For me, there's never any bad blood - unless you do something to me.

The danger of a closed mind is that it can also leave good things like love, compassion and reason on its outside.

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.

If I don't feel the same hunger as I once did then I definitely shouldn't box any more.

It's not rage that drives me, it's competition.

As a boxer I took the liberty of using not only my fists, but also my head.

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 that’s nonsense. Only the guy who controls his opponent wins.
