"I wanted to fight Mike Tyson. I should have quit for awhile but I knew people loved to see me.
I didn't prepare right so it didn't go right. My body just didn't react when I went back down to 175. I made a sacrifice to win the heavy weight title. If the price was to get knocked out it was worth it.
It was very difficult to figure out. It took almost three years to get my body right after fighting at heavy weight.
But I feel different now. My body has adjusted again. When I come into the boxing ring the people know they're going to see something they've never seen. He ain't never seen anyone like me."

I'll bet 20K to your 40K.
Give me an extra 10K if Enzo jumps in crying to save his son.
Weird.
Not the greatest odds I could get but I'll take it.
No hard feelings fella, good luck. :boxing:
If your referring to me, I was boxing. Weird.
OK, straight bet any result, you got Roy I got Joe. 50k?

i don't believe roy when it comes to the things he says about himself.if he wins this fight than calzaghe isn't as good as i thought he was.all this shit he says is bullshit.3 years? really?
Weird, not heard anything yet.
I was on my lunch break, how weird.
No I'm not going to bet on that, that's ridiculous - I was just joking.
Don't bet mad at me that your hero only has a chance at beating a shell of Jones.
I'll make a bet that Jones beats him, no matter how! Whether it be KO/TKO, decision, if Joe quits,etc.
damn roy looks focused and im worried about calzaghe recent hand injury
i dont think ill be betting real cash on this fight
what happened to u saying he would be brutally KOed?
RJJ's body still ain't right. he wasn't able to take out a badly faded and blown up tito. He's shot.
he didnt take out david telesco when he was 29 years old... was he shot then too?
i read exactly what he said about the fight... i simply disagree with u.. leave it at that... thats the reaosn he gave for losing the fight
I read what he said as well.
We'll leave it at that.
Actually...it's not. I'll say it again, you should find out what they asked him.
Like..."How are things with your father?" "Is he happy about the loss?" " What if you won?"
i read exactly what he said about the fight... i simply disagree with u.. leave it at that... thats the reaosn he gave for losing the fight
dude, that is the reasoning he gave for why he didnt win the fight...
he didnt say tarver was the better man... he didnt say tarver was outboxing him
that is the reason he gave for why he didnt win the fight

besides Cotto-Margarito, this was the ony fight I wanted to REALLY see this year! The closer it gets the more I'm convinced that Roy will win. Roy sat ringside and watched Joe struggle with a 43 yr old man......in boxing you're only good as your last fight!! Roy dominated Tito with torn muscle in his arm.....like Kris stated, thats god dam impressive:boxing:
Bernard said this would be a slap boxing contest(I disagree) I think we will see 12 rounds of world class boxing at its best by 2 guys capable of such performances!! Both fighters will get hit often....why? neither guy has ever faced a guy with the type of hand speed they'll be confronted with on fight night. I just think Roy will put on the performance of his life because Calzaghe will come in lookin for a KO that he'll never find that night. He thinks Roy's chin is weak.....I never hear noone mention this but Ruiz caught Roy kinda flush in the 1st round of that fight and Roy took it well!
Nah man...what you should ask yourself is...what did they ask him right before he said that?
dude, that is the reasoning he gave for why he didnt win the fight...
he didnt say tarver was the better man... he didnt say tarver was outboxing him
that is the reason he gave for why he didnt win the fight
he couldnt of possibly meant it anymore without saying it...
"if i would have won, my father would of gotten the credit"
Nah man...what you should ask yourself is...what did they ask him right before he said that?
I see what you mean. But as I said, he never said he lost on purpose to tarver

It should be noted that Jones never actually said he intentionally lost the bout, but many writers in the media are interpreting what Jones said in that type of fashion, by what one writer called "reading between the lines."
Jones, returns to the ring on July 29 in a pay-per-view battle with unknown light heavyweight Prince Badi Ajamu.
