Roy Jones Jr -500 vs Felix Trinidad ????? Are you serious???
I don't see Roy having to take the same chances against Trinidad.
He might not take chances, but he will spend time covering up on the ropes.

No, that's not what I'm asking. I'm implying that a powerful professional boxer who weighs about 155-160 pounds on fight night would KO anyone if he hits him as flush as Tarver caught Roy.
Okay, but your key word there is "flush".
In his prime no one would have called Tito a slick counterpuncher. He was an accurate and deadly stalker. Now not having fought in two years, he's going to time Roy with power shots? I can see him scoring big when or if Roy puts up the earmuffs on the ropes, but I don't see him landing anything remotely like what Tarver got through. I don't see much point in calling that a "lucky" punch, because in the end a KO is a KO, but Roy never saw that one coming. Tito is orthodox in every sense of the word.
The Magic Milk Dud also had thirty-nine minutes to study Roy up close. Tito hasn't.Glen Johnson stormed Roy before he had a chance to get into a rhythm. Tito can't/ won't do that.
Tito wins only if Roy gets cute and backs up with his hands down. Since there's a small to decent chance that at some point in the fight that happens, there is certainly value in +250. I'd rather take my dog chances though with the Foul Pole at +165.
