    During the Golota Camp I caught the champ walking on the beach, deep in thought.
    I saw that he was picking up star fishes and throwing them into the ocean.

    "I must ask,, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" I asked the champ .

    To this, Lewis replied "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."

    Upon hearing this, I asked, "But,tko6 master, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"

    At this,Lewis bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one."

    Great quote taken directly from "chicken soup for the soul" kinda ironic considering Lewis was too "chicken" for the rematch

    You do realize TKO6 came a bit after the Golota camp, right?

    How good is Lennox Lewis?

    The Birmingham Post (England)

    Jul 15, 2000

    JANE COUCH (women's world champion)

    'Lennox is obviously the best of a bad bunch in this era, but I wouldn't put him in the top ten of all time. All those before him were better.

    'He'll probably beat Mike Tyson now and he'll definitely beat Botha - but he wouldn't have lived with Tyson in his heyday.'

    What a joy to read a thread of such heroism in this ESB sea of negativity. Thank you Yoan. And on behalf of all the starfish of the world, thank you tko6 master. Inspirational.

    The only starfish that Lennox Lewis is interested in is the chocolate variety.

    C'mon man, he was obviously referring to his TKO 6 destruction of Tommy Morrison. Or Jean-Maurice Chanet. Or Dan Murphy......
