I dunno if Roy is as bad as he seems, he took all those punches from Calzaghe and didn't falter, he is fighting Bernard at Super Middleweight I don't think bernard has that power that a cruiserweight green has, and Roy looked pretty good against lazy and seemed to be implementing a jab in the Green fight.
Call me crazy but I think he may use a strategy similar to what Jermain Taylor did against Bernard by keeping him on the end of a jab and trying to watch for a right hand.
Roy is like an old ali with his style nowadays, if Bernard is gonna play spoiler, I think Roy has a chance.
Roy doesn't have the chin Ali had
Calzaghe is not a hard hitter what so ever...I mean he hit Lacy what 800 times?
Roy has never been a jabber....

Roy has been an extraordinary jabber when he decides to use it. He used it against Ruiz and Pazienza. He usually leads with his left because he is so fast but when he used a jab he had a great one. since he has been older he seems to have been using his straights more then his hooks. So if he uses that jab against Hopkins he can take him out of his game.
Hopkins isn't the hardest puncher right now either. The last person Hopkins KO'd was Oscar De la Hoya. He has power but I don't know if he hits as hard as tarver at Light Heavyweight or as hard as Green at cruiserweight.

He was a great fast shoot from the hip loose jabber not a text book stand up jabber.

Maybe I worded it wrong....
Jones is not a fighter who uses his jab as a main part of his arsenal....EG- He does not use it every fight to set things up....
I don't see him changing it now...hell he has all he can do to look decent in the ring.....His style is/was one that worked so well because of his great reflexes he did not need to keep hands up high and could shoot from the hip....Today that is not so
