"Yes, and let me tell you why. That……" — Roy Jones Jr.
"Yes, and let me tell you why. That is the reason why I never wanted to drink and I never wanted to smoke. Because I wanted to be able to perform at any time and at any age if I had to. I wanted to keep my options open because I didnt know what would happen in my career. But I dont know because its really not my call and I dont know when I am going to leave. Whatever He says, I have to go do. It wasnt my call. I didnt know when I was going to come here. How will I know when I am going to leave? I may have thought so. But I dont know what He had planned for me. What He had planned for me was to go further than I would have wanted I had to go."
