The more irrational you make your opponent, the more control you have over him in the ring.
Roy Jones Jr.
This fan thing doesn't really have any effect on my career goals. You know, I'll still be training fighters and haven't made any career plans yet. Just like I hadn't made any career plans before I fought Maccarinelli. I'll see how it goes, see how I feel. I always listen to my body.
Roy Jones Jr.
If I fought like I was looking for a place in history, it would ruin me as a person. I don't think history is worth selling my soul.
Roy Jones Jr.
My dad sacrificed his relationship with me so I'd be stronger for it. But I could never do it to my kids - I like to have a happy relationship with them.
Roy Jones Jr.
British fans are the best, and we are seeing that. They love the sport of boxing. They follow, they travel, they love their fighters. They will go anywhere in the world to support you. They support better than any other country I've seen to this day.
Roy Jones Jr.
I've tried to stick with the same people from when my career started to today. The more people you add around you, the more distractions you have, and that's the last thing I need.
Roy Jones Jr.
They've made it a felon to drive from Florida to Louisiana with any fighting birds, so I've had to get rid of most of my chickens. I only got about a hundred left now, which I just keep for colour and breeding. I love those birds as much as anything.
Roy Jones Jr.
Boxing has been my life, and it is my life. I've enjoyed every moment of it.
Roy Jones Jr.
One thing I learned from the '88 Olympics: It's not a question of if they can screw you over: it's a question of if they will. It's not the gold medal they took away from me. The medal doesn't mean anything. It's that they said I lost. That experience is well and alive in my mind.
Roy Jones Jr.
With me, I come in the ring and start thinking right away. My thought process is just to put a guy down. I'm like a technician and learn to break it all down - from head to toe.
Roy Jones Jr.
Every day, it was the same: school, homework, farm work, training. Getting hurt or dying might've been better than the life I was living.
Roy Jones Jr.
Fishing keeps you alive, gives you time away - to enjoy God, the creations that He made. Because God made you.
Roy Jones Jr.
I was so scared of my father. He'd pull up in his truck and start looking for something I'd done wrong. There was no escape, no excuse, no way out of nothing.
Roy Jones Jr.
I always had a fetish for fighting big peoples. My dad put me in the ring with much bigger guys. In my first fight, I gave the guy a 14-pound advantage.
Roy Jones Jr.
I started talking about retiring in 1997. This is a brutal game, and 25 years of it ain't good for your health. After I get past Tarver on Saturday, give me Klitschko or Tyson. Otherwise, I'm outta here.
Roy Jones Jr.
I had more energy at 25 and did more jiving around. People got to understand that when you're not so interested in something, you're not gonna do it to the best of your ability. I used to get excited working the crowd, but no more.
Roy Jones Jr.
In my prime, I was the ruler. Simple as that. I understand there's a lot of great fighters who've followed me already since I was the champ - and I hope there's another who comes along does even better because want to see that - but I haven't seen anyone do what I did yet.
Roy Jones Jr.
I never stop. I'll never truly retire, because my mind is always on go.
Roy Jones Jr.
