"He wanted to fight somebody with a bigger……" — Roy Jones Jr.
"He wanted to fight somebody with a bigger name. If he fights a person like me, I am explosive with both hands, so he knows he has to come in on top of his game, so he knows he has to get himself ready. He fought somebody like a Bernard Hopkins or a Winky Wright, he wouldnt have to get himself that ready because they are not power punchers. He knows he is a power puncher and to get to another power puncher, you have to be a power puncher. If you put a power puncher in with a boxer, the power puncher is usually going to get beat because those guys will just stay away and outbox them. So he knows Roy is going to be right there in front of him. So he figures, This is the best chance I can take. He asked for me. I didnt ask for him."
