It's either by January or forget about it!
"If he wins in September, I'm not waiting until spring,'' Jones said. "If he really wants to fight me, fight me at the end of this year or nothing. If he wants to see me, let's go. January, the latest." Jones Jr., is training for his upcoming match against the undefeated Julio Gonzalez on July 28, insists that he isn't thinking about Trinidad and is focused on his next match. "Julio brings a big heart,'' Jones said. "He's going to have to be knocked out. If he's not knocked out, you have a problem. He might be one of my toughest fights'' But, Jones obviously has Tito on his mind, especially after the way he destroyed Joppy at MSG this past weekend. "I didn't see the fight,'' Jones said, "the reason being that's not my priority right now. I can't be worried about that right now." Since Jones fights at 175 pounds in the light heavyweight division and Trinidad at 160 as a middleweight -- there will likely be a catch weight at 168 which both boxer must meet. Roy Jones has been under fire lately, because many are saying that he doesn't fight the top contenders and that his promoters and camp chooses opponents that styles are "tailor made" for Jones. For example, his last fight against Derrick Harmon. Jones is entering his 12th year as a pro boxer and has fought only two noteworthy opponent in his career -- Trinidad's next opponent, Bernard Hopkins and James Toney. Barring any upsets, the Trinidad-Jones Jr. fight will happen because both fighters understand that boxing is a business and big money will be put on the table for those two fighters to slug it out.

16 2001 -- It seems like Roy Jones is tired of
hearing that Felix "Tito" Trinidad is the best boxer
pound-for-pound and is giving Tito an ultimatum to fight him.
