    LOK told me that when he was sparring, it was mostly the taller kids with long arms that hit him the hardest. Just saying.

    Your style is what encourages you or discourages you from stepping in and landing the big one.

    Now, I am not saying that Sven Ottke preferred to box, but was a real killer.

    It only applies within a certain band.

    Lewis, as we know, tended towards caution. He could go the distance and was a reserved character.

    Tyson, on the other hand, was short of patience, and needed to keep working for the 12. Lewis could lean back, step back to avoid punishment.

    For Tyson, going 12 involved doing more bending and twisting than a Russian gymnast.

    So he preferred to get it over with.

    Doesn't mean he really hit harder.
