    He did avenge his 2 only two losses in dramatic fashion. Although GSP has much more upside to his career than Lennox did after his 2nd redemption.

    Lennox made over 20 million to fight guys like Tyson and Holyfield. He had alot more upside in his career.

    I would call making 6 figures and making 8 figures apples and oranges too. Thanks for a good way to describe my post.

    I didn't make this post regarding the business side of their careers. I was comparing their accomplishments in the ring. I could give a shit about how much they made. Its an unfair comparison financially.

    Isn't it obvious? Lennox was a the tail end of his career when he avenged both losses and regained the title, GSP did so and is only 25. Id say he has plenty of time to achieve much more at this point in his career.

    No, he's mma's Terry Norris. Ridiculously talented, yet very vulnerable and beatable.
