  • It all sounds simple enough to me.

    The five top guys are over when it comes to bangin' and the lesser five are too tall to get through effectively when pressured from the ropes out. I'm not sure it works though, if all is good on the inside and the foot placement is solid enough to keep the aggressor from walking forward too fast while throwing big stuff and not whinin' like Corrie Sanders baby sister or something like that, eh?

    Also, on the best of nights, a guy like Lennox might not keep it together for 12 rounds if the chill got to him, or even better, if his corner was distracted by the bad intentions of the foe facing thir guy on that night in question. It's very simple, but can be ugly to watch if you're paying for it over and over again on HBO.

      Speakin' on the tall issue. Lennox' cautious style is what is his detriment in the mind of alot of fans. He was like 2 different fighters sometimes. Sometimes he responded favorably to the pressure and went to war in kind.

      Other times he just pawed with his jab and looked terrible. I think Lennox had the capabilities to defeat alot of guys, but his overcautios behavior in the first few rounds could be his undoing. I mean by the time he found his confidence to start imposing his will it could be over and done with.

                    I like that list a lot, maybe that's because your top 3 is the same as mine and the rest is not too different either.
