Who will be the aggressor in Hopkins-Jones 2?

[Jim Jeffries]

Roy Jones>Jermain Taylor

The version of Taylor that fought Hopkins either time > the Roy Jones that just got sparked in the first round by some nobody.

[THE REED]

**shakes head**

Will you be alright on Saturday night?

Probably not.

[ИATAS]

We've never seen Hopkins be the aggressor

lol what?

even in the first fight he was the aggressor

[βetamax]

Hopkins on his strategy, not that anyone was probably expecting him come out flailing like Calzaghe:

Reynaldo (South Carolina (Iraq))

Will you still take the Defensive, counter attack that you have mastered, or will you take another approach to fighting Roy Jones?

Bernard Hopkins
(2:17 PM)

To come out swinging and not having a strategy, I'm not coming out swinging. I will systematically break him down. He's not going to just come out and give me an opportunity, I have to take it. He's a proud champion and he has reason to be, that's why I think he'll fight until the end. He feels like he was wronged in his last fights and he will come out. People have to understand that he's not a guy who doesn't have pride or an ego. He will try to win. I just have to change his mind.

Hopkins on his strategy, not that anyone was probably expecting him come out flailing like Calzaghe:

If Hopkins trys to break roy down in the middle of the ring systematically, I predict Roy will win. The styles make fights factor then comes into play, in my opinion. Hopkins needs to be aggressive and throw punches in bunches, otherwise roy will influence the judges with flashy bursts. Roy is still faster than Hopkins with combinations.

The referee

[KickAzz]

Hopkins was in the first fight but has since turned into a cagey counter puncher, will Jones' speed advantage make Hopkins have to lead again? Or will he try and keep his counter punching open and try to make Roy lead? This could be a reall dull fight if neither commit to going forward.

hopkins is gonna have to bring the fight. rjj will be happy to go 12 rounds.

hopkins better put a beating on rjj... I mean it better be like mel gibson's passion of the christ like beating.
