    **** I don't know. I like Larry here. Lennox had trouble with jabbers. Larry is very skilled, fast, excellent movement, great sense of range, and has a huge fighting heart. i like him to pick his spots and outskill, outjab lewis for a close points win.

    Interesting...both got hit by titanic right hands twice near there primes....Lennox by Rahman and McCall, and Holmes by Snipes and Shavers. Difference is Larry survived and came back to win. Lennox did not.

    Suzie, you can't forget, Holmes was vulnerable for a right cross, which was Lennox's money punch. Certainly Lewis hits nearly as hard as Shavers and certainly harder then Tyson.

    Ya..your rite. thing is, lennox never really knocked out any elite durable fighters. I would have been really interested to see lennox waste an aging holyfield in at least once of their 2 fights, but he couldn't even knock him down in 24 rounds. This looks good for Bowe.

    Tyson had a good chin. McCall had a good chin. Raham had a decent chin. I guess you can count the klitschko win because the cut was from a punch.
