greatest moments - Madison Square Garden - when these two square off on January 19.
