Lennox Lewis Quotes About Rings

Quotes about: Rings

• I play chess about four hours a day in training camp. You have to decide what move to use, or what combination of moves. I think less when I box because the reaction time is a lot quicker, but some people call me the chess boxer because they say I think too much in the ring. I take my time and they don't see the action they want. Some boxers just go in there and just throw punches and hope to win.

You know all the boxing styles, you’re prepared for anything, you’ve got the pedigree that you need to be a successful pro.
