More quotes by Lennox Lewis
If youve got physical weaknesses, youll lose. Nobody who gets cut easily can be a champion, however strong and talented he is. Boxers are trained to see and exploit their opponents weaknesses, they hit you on your wounds. Only the strongest survive in this sport.
Lennox Lewis
Adversity is something that makes reaching your goals so much more rewarding than if it didn't exist.
Lennox Lewis
Whatever I do, I always want to get better.
Lennox Lewis
I don't see where Tyson Fury has boxed anybody of Wladimir's [ Klitschko] calibre to be able to get in the ring with Wladimir and do well.
Lennox Lewis
If the media didn't know I played chess, there'd be no angle on me at all.
Lennox Lewis
After about 25 fights you don't always have to keep going to the bathroom before the fight.
Lennox Lewis
The fact is that Mike Tyson bit through my trousers and took a significant piece of flesh out of my thigh.
Lennox Lewis
Sometimes the image of the intellectual boxer did for me more harm than good. If a boxer has a reputation as an intellectual, some people no longer respect him as a fighter. With me it was always Lennox should react, not think. But thats nonsense. Only the guy who controls his opponent wins.
Lennox Lewis
The fight will last as long as I allow it to last.
Lennox Lewis
Boxing isn't just about brute strength it's about skill and outwitting your opponent.
Lennox Lewis
How can you trust a man who can talk for 5 minutes and you cant understand a sentence of it!
Lennox Lewis
It's a very interesting fight [Klitchko vs Tyson Fury] because this is the first time [Wladimir] Klitschko is fighting someone as big as him and with longer arms. He will have to be a little bit more aggressive, otherwise the younger guy will have more speed and more energy and I think that may be the difference.
Lennox Lewis
There is just one rule about boxing: never bet on the white guy.
Lennox Lewis
During the past twenty-three years, I have set a number of goals for myself and I’m proud to say that these goals have been achieved.
Lennox Lewis
I have always been English, ever since I emigrated from England and since the kids in Canada beat me up at the age of twelve for having an East London Cockney accent. I thank them for the cockney taunts because the beatings turned me on to boxing. But on a serious note Canada has been kind to me.
Lennox Lewis
As a boxer I took the liberty of using not only my fists, but also my head.
Lennox Lewis
Every era that comes along has a superstar that emerges. Once we are out of the game, there will be a superstar who will emerge that everyone will notice.
Lennox Lewis
When I saw Tyson knocking everybody out on TV, I thought, He's goooood. But when I saw him in person, he didn't look as awesome.
Lennox Lewis
Now I am ready to set new goals and start a new career for myself outside of the ring.
Lennox Lewis
A boxer should quit at the top, as they say. But thats complicated. There are plenty of people in boxing who make money out off you. And they tell you that youve still got it, that its still getting better.
