    Maybe a couple of early career ones, but not really when he was established as a pro.

    You could make a case for McCrory, because who in his right mind would believe him to give LL any trouble in that bout?!

    If dragging a mentally unstable McCall out of rehab isn't a cherry pick, I don't know what is. Even then, he couldn't beat him on his own merits

    Come on now how is that LL's fault?

    Someone on McCall's team had to get him medically cleared to fight That blame can't go to Lennox ..

    It was for the vacant WBC title. He didn't have the luxury to "pick" anyone.
