    Lennox is one of the few Heavys I'd pick against Holmes. Longer, stronger,
    more power. Larry's quicker and has the better jaw though. Better
    jab too, but Lennox would take it away

    i see holmes coming out dancing on his toes sticking and moving for a round or two before lennox just starts mugging him.lennox takes over after a few rounds and knocks holmes out in the 9th round.

    50/50 fight. I could see Lennox knocking him out, but than again I could see Holmes outbox him to a SD/Narrow UD.

    Every time I see these Lewis threads i think "why now?"

    Nobody regarded him as any good when he was fighting.

    Holmes to win

    this is true

    i think there were me and a couple other fans on another forum.it was a weekly battle.they pretty much talked about lennox like the wlad haters talk about wlad.almost exactly.same trainer so ..jab grab etc. there styles were seen as boring.

    whatever

    You can say the same about Holmes, which is why Holmes was so bitter sometimes, cause he didn't think he was getting the respect he felt he deserved. (he was right of course), but after Ali no one was going to be filling those shoes.
