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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
Boxing isn't just about brute strength it's about skill and outwitting your opponent.
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
Action is what separates the do-ers from the dreamers.
Lennox Lewis
As a boxer I took the liberty of using not only my fists, but also my head.
Lennox Lewis
The fight will last as long as I allow it to last.
Lennox Lewis
You can just fight one man at a time.
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 have always said I am a five-dimensional fighter.
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 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
I'm undisputed and there's no disputing that.
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
I was very aggressive as a child. At primary school in London my attitude was 'If you don't do what I say, I'll knowk you out', and I was eventually expelled for fighting.
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
After about 25 fights you don't always have to keep going to the bathroom before the fight.
Lennox Lewis
There is just one rule about boxing: never bet on the white guy.
Lennox Lewis
Whatever I do, I always want to get better.
