fighting boxing lost
This fight is more about what Roy Jones lost than what I took
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.

I think it's a slap in the face to all the people that have pumped him up and glorified him over the years,

I feel like God gave me an amazing ability, and it's my duty to show people what I'm made of.

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.

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.
strong fighting light
I was a big light heavyweight but I feel perfect at heavyweight. When I look back at some of my old fights, I was really just a shell of myself. Now I'm healthy and strong and ready to get to the top.
blessed struggle unique
I wasn't blessed with this unique talent for nothing. I have to put it on display. The game hasn't retired me. When I went through all of my struggles, I became a champion right then. Now I just have to walk through my destiny.
fighting
I'm fighting the very best and I'm beating the very best. I'm looking to knock everybody out.
art reality champion
When I look at the 'Rocky Balboa' film when I played the undisputed heavyweight champion, I feel like art is going to imitate life. I played the champ in a movie and I'm going to become the champ in reality.
excuse excuses
I got a question, ... Do you got any excuses tonight, Roy?
