Lennox also set up his punches more than anyone else I have seen in the HW division.
To give comparison- Riddick Bowe was puncher-boxer. More like a slugger-boxer. Riddick boxed when after he found out he couldn't blast away guys at the top of the division.
Larry Holmes was a boxer-hitter. Holmes wasn't a big puncher, he just hit you repeatedly after he put you in position.
Holyfield was a counter puncher-boxer. Evander was a crap boxer. But he had fast hands and countered you with heavy hands. This is why Evander couldn't win against Lennox- Lennox gave him nothing hit as Lennox was an excellently skilled boxer. And, when Holyfield tried to turn it up, when he could, he got hit and hit hard- so, it eased his attack.
