Here's my list:

- Joe Louis - Best Ever Combo puncher. Hands Down!
- James Toney
- Roy Jones Jr
- Sugar Ray Robinson
- Prime Mike Tyson
- Cassuis Clay
- Mickey Walker
- Jake La Motta

- Mickey Walker

Interesting concept B.A.

I like your list. By "combination", do you consider perpetual motion guys like Harry Greb, Henry Armstrong and Aaron Pryor candidates for combination punchers?

More modern day, I always appreciated Mike McCallum's combos to the body.
Roberto Duran, Ray Leonard & Tommy Hearns deserve attention.

Back to some older guys, Benny Leonard, Kid Gavilan, Ike Williams & Sandy Saddler also come to mind.

Here's my list:

- Joe Louis - Best Ever Combo puncher. Hands Down!

roy

james toney


zab judah - his hand speed and ability to hit off any angle is un ****in believable and unmatched

ali

tyson - his three punch gut hook combo was devastating

ray robinson- no need to explain the goat

sugar ray leonard- sweetness

tommy hearns - pure power

floyd

im not familiar with alot of joes work so i didnt put him.

Here's my list:

- Joe Louis - Best Ever Combo puncher. Hands Down!
- James Toney
- Roy Jones Jr
- Sugar Ray Robinson
- Prime Mike Tyson
- Cassuis Clay
- Mickey Walker
- Jake La Motta
Ray Leonard should be at or near the top of that list. He was so versatile, innovative and quick with his combos. I'm pretty sure that I'd have Leonard above Louis as a matter of fact.

Some of Louis' best work:

Triple left hook

It's the ability of these two to not only generate speed but also a huge amount of power with short punches in combinations that puts them above the rest in my opinion.

I guess LHW champion and Joe Louis' title challenger Billy Conn should be mentioned, he brought the fight to Louis with fast combinations which had the champion on the defensive for 13 rounds.

Floyd Patterson could throw great combinations as well:

Ray Leonard

To my mind a combination puncher should be someone who can switch seamlessly from the body to the head and vice versa in a flurry of punches.Ali never really did that (the Cleveland Williams fight doesn't really demonstrate this).In the heavyweight division it is Joe Louis and Mike Tyson ,for me,who are the greatest combination punchers.

Yep, that's correct Champ. Legends you've mentioned were ferocious fighters who never stopped throwing them in lightning bunches and from every angle imaginable.

Some more that come to mind are:

- Tony Canzoneri
- Shane Mosley
- Barney Ross
- Meldrick Taylor - Fastest hands in Boxing history??? Either this guy or Floyd Patterson???

Ray Leonard should be at or near the top of that list. He was so versatile, innovative and quick with his combos. I'm pretty sure that I'd have Leonard above Louis as a matter of fact.

How could I forget Ray Leonard? This guy could do it all! Get on his toes and box, brawl to save the day, outstanding defence combined with excellent reflexes, crippling punching power, speed and a sturdy chin. Punches in bunches would come at you at 100 miles an hour.

the greatest combo puncher was Suger RAY Robinson & what about Joe Louis.

The rest there i would pick as well great fighters

Mentioned these guys in the first post.

When talking about the greatest combonation punchers Im not sure I would have guys like Pryor and Armstrong near the the top. Those type of fighters are more or less (more) unrelenting swarmers. In my opinion the great combonation punchers threw a series of punches to open up an equally or more vulnerable area on his opponent. This is just my opinion, but I don't think non stop punching constitutes great combonation punching.

Ray Leonard
i saw louis hit a man twice his size and spin him around in a 360 degree circle im done. ive never seen nothing like that. thats why i continue to say louis >>ali by miles.

Agreed! Nobody did it like Louis. You can throw Arguello in there too, and a host of others.

I think Ray Leonard should be on that list as well.

Definitely have to throw Meldrick Taylor in there. High volume, blazing fast combination punching which really overwhelmed some of his opponents early in his career.

Some of the best have been already mentioned. I like Terry Norris. Salvador Sanchez was nice too. Shane Mosley comes to mind. But the most ferocious has to be Mike Tyson.

Pryor should be there as well, :thumbup:.

Kelly Pavlik.

Only this weekend I saw an interview with Gary Lockett who was his mandatory opponent before he fought B-Hop. Lockett literally said something along the lines of "Everyone throws combinations but usually after an opening jab." "Pavlik throws a combination, then a combination then a combination, i've never known anything like it."

At heavyweight its got to be Floyd Patterson.

That's right! Even the way Pavlik KOd Taylor and Miranda with great combos.
