Was Lennox truly dull?

Even when he was in safety mode he still throws his right hand alot more than Wlad does when he fights .

absolutely, wlad makes lennox look like a real mayorga!

i think the chess player mentality steered him towards to side of caution. However he had his fair share of exciting fights and performances. Mason, Ruddock, Bruno, Mercer, Golota, Briggs, Grant, Botha, Rahman, Klitschko.

He was the most dominant heavyweight of his era so he must have been doing something right.

I was never much of a Lennox Fan, but I credit him with being one of the smarter fighters in heavyweight history. Yeah he was slow and kinda of boring most of the time, but the truth is he took the easiest route to win the fight because he was smart enough to.
He used distance,a heavy jab and movement against guys he couldn't afford to get into a fire fight with and bum rushed the guys he knew were mentally fragile or known for not having a heart. He was a boxer more than a fighter... and a strategist as opposed to a beast. Its a formula that brought him success.
I really only took exception when he used strategy to coast to a safe win and celebrated by pounding his chest like he just mauled someone.
