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
