T.N.T. Chat Transcript: Roy Jones Jr.

"I'm thinking of going to 168 to fight Calzaghe if I can't get Glen Johnson"

thehype: Boxingtalk would like to welcome Roy Jones Jr. to tonight's T.N.T. chat session

Titlebelt: Roy, Welcome to BoxingTalk, and congratulations on your victory over Ajamu Saturday night. If Glen Johnson is unsuccessful, in his upcoming bout against Clinton Woods for the IBF title, would a rematch with him still interest you?

ROY_JONES_JR: I doubt it very seriously. It may interest me a little, but I doubt it.

philme5: champ its your boy phil from cali, caught the classic roy jones performance in boise. who is next you could be one of the only fighters to beat everyone u faced?

ROY_JONES_JR: Yep and if Glen wins his next fight. that will be the case. But I'm thinking of going to 168 to fight Calzaghe if I can't get Glen Johnson

Ms._Pina: Congrats on ur win Roy!I kept telling ppl that talent didn’t beat Roy, Roy beat Roy.I'd like 2 know what do u feel was God's msg 2 U?R U a better boxer because of it?What do you think about Holyfields next fight? www.myspace.com/flygirl_d9

ROY_JONES_JR: Remain humble, use what I gave you and don't try to be what other fighters are. Have a good time doing what you doing and be the person I ordained you to be.

ROY_JONES_JR: I don't know much about Holyfield's next fight, but I hope he takes care of himself.

Rick: Hey Roy, I have been a fan of yours since I was 13 years old and you are the reason I love boxing as much as I do and your one of my idols. I am 22 now and I was in Boise last Saturday for your 50th win. How important was it for you to reach 50 wins before you called it quits.

ROY_JONES_JR: Very important for me. I got so close and I know God knows everything and he knew I would be motivated to get that fifty and he kept me stumbling to get it.

ROY_JONES_JR: And make you sure go cop 3D with my sons. They doing it real big so cop it at www.fye.com

ROY_JONES_JR: Or you could go to thegroup3D.com

ROY_JONES_JR: Order it, it's hot!

tysonfan4eva: Roy your a true hero of mine and its an honour to have you here! 'what was the emotions running through u after u was robbed of the olympic gold medal? and did u seriously consider quitting boxing after that ! (as stated in your documentary) peace out!

ROY_JONES_JR: Yeah I did consider quitting and just going through my head was, I can't believe I'm going through this again. But once again, that was God making me bite down and work to get to the front.

ROY_JONES_JR: These last three losses put me way behind in the back and now the race has just began again and I just passed my first person

Miguel_NYC: Wassup Roy, Where do you see your self in 2 3 years from now .

ROY_JONES_JR: Back on top and retired.

Smelodies: Do you agree that Felix Trinidad, Joe Louis, and Alexis Arguello were all stylistically identical? Also, do you appreciate Merchant's ball busting or think he gets a good crack in on occasion?

ROY_JONES_JR: I don't appreciate his ballbusting and I think all three of those fighters have similar styles because they were all big punchers for their weight classes.

Pitbull4Life: Roy, thank you.You truly are dead game! I have a serious interest in setting up a fan site that is dedicated to you and including a direct contact to you via email so that the fans can show our support to Superman more personally.Think we could do this?

ROY_JONES_JR: Most definitely. Just call Linda Padgett at 850-433-8292 and we'll see about setting that up.

ROY_JONES_JR: We could have a once a week chat for about an hour.

Antonio00: Roy , how realistic is it that you fight the Maskaev-Rahman winner ?

ROY_JONES_JR: Very realistic if Rahman wins.

CoryR: BODYHEAD! Im yo biggest fan RJJ...Has Golden Boy contacted you about Hopkins yet? I wanna wear some RJJ nike shorts for some amatuer fights...where do I pick those up? When are the bangers droppin another album? We believe in ya Roy!

ROY_JONES_JR: Hit Brand Jordan and they should be able to get them for you. They haven't called from Golden Boy but I don't think Bernard wants to fight. He wants to chill.

ROY_JONES_JR: I don't know, but we dropped the Choppa album called Back Home and we just dropped the 3D album and a Bonecrusher album so you can cop them three and they'll hold you over until I drop another Body Head Bangerz.

Derek: Congrats on a good win! what do you think is the best heavyweigh fight out there...and who do you think is the top heavyweight?

ROY_JONES_JR: It's hard to say. Klitschko may be the best and it's hard to say who a good fight is. I wouldn't mind seeing the winner of Rahman-Maskaev fighting Klitschko, but I don't know who the best heayweight is right now.

DEAL: WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO GET HOPKINS BACK IN THE RING? THAT MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST FIGHT OUT THERE! ALSO, WHAT BLOODLINE ARE YOU RUNNING(DOG)?

ROY_JONES_JR: I ain't running too many dogs. I got some blues that come from Big Boi from Outkast. 

ROY_JONES_JR: And I don't know about getting Bernard back in the ring. It's a big fight, but I don't think he wants it and I aint pushing if he don't want it. 

REEDICKYALUSS: IN THE PRINCE FIGHT, IT LOOKED LIKE ANYWHERE AFTER THE 6TH YOU COULD OF KO'D HIM, BUT YOU LOOKED MORE EFFICIENT AND LESS AGGRESSIVE, DO YOU FEEL YOUR MORE OF A CAREFUL FIGHTER NOW, AND IF YOU MOVE TO FIGHT CALZAGHE, WHAT ABOUT ANOTHER WEIGHT LOSS ISSUE??

ROY_JONES_JR: Not more careful. It was the type of fight that was going my way so why change it.

ROY_JONES_JR: Boxing is the hardest way to win, because you battle fatigued.

ROY_JONES_JR: The weight issue will be something, but it's not like coming from 200 to 175.

ROY_JONES_JR: I'd be going from 175 to 168.

Sage: Why not hang up the gloves while you still have your health? Your legacy is secure. You have nothing else to prove. You will always be considered one of the best lb-4-lb fighters on the planet.

ROY_JONES_JR: Cause I just feel and look good still. When I hang them up, I want to hang them up because I got the most out of my talent that I could get.

ROY_JONES_JR: If I ain't got that, why should I hang them up?

thehype: Boxingtalk would like to thank Roy Jones Jr. for taking time out to chat with us tonight

ROY_JONES_JR: Thanks for having me on, I'll see yall again
