    Lennox's biggest enemy was himself in relation to both KO's. as both were lapses in concentration.

    Some overrate Lennox due to him being the last undisputed and others underrate for getting clocked twice.

    If we're balanced it's somewhere inbetween. to be fair to him he avenged both losses.

    I remember him being a little reticant in some fights then in others he went in for the kill straight away.

    The claim of him being chinny is also false as he took everything Vitali could throw at him and showed a good chin against people like Mercer.

    Also those lapses were against average fighters compared to the rest of his resume.

    He was far more focussed when he knew someone was a threat.

    So being average is the best chance of beating him.

    Fast hands with power .... Combined with lulling him into a false sense of security

    If you are Vitali Klitschko, Larry Holmes or Tyson Fury.

    Slickness... As I recall a @Serge post.. Lennox had a severe case of FOS (Fear of the Slickness)

    But let's be real, looking at Lennox's resume there is a high level of cherrypicking and opportunism

    Let me see, You beat Lewis by punching him in the face and knocking him out like Rahman and McCall did. But I am pretty sure that is how you beat every fighter. By punching them in the face.

    Tyson fury, he could probably crack his guard. Then you have all those ranging from dillian Whyte to Frankie Sanchez who hold a punchers chance. That's a lot of hws who could possibly land the hail Mary. But stylistically fury has the nicest game to crush those punches through the ear muffs in a actual competitive fight. Others are all just punchers. Maybe usyk? LL shied away from Chris Byrd? Maybe usyk has the capability to outbox him and hit while not getting hit.

    I think guys like Ali and Holmes would do well against him by using movement. They'd also have both the mental and physical toughness to not crumble if he gets aggressive and rough
