More quotes by Lennox Lewis
I am definitely not scared of Mike Tyson. I am at the top of the food chain and he is looking to knock me off. Mike's an arrogant imbecile. He sounds like a cartoon character.
Lennox Lewis
Vitali [Klitschko] does want to fight me, but his promoter wants to be bigger than him. This is another situation of politics in the sport.
Lennox Lewis
If the media didn't know I played chess, there'd be no angle on me at all.
Lennox Lewis
Now I am ready to set new goals and start a new career for myself outside of the ring.
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
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
Adversity is something that makes reaching your goals so much more rewarding than if it didn't exist.
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
When I was fighting Tyrell Biggs, Tyson was telling me at ringside to hit him to the ribs. We always had a mutual respect for each other since we sparred those early times. We got that over with.
Lennox Lewis
How can you trust a man who can talk for 5 minutes and you cant understand a sentence of it!
Lennox Lewis
I come across famous people all the time. It's the respect factor I appreciate. They respect me, they respect what I've achieved and the manner I've done it. It's street credibility. They know where I'm coming from, they know my reputation.
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 media can make boxers, controls who makes it big and who doesnt. They can build up fighters or knock them down.
Lennox Lewis
Whatever I do, I always want to get better.
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
You can just fight one man at a time.
Lennox Lewis
Boxing isn't just about brute strength it's about skill and outwitting your opponent.
Lennox Lewis
People are still crying out for Lennox Lewis. They still want to see Lennox Lewis. That motivated me. I am still young. I have a couple fights left in me.
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
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.
