boxing tonight excuse
Yeah I got a question: Any more excuses tonight, Roy?
mistake fighter intimidation
He was bested by a better fighter, ...I didn't feel like he was intimidated. If I made a mistake he would have punished me.
men giving people
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.
fighting destiny starting-over
Every fight is do or die for me. I've come too far to start over. I'm on a destiny trip right now. I'm racing towards that heavyweight world championship.

I'm fighting the very best and I'm beating the very best. I'm looking to knock everybody out.
