built gave jones lose lost matter media met people point public roy step trouble until
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.

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.
anyway avoid best difference foot gonna guy hard knocked last looking october outcome stays stick unsure works
I don't know what he can say anyway that's gonna make a difference in the outcome of this fight, ... When you look at a guy that's unsure of what's gonna happen, the last thing you want to do is come out and stick your foot in your mouth. So it's best that he stays quiet, he stays hidden, and he works as hard as he can work to avoid the inevitable, and that's getting knocked out on October 1st. So when you're looking at a guy from that standpoint, you have to say 'okay, I understand.'

It is with great regret that I must inform you that I have concluded that the best route for me and my family is to fight Glen Johnson on December 18, 2004,
best dangerous desperate fighter fought himself jones less looks loses physically prepare prepared remains roy shot time training
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.

A lot of people are thinking I'm one-punch happy. I'm a better fighter today than you've ever seen. I'm more focused. I'm more convinced of my ability. Whatever Roy Jones brings, I'm here to tell you it won't be good enough. Not here. Not now. Not ever.
