Roy Jones Jr the former four-division champion beat former three-division champion Tito Trinidad who has not fought since his second retirement in 2005 by a 12-round unanimous decision at Madison Square Garden in New York City on January 19, 2008. In a crowd of 12,162, well short of The Garden's 20,000 seating capacity, Jones proved too big and too fast for Tito who was down in the 7th and 10th rounds. Jones was coming off a 12-round unanimous decision win against previously undefeated Anthony Hanshaw in Biloxi, Mississippi on July 14, 2007 capturing the vacant IBC light heavyweight title. This is Jones' third win since his losses to Antonio Tarver and Glenn Johnson. Now Jones would like a fight with Joe Calzaghe.

Roy Jones Jr won a 12 round unanimous decision victory over Prince Badi Ajamu on July 29, 2006 at the Qwest Arena in Boise, Idaho ending his three fight losing streak and capturing the lightly regarded NABO light heavyweight title. All three judges scored the fight 119-106 for Jones. His last previous win on November 08, 2003 when he beat Antonio Tarver. Jones has now won his sixth belt in four different weight classes.
In 2003 Roy Jones defeated heavyweight John Ruiz by a 12-round unanimous decision winning the WBA heavyweight title. Jones became the first former middleweight title holder to win a heavyweight title in 106 years and also the first fighter to start his career as a junior middleweight and win a heavyweight title. Relinquishing his WBA heavyweight title Jones captured his old WBC light heavyweight title from Antonio Tarver by a 12-round unanimous decision on November 8, 2003. In a rematch on May 15, 2004 Jones lost it to Tarver by a 2nd round KO.
Glen Johnson vs Roy Jones Jr
On September 25, 2004 Jones attempted to win the IBF light heavyweight title from Glen Johnson. Caught in round nine by an overhand right to the jaw and a left hook to the chest Jones hit the deck hard, the back of his head slamming into the canvas. His hands frozen in a clinched position and his body rigamortis stiff Jones remained motionless on the canvas for 4 minutes his eyes flickering open then closing again before he began to talk.
The Antonio Tarver vs Roy Jones Jr III rubber match took place on October 1, 2005 a little over a year after Glen Johnson knocked Jones out. Some boxing writers called the fight a disaster ready to happen, that Roy Jones was tarnishing his image and was putting his legacy on the line. Although Jones was rocked in round eleven he came back to win round twelve. Tarver ended up winning the fight by a 12-round unanimous decision but Jones' image was't tarnished. You gotta to give it to him for coming back after two straight knockout losses to face one of the fighters who made him eat the resin of the canvas.
