If I can do it, I want to do it because I want to keep on going as long as I can. Can't nobody tell Roy Jones when to start and nobody can tell Roy Jones when he should stop. Roy Jones is going to do what he wants to do and I enjoying myself in the ring and I am going to get back where I want to be," stated Jones.
