More quotes by Lennox Lewis
There is not too much left for me to do, but I am sure there are a couple of great fights out there for me. I have basically achieved my goals. There are a few fights the public wants to see, and that is really what is left for me.
Lennox Lewis
You've got to understand that everything has its time. I had wonderful years as a boxer, I achieved everything. I dont miss anything.
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
Boxing isn't just about brute strength it's about skill and outwitting your opponent.
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.
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
The fight will last as long as I allow it to last.
Lennox Lewis
I have always said I am a five-dimensional fighter.
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
Sometimes success needs interruption to regain focus and shake off complacency.
Lennox Lewis
You can just fight one man at a time.
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
After about 25 fights you don't always have to keep going to the bathroom before the fight.
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
I'm undisputed and there's no disputing that.
Lennox Lewis
I am just taking the top fights out there for me. People will get bored seeing me every day knock someone out.
Lennox Lewis
It's not rage that drives me, it's competition.
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
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
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.
