It's really a slap in the face to all those who have pumped him up and glorified him all these years and that's the media, ... He shows no compassion for the sport - the sport that made him a wealthy man, an icon. Shame on him. |
Maybe now people will give a man credit where credit is deserved. Roy Jones was beaten by a better fighter period. I'm one of the best in the world. |
My legacy doesn't end or begin with Bernard Hopkins. I have a future. |
Put real life in perspective... I am not in awe by the media or HBO... they are the ones that have made Roy Jones into some kind of icon... they have blown him up... well I am the one who popped that balloon. |
Rocky is coming back. [The movie] is going to be on a big stage in boxing. [Rocky] has never fought a real champion, and I'm not going to tell you the outcome [of the movie], but I ain't used to losing, |
Roy had a lot of resistance, ... playing chess all around. He was beat by a better fighter. Period. I passed my test. I did my homework. |
Roy Has Come Up And Said, This Is It, This Is All Or Nothing |
Roy Jones gave me the platform, ... If you all - the media, the public - wouldn't have built him so high, my accomplishment probably wouldn't have been so great. A lot of people want to say that he lost a step, he's not the same fighter. He didn't lose a step until he met me. I just want the whole world to know that no matter what point in his career, I always spelled trouble for Roy Jones. |
Roy Jones Has No Excuses This Time |
Tampa, get ready because here we come, ... It's going to be an electric night of boxing, and once and for all we will put the nail in Roy Jones' coffin. May he rest in peace. |
That remains to be seen, ... Roy didn't give himself enough time off before he fought Glen Johnson. Now he's had time to rest, physically and mentally. He looks good; we know he's serious. A desperate fighter is a dangerous fighter, and Roy is desperate now. If he loses this fight, it's all over for him so he's going to prepare like he's never prepared before. I'm training for the best Roy Jones ever. If he's less than that, so be it. If he's a shot fighter, I'm the one who shot him. |
The fight will give me what I want. It brings about the luster of boxing our sport is missing. If I can't beat Mike Tyson, I can't run with the big boys. |
The guy had great resilience. He came to regain his throne. It didn't happen tonight. I did what I came in to do. |
the Roy Jones of old just to survive. |
The stage is set. The only problem is they picked the wrong guy. |
