What does a win mean for you in this fight?
RJJ: "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. 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]."
RJJ: "So if you want to see a wonderful fight-two guys who are going to go at it for real-and I'll give you my word right now that he's not going 12 rounds with me. You want to see a wonderful fight and you want to see a good fight with him getting knocked out, then you want to put your money down and check it out on January 19."
Do you still think the fight will last no longer than 4 rounds?
RJJ: "It will not last longer than 4 rounds. No."
RJJ: "He is smaller than me and it will be hard to not try to knock him out."
Will it be a negative if you don't knock him out?
RJJ: "Trust me, he is not going to go 12 rounds with me. I hear, 'If he does this or if he does that...'. "He may try to do all of that but he is not going to go the distance with me. I really can't see him going the distance with me."
