    Roy Jones Jr. and Felix Trinidad Jr. may not be the only ones squaring off at ringside during the "Bring on the Titans" HBO Boxing pay-per-view event this Saturday (January 19) in New York.

     

    Atlanta rapper Pastor Troy has come forward, claiming that he will be walking Jones to the ring in Madison Square Garden and performing Jones’ introduction music.

     

    It was announced yesterday (January 16) that Carol City, Florida rapper Rick Ross would be walking the eight time world boxing champion to the ring during the highly anticipated match up, which is expected to be viewed in 61 million homes.

     

    In addition to walking Jones to the ring, represenatives for Ross told AllHipHop.com that he would also be performing his song "The Boss" from his upcoming album Trilla, which now has a March 11 release date.

     

    Representatives for Pastor Troy revealed that the rapper wrote Jones’ theme music at the boxing champ’s personal request, over a month ago and that he would be performing the song on Saturday.

     

    "Pastor Troy and the eight-time world champion spoke just hours ago discussing details of their grand entrance scheduled this weekend," a representative for Pastor Troy told AllHipHop.com.

     

    "Bring on the Titans" Pay-Per-View boxing match takes place this Saturday (January 19) at Madison Square Garden in New York.

    Excuse me, but last time I checked, Roy Jones wasn't a big deal anymore.  They are actin like this is the fight of the year or that they are walking Floyd Mayweather to the ring!  Then on top of that, these are two HORRIBLE rappers fighting over who gets to show the whole world how terrible they are. I mean damn Roy, was Papoose busy or somethin? Cuz he could've got you pumped up with that "Victory 2007"... but hey, what do I know? I'm just a pawn here in a world dominated by Soulja Boy who is full of more shit than a toilet at a frat house party.

    ****** I agree with you up to the point on sticking with rapping.  Man, it took a long time for me to get that "Y'all Must've Forgot" song out of my head.  I think it was before I tied the noose around my neck when it finally went away.  Roy was a beast back in the 90's, but he's way past his prime and really needs to hang it up and head back to the farm.

    This may be the most attention either one of these guys gets all year.
    Not that serious but heres a question.If Ric Ross is a "Boss" then what would that make a Russell Simmons?

    Cuz the only person that claims Ross really is that, is Ross himself.

    wow. reading the title you would think there was a beef. maybe they are both doing it...at either rate...it doesn't look like there is a DISPUTE...and if their is one..it wasnt thoroughly reported..their is no dispute, just confliciting reports

    truth tella said:

    I got an idea!
    Roy should juz let Rick Ross walk w/him rapping that Hustlin song.since he is hustling all of us to watch his glass jaw azz dance around the ring untill he get knocked da fuck out.Then have Pastor Troy rap for his outro on a strecha.Pastor can read his final will & testament in case he neva wake up again.

    remember roy jones song "yall musta forgot?" that shit was the worst. even cycl-1777 shit is better than that. but real talk, id rather see pastor troy over rick ross. it would be a better look for troy and he would benefit more off of it.

    To Static: Troy isn't hardly horrible. Have you heard his music (especially his introspective songs) or are you judging from Are We Cuttin and bullshit like that? Troy actually has nice material.

    I guess Ross won... but I saw Troy in the building holding his belt, I think it was when Tito was walking to the ring. You couldn't see Ross anyway, but you could hear his music during the intro. During the fight you could see him in the audience. I guess the promotion thing didn't go "that" well. I think I heard him say March 11 though... not sure.
