    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.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
