    The chin thing is overrated. As I recall, he beat everyone he ever fought.

    In the ESPN magazine back in '04 I believe, Tommy Morrison dished on pretty much the entire heavyweight division saying that you pretty much needed to juice as everyone in the division was using. He goes more in depth but it has been some time since I read the article. Morrison pulls no punches including admitting that he himself took the stuff just to be able to compete with the rest.

    :hi:

    Look mate, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Lennox juiced up - we're all pretty certain a good number of heavyweights were (still are) on the HGH and Roids etc etc. It's just that I'm not sold on the fact that Lewis is one of them.

    Take into account though, that Morrison used that frame of mind to justify using them. "I used them, but they also did!" is the first thing a steroid user says. After "i used them to recover from an injury" or "someone put them in my drink!" didn't work, of course. I'm not saying it's not happening, but i would hardly consider the fact that Morrison said so proves that everyone's on them. Remember what the first thing was Evan Fields said after he was caught? "I'm not using them, but that guy Tyson, rumor has it he did!".

    The thing is, is that, Tyson was at his most devastating when he was least bulked up.

    Exactly. Say everyone else is and make yourself look a bit better.
