Roy Jones Jr Topics

QUOTES

Trust me, he is not going to go 12 rounds with me. I hear, If he does this or if he does that. He may try to do all of that but he is not going to go the distance with me. I really cant see him going the distance with me.

He wanted to fight somebody with a bigger name. If he fights a person like me, I am explosive with both hands, so he knows he has to come in on top of his game, so he knows he has to get himself ready. He fought somebody like a Bernard Hopkins or a Winky Wright, he wouldnt have to get himself that ready because they are not power punchers. He knows he is a power puncher and to get to another power puncher, you have to be a power puncher. If you put a power puncher in with a boxer, the power puncher is usually going to get beat because those guys will just stay away and outbox them. So he knows Roy is going to be right there in front of him. So he figures, This is the best chance I can take. He asked for me. I didnt ask for him.

I could see myself fighting the winner of anything.

If they sign to fight on January 20th, after I get out of the ring against Trinidad, I will go straight to the UK for sure. I love Calzaghe, dont get me wrong. I think he is one of the best super middleweights to come along. The way I look at things, I try to be as fair as I possibly can. I look at the way the world goes and I want to be fair. Now Hatton came over here to fight Floyd Mayweather, now maybe it is our turn to go over there. So if I need to go, Ill go.

I used a different style against Hanshaw because he was so quick, but I think I will keep that style. Especially if the guy is not that big of a puncher it is a good style to use. I am not sure I will use that in the Trinidad fight yet.

What I did do is have a much longer camp to let my body do it the right way. It has probably been about a three-month camp. Right now I feel like my old self. I love it. I am a true professional and I will be right where I need to be come fight time.

The reason why everyone should tune into this fight is because anyone who has ever seen Roy Jones Jr. knows that Roy Jones Jr. puts on a show every time he gets in the ring. I am going to give you a show regardless of who or what is on the other side. Now, with Tito Trinidad on the other side, he comes to fight all day long. Hes bringing his left hook to the game and he thinks he is going to knock me out if he can land it. So if you want to see a wonderful fighttwo guys who are going to go at it for realand Ill give you my word right now that hes not going 12 rounds with me. You want to see a wonderful fight and you want to see a good fight with him getting knocked out, then you want to put your money down and check it out on January 19.

The knockouts did not change me as a fighter. I was more of a boxer as a heavyweight. The problem was when I came back to light heavyweight, I lost all of the muscle and I lost all of the energy. I was going for the knockout because I didnt want to go the whole 12 rounds because my body was tired. I couldnt understand why my body was tired and it didnt dawn on me until now.

I can get a title shot any time I want to. They know I can beat 110% of the champions out there right now. I just have to be motivated. Most of them are going to be trying to not give me a shot.

Personally, if I have the chance to beat Trinidad, I took the gamble. He took the guarantee. Just like I took the guarantee against Ruiz and he took the gamble. I was the bigger fighter, so I took the guarantee. And I will get it back like Ruiz did.

He wanted the best. I can tell you that right now. I sat with Tito and his father in Puerto Rico. We would make money from beating Floyd Mayweather but we wouldnt get any prestige from beating Floyd Mayweather. Roy Jones is the giant on the scene. He is the biggest name and he has history attached to it. Going beyond the payday and adding to his legacy at the same time. This is what counts.

I would fight Glen Johnson, Antonio Tarver, Chad DawsonI dont care. Let me tell you one more time, my time, my probation period is over. I dont care who he is. Line them up and Ill go to them. I dont care where hes at. If we have to go to London to fight Joe, if we have to go to Tampa to fight Tarver, or if we have to go to Miami to fight Glen. I dont care. My name is Roy Jones Jr. I am Superman and I dont care about anybody else.

I love what I do. When you see me in the ring, you will say, He loves what he does. I have a good time performing for people. The people have not been getting all they can get. I am the big guy. I am the one that has to go perform on January 19th. The women that have to get up every day to fight breast cancer? I want to know that they have a chance to win. They have something that they cant even see. They just know that it is on them. I am going to go out and fight to give them another reason to fight. They have told me I give them the fight. So I feel I have to go out there and perform and have fun because you never know who may be watching. My blessing is to be able to go out there and perform.

A win doesnt mean much. Hes got to go. Hes got to go in fo. Just to win the fight would not be good enough for me at this time. He has to go. I really dont care when; hes just got to go. The way I see it, Bernard Hopkins is not as good as me. Oscar De La Hoya is not as good as me. Fernando Vargas? Not as good as me. None of those guys can be my equal, and they stopped him .

I dont know. Probably not. If I beat them I probably would have walked away. He knows what He wanted, not me. But I would have cheated the world out of a whole lot of blessings that He gave me. I feel like there is a lot more entertainment for me to give this sport than I had let them see already. When they robbed me of the [Olympic] gold medal, He knew what that would do to me. It would make me come back and show the world that I would be the best professional fighter ever. And I did that. Had I won, He knew I probably would have quit. But I didnt win, so He wouldnt let me quit.

Yes, and let me tell you why. That is the reason why I never wanted to drink and I never wanted to smoke. Because I wanted to be able to perform at any time and at any age if I had to. I wanted to keep my options open because I didnt know what would happen in my career. But I dont know because its really not my call and I dont know when I am going to leave. Whatever He says, I have to go do. It wasnt my call. I didnt know when I was going to come here. How will I know when I am going to leave? I may have thought so. But I dont know what He had planned for me. What He had planned for me was to go further than I would have wanted I had to go.

If it were, why would I tell you? You are down there in Puerto Rico and you will tell Tito. Are you serious? If I was, you would be the last person to know.

I feel so good, but I havent told you all that, number one. I had to go through a phase where I had to do something for myself. After I won the heavyweight title I came back down and of course there were going to be consequences for that. Because I did something that someone doesnt do every day. It had been 106 years since a former middleweight champion won the heavyweight title. To accomplish that feat, there is a price to pay when you do something historic. People dont understand that. Look at Muhammad Ali. He was at the top but look at the price he has to pay now. He went so high to the top that no one knew the consequences he was going to have to pay. We have to pay a price for the things we do and a lot of times people dont realize that. My Christian brothers and sisters know exactly what I am taking about because if you dont sacrifice, then you are wasting your time. I knew I was going to have to sacrifice and I paid the price. I am not sure if that was the sacrific
