    Roy Jones: What One Attribute Must He Improve Before The Hopkins Rematch?

    Assuming he wins the tune up, which one attribute/technique/skill should Roy Jones focus on in his training camp against Bernard Hopkins?

    Defense - Upper Body Movement / Bob & Weave / Shoulder Roll etc..
    Defense - Lower Body Movement / Using Legs To Evade etc..
    Punching Power
    Punching Accuracy
    Clinching
    Staying Off the Ropes
    Stamina
    Aggression
    Stance
    Combination Punching
    Other

    (chin transplant not valid answer)

    Danny Green at 200 isn't really a tune up for the current Jones. I wouldn't be surprised to see him KTFO.

      Staying off the ropes, more aggression, and more combination punching. I can't pick just one, so I'll go with these. He's gotta show more fire, like he did against Lacy (of course he's a bum. just saying).

        Accuracy a bit, Roy was throwing alot of hooks at Calzaghe that missed and made him look bad. This isn't Lacy he is fighting now, Hopkins will not just stand infront like a moron he will show alot of angles.

          Stay off the ropes, less showboating, choosing his punches better i.e. no quadruple hooks (they won't work against Hopkins!) and most importantly being prepared for the full 12 rounds.

                  listen to this man!!!....this is Roy's MAIN problem these days!!.....he has no legs so he needs the ropes to help him stand up.....just look at where his best work came against Lacy at.....while he was ON THE ROPES......no legs against A class fighters like Calzaghe and B.Hop (ELITE fighters) will get him ****ed up!!

                    As some already said, footwork is his main problem.
