If you go to Madison Square Garden, you better have your A game ready, because here goes the thing, they love boxing. They either like you, or they don't like you. They're either cheering for you, or they're cheering for you to die...They want you to kill, or be killed.
Roy Jones Jr.He just got his neck broke one time, I'm not tryna break his neck again, that's not what I fight for. I fight to have fun, not to hurt nobody.
Roy Jones Jr.I never was a person that wanted that life...I'm a leader not a follower. I don't care what they say, or what they're doing or what they're wearing. Go ahead, cos come Judgement Day, all of that won't matter. How many people did you help. How many people did you talk to. How many people did you try to encourage. How many people did you bring to God. That's what's gon' matter.
Roy Jones Jr.Boxingโs an art, itโs a science, and you donโt go out to knock people out. If they happen to get knocked out, they happen to run into one of these bricks by mistake [looks at his fists], thatโs their fault.
Roy Jones Jr.I don't know if I'm the best Pound-For-Pound fighter ever. I know I'm close. I gotta be Top 5.
Roy Jones Jr.When I fought Montell Griffin, he quit on me, on the floor, I hit him with a soft punch and he laid down like I knocked him out, and it kinda upset me. I told him I don't care what it is, just give me the rematch. And then I really had to teach him the difference between acting like you've been knocked out, and getting hit for real.
