When asked the question what does a win in this fight mean for him, Jones Jr. responded with: “A win doesn't mean much. He’s got to go. He’s got to go in fo'. Just to win the fight would not be good enough for me at this time. He has to go. I really don't care when; he's just got to go."

Jones Jr. then added: "The way I see it, Bernard Hopkins is not as good as me. Oscar De La Hoya is not as good as me. Fernando Vargas? Not as good as me. None of those guys can be my equal, and they stopped him [ Trinidad ].
