    I watched everyone of those fights live or shortly after they happened. He wasnt just inconsistent, he had terrible footwork and balance. He got by on pure size and athletic ability until he got with Manny. Gary Mason fought and beat a whos who of journeyman and got beat when he fought someone who wasnt there to be an oponent. Tony Tucker was well past his prime at 35 and not much of a threat to anyone remotely close to the elite at the time. Razor Ruddock by the time he fought Lennox was a one trick pony who had all but given up using any kind of tactical game plan, he just tried to land that crazy hook/uppercut evey chance he could. Lennox was flawed at that point and he got exposed by a sparring partner.

    Yes that version of Lennox could beat alot of the guys now but he would eventually run into someone like Ortiz who would put his lights out. With Manny he was infinitely better...fella.
