    That Lazy fighter beat every man he ever faced in probably the second best era of HW boxing....

    He wasn't so gun shy he flinches at the cutman ALA Wlad

    He sure as hell would not have gone 12 rounds with Kevin Johnson

    #1 I never said Lennox wasn't good it's simply the FACT he's older, he's been out of boxing for some time now and boxers seldom improve with age and 4+ year layoffs

    #2 His era had very good fighters but Lennox took his time getting to Evander and Tyson. And there were a couple fighters he simply didn't fight, not that he ducked anyone at any point in time but they simply didn't fight. And there was a rematch with Ray Mercer that didn't happen.

    #3 Wlad can't control his era he can only beat those brave enough to step in the ring with him

    #4 If a fighter just comes to "last 12 rounds" then it's difficult to get the KO no matter who you are or who you're facing.



    .....and you can take that smart ass remark of yours about Wlad flinching at the cutman and post it at Eastside because stupid shit like that shouldn't come from a poster like you.


    End rant

    I'm tempted to go with the crowd that says Lennox would clean up the HW division, except for the Klitschkos. But the sad fact is that Lennox has been away from boxing FAR too long, and has no business coming back (although who could blame him, when you hear of blokes like Holyfield and Botha still fighting).

    But the fact that this would even be a topic of discussion speaks volumes about the sorry-ass state of the HW division nowadays. I have to laugh when the HW defenders start to dredge up the dreadful list of nobodies, have-beens, and never-will-be's in order to try to make the point that the HW division isn't that bad.

    News flash: It's beyond bad. It absolute reeks.

    He had lost his footspeed toward the end, but he moved very will in his prime. He's wasn't Ali, but he used his feet and upper body movement to both to avoid punches and create angles for himself. When he got tagged, it was because he overestimated his ability to avoid punches and dropped his hands. He got sloppy and arrogant.

    Watch Morrison fight and compare his movements then to his movement in the Vitali fight.

    Both Kiltshko's beat him with 2 arms in traction within 4 rounds.
