    Lol, I'm pretty sure Lennox never fought a southpaw so this checks out.

      Good point. I've seen Mayweather and Hopkins both step inside the lead foot purposely and have success. There's definitely other variables.

        If you haven't fought you don't know what it's like to be in there with top level fighters. MANY boxers use their jab exceptionally. MANY boxers shadowbox all the time. You must be fooling around in an MMA gym. Joshua's performance was as good as he could give. Usyk is just that damn good.
        If Joshua's performance was all that he could have given then he isn't very good. He's had at least 4+ months to know he would be fighting a talented southpaw. That performance was not that of a seasoned heavyweight champion.

          It's funny how southpaws have suddenly become these epic and amazing fighters however when Wilder beat a highly talented one, twice, it didn't count for ****.

          People's lack of objectivity amuses me.

              You're saying all this good **** but for all I know you had Joshua taking him out in the later rounds. I'm sick of people spouting off all this bull**** when they were the same people before the fight saying Usyk didnt stand a chance.

                ... You think I had Joshua? I had Usyk winning by a mile... I even publicly predicted it and even started an excuse thread on here.
