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

    The rest there i would pick as well great fighters

        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.

          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
          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.

            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.

                  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."
