June 2nd 2006
Roy Jones, Jr. (via telephone from Pensacola, Florida), said at today's press conference, "I'm looking forward to the opportunity to return to the ring and delighted to get back. I'd like to thank Prince Badi for accepting my challenge. I look forward to fighting in Boise. It's a very good place for me to start my comeback and start Roy Jones' climb to the top. I can't wait to get there and I'll be there a week-and-a-half to two weeks to train.
"Prince Badi is a very tough person who a lot of guys don't want to fight. A lot of guys have avoided getting in the ring with him, he's sparred with top fighters, but no one wanted to get in the ring for real with him. He's very intelligent and a delightful guy (who's getting a chance) to fight a legend. He's going to come to win, I respect that and I'm coming to win, so may the best man win.
"I'm still the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, when I'm motivated, and I'm motivated now because a lot of people don't think that I am the best. If I lose it, I doubt it; I will call it a day. I'm not concerned about what I'm going to do (after boxing). If I win, but not in good fashion, I could call it a day.
"I'm extraordinary. People are going to get the old Roy Jones, Jr."
Prince Badi Ajamu (live in Boise): "Boxing is a very unpredictable sport. I believe my chance of winning is just as good as Roy's. I'm focused on the fight. I'm very, very excited and my excitement will be shown in the ring. I'm a very adaptable fighter that makes the right decisions in split seconds.
"This is the biggest fight for me to date. I'm not looking past this fight; I'm specifically focused on this fight. I sparred a lot of guys (including) Antonio Tarver and Bernard Hopkins. I appreciate it (sparring with them) because It showed me that I could definitely compete at this level. (Sparring) Is like testing a product in a laboratory. You test it and test it before you take it out and put it against the best in the world.
"I don't make guarantees or predictions. I will guarantee that I will give 110-percent and you'll see a very exciting fight. I think Roy Jones is a legend in his own right, a Hall of Famer. I've always admired him and feel that it's an honor to fight him.
"Come July 29th, all the great fighters from Philly and Jersey and especially the guys who never got their shot, will be on my shoulders. Roy is going to have to take on all of us on July 29th."

He is a little delusional if he believes he's as good as he was at the start of the decade....im apprehensive about this fight...
at least he says he will retire if he loses or wins in less than convincing fashion.....

Re: Roy Jones JR: "Im still the best P4P fighter in the world"
Wow. That's incredible. I wanted to see RJJ fight Calzaghe, not that it would do either of them any good.
Re: Roy Jones JR: "Im still the best P4P fighter in the world"
Haha roys off his trolly!
Re: Roy Jones JR: "Im still the best P4P fighter in the world"
Jones will lose by Ko... trust me.
Re: Roy Jones JR: "Im still the best P4P fighter in the world"
No.. Calzaghe would have injured both hands had a cold and a bruised toe if he had to go up in weight to fight Roy ;D
Anyway the best thing I heard out of Roy there was that if he loses or doesn't look spectacular, then he's retiring.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug ;D
Re: Roy Jones JR: "Im still the best P4P fighter in the world"
Maybe RJJ should fight Prince Naseem Hamed instead. Or Ali!
Re: Roy Jones JR: "Im still the best P4P fighter in the world"
roys caught holyfield disease
Re: Roy Jones JR: "Im still the best P4P fighter in the world"
Roy says if he loses or doesn't impress he's retiring. So its not Holyfield disease.
Re: Roy Jones JR: "Im still the best P4P fighter in the world"
