    he never used to have more power than Roy, but he certainly does now. Roy doesn't hit hard at all anymore, but Hopkins still has respectable power, he hurt Calzaghe a few times(and not Calzaghe was never hurt by Kessler realistically), He hurt Tarver, he, Bernard, didn't hit Winky really hard, but he had to throw shorter punches just to land on Ronald. Where has Roy shown power? Beside a punch to the temple which Trinidad acted like he got hit in the temple, and a jab that caught Trinidad off balance where did Roy show a significant amount of power?

    What Fucked Jones was moving up to Heavy, developing muscle and having to lose it Neurophysicaly thats hard. To me it looked about5 kilo now thats no easy thing to move, neurons dont like the Hassle of change over a short period they get the Hump and dont respond ignorant little Fuckers. But they might be listening again.

    This is exactly what I've been trying to say. I believe his questionable chin came from him draining himself in this way but I think his body has re-established itself as a LHs body again and his power will mark my words be back for this fight. He has said for a long time himself now that he will not hurt anybody unless he has to. Well he may just have to hurt Joe. That said to say he's hitting so gently just recently according to certain people on this thread, Ajamu would probably disagree with you as he spent over 2 weeks in hospital after their fight with internal bleeding from the "soft" body shots Jones was bombarding him with!

    Jones went in to his shell every time Trinidad attacked which wasnt often and bearing in mind Trinidad was a welter

    Jones might as well take a german bunker and place against the ropes, that is the only way I see him lasting the distance.

    Jones is too slow to engage or run away, he has no upper body movement, just a high guard he hides behind.

    At this point in time Calzaghe holds all the aces, at one point it would have been on even terms but Jones is trying to fool his fans, I dont think hes fooling himself because he didnt try fighting in his last fight with Tarver.

    Jones knew that cuz he was much bigger than Tito that everytime he thrwew punches he just had to stand there with his hands up high cuz he knew Tito couldnt get round his defence. He saw that vs Winky and thought theres no need to punch with Tito .

    Jones got his flair back in that fight , you could see the way he was showboating that he felt in total control, but the look he had on his face in the 3rd Tarver fight is the same look I expect to see in this fight - One that says he knows he isnt doing enough to win and is struggling to keep up the pace.

    What the Tito performance did tell us is that give Jones the room to box and he will but even if he does land cleanly he wont ever try and finish the job so I dont see how he beats Joe in this fight .

    What Jones last fight told me, is that give Jones an ex welter who hasnt fought for 3 years was coming off a loss in that fight and hadnt won for Four years, then he will do Ok but still not great.

    Trinidad wouldnt have been standing to the final bell with Calzaghe

    You reckon ?

    You could be right but I duno . Wright didnt stop Tito and Joe hasnt been putting people over recently so Tito may have been able to last with him . Jones did a pretty clean job on Trinidad but I suspect Joes would be alot uglier and messy. As I say could be wrong but there you go.
