“I'm the legend killer. That's my new moniker. Like Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins had his era and now he's got to go. Personally, I think he's nuts for even thinking he can beat me. But I'm not going to talk him out of (trying).”
Antonio Tarver
“the Roy Jones of old just to survive.”
“Whatever Roy Jones brings, it won't be enough. I've trained hard. I'm a better fighter.”
“This fight is more about what Roy Jones lost than what I took,”
“Tonight I had to really dig deep because you saw the best of Roy Jones.”
“Tampa is not a hillbilly city. They know who Roy Jones and Antonio Tarver are. They know the deep lines of hatred these guys have for each other. That is what sells this fight. Sure, I'd love to have them in the same room because you can feel the tension. You can feel it. I'd love for the fans to see it, but if Roy doesn't show up until the week of the fight, or the night of the fight, what everybody will see is their hatred when they are in the ring.”
Joe DeGuardia
“[In addition to a healthy Charles Rogers, first-round picks Roy Williams and Kevin Jones made immediate impressions.] Now we've got talent, ... There is so much young talent on that field, I'm obviously expecting great things.”
