    Different he was still safety first,its as clear as broad daylight the way he move. He still tired early because he was hurting from Lewis blows.

    Why did he struggle with Smith? How can you box somebody who refuses to fight? If Smith actually came to box he would of been KTFO and he knew it.....Tucker was a good boxer and spent most of the fight dancing away from Mike..Wlad and Vitali would of been on their back from the shots Tucker took in the first few rounds

    Styles. Bonecrusher was a big, strong man and if you're a short come-forward fighter and he wants to hold you, you gonna be held. It was a boring fight, but he was winning it handily.

    Lennox isn't a surefire pick, but the fact remains that the only two people to stop him, and stop him early, were emphatically beaten in rematches, which has to lend credence to the belief that when Lennox was on his game he was a considerably harder man to stop than when he was off it.
