Second of all he may not have been scared of the jab but scared of the potential bombs behind it if he did jump in. All in all he never really had a chance agaisnt Lennox.

Excellent points...Lewis had that effect on many good fighters....With Lewis many guys went in with a game plan and no worries but for some reason the plan unraveled.....Lewis also had a way of making guys worry about the follow up....the way he would at times just kind of put the left out there real weak.....having his opp worried about the big right if they got lazy...and everyone knew what that right hand could do if Lennox landed it.....Does not mean they were scared just cautious....Plus the weight was of no help....
