          lennox i assume,,,

          Yeah i think his biggest downfall was lack of concentration in smaller, stay busy fights like mccall and rahman,, I think he took them lightly, and hands down or low especially when bringing back his hands after a punch,, Mccall capitalized on that to perfection.

            Yup, complacency

              Dat paper thin skin, can't see anything else that is a particular weakness / flaw. Maybe being an Alcoholic or not taking training / some fights as seriously as he should have ?.

                he was before my time, so i dont know much about his personal life,, didnt realize he was a boozer..

                and yes his skin was very thin,, and people claim that is from alcohol abuse, they said that is why gatti bled so easily in the 90s,, not sure if its true or not but thats what they said

                  Alexis Arguello- foot speed

                  Floyd Mayweather- hand injuries, possibly selective to a fault with his punch output

                  Mike Tyson- vulnerable to uppercuts and frustration.

                  Felix Trinidad- footwork wasn't that good, suspect only to early knockdowns

                  Oscar De La Hoya- took him like 10 years to develop a good right hand. Stamina was okay at best. He finished strong against Ike because he did basically nothing in the previous 4-5 rounds

                  Thomas Hearns- average chin

                  Manny Pacquiao- doesn't cut off the ring too well, vulnerable to counters.
