    I wouldn't expect many changes to be honest, expect his typical high volume approach, especially if Roy starts well (which isn't likely from his recent performances). If theres one thing that changes from the Hopkins performance i think he might straighten up his punches a bit more and throw with a bit more quality, more like the Kessler fight.

    I think so too. I don't see any need for him to flurry as much. Jones is stationary, he isn't circling anymore. He just stands there rooted to the canvas with a high guard.

    Gives Calzaghe a chance to get a jab going, which never worked against Hopkins. It should look a lot more educated and easy on the eye.

    Joe will have to box his ass off in order to not let Jones back him up ..Jones can still impose his speed on Joe ..

    The one thing that Jones still has is as good of handspeed as Joe !

    Countless times. Is this a one dimensional question? Yeah... Think about the difference between sporadic exhanges, and a fighter generically walking his opponent down throughout the course of a fight. There are shootouts in every Roy Jones fight that has ever took place, ever. Does that need expansion?

    Interesting, the volume approach will be more dangerous for Calzaghe according to observers like Steve Kim and Bernard Hopkins. They seem to think this will create lots of opportunities for Jones.

    problem is, Joe's resume is sadly littered with Tocker Pudwill's from top to bottom, whilst Jones has three future HOF'ers and plenty of other world champs on his.

    All of his fights? Like the Hopkins fight for example?

    Calzaghe seems to disagree. He's loudly disapproved of that performance.
