Who is the best combination puncher in history

[BKM-]

Evander deserves some love here. When he was young and at his quickest, he would bounce on his toes while unleashing hooks and uppercuts from many angles, almost never ending untill the opponent dropped.

But he could also plant his feet and throw set combo's with a lot more power, like the ones that destroyed Moorer in the rematch.

Pacquiao at his best is difficult to beat in that department.

Just to be classified as a weirdo: the Andrew Golota of the first Riddìck Bowe fight was a hell of a combination-throwing heavyweight. The only problem was that large chunks of those combinations ended on Bowe's jèwels.

I actually thought about mentioning Golota but I'm glad someone did. Before the car accident that broke his arm, he had an extremely gifted left hand. He would double or even triple up on the jab come through with a vicious combo of straight punches, it was like a machine.

To this day I regard Golota as probably the worst case of wasted potential in the history of modern heavyweights. He had all the required tools, just not the mind.

- - Look at Fat Andys busted mug looking like it just went through a meat grinder in the rematch. AJ wasn't fit to fight in his American debut that turned out to be a farce when a half dozen top rated heavies turned down career purses to fight him.

Yeah he was a real terror! If you were an MMA fighter, or a boxer on the level of the Nordic nightmare. Go back to school kid... Little Suzy is registered and there is one more spot, better put those big boy diapers on and get in class, you need it...

One of.....

[Kid Cauliflower]

The one with the best results.

As Willie already said, All boxers throw combinations unless one is all they can throw. They don't retreat and say, "Okay, I landed my one."

The question is too big, but I will try.

Who hit opponents a bunch of times in rapid succession and got the best results?

Cassius Clay, later known as M. Ali--who did not throw combinations quite as well. He was not even a hard puncher, but knocked a lot of fighters out. 66% of his wins. Respectable even for a hard puncher. Other non-punchers don't achieve that. When the opening came, he was very serious--4 or 5 punches straight into the mug if he could get them, like he did with Williams..

Consider: he was a non-puncher who KOd more fighters than other non-punchers. He didn't have a big single punch to KO or seriously wound opponents. He had to throw combinations for that job. So he did that more than most. I would say he got the best results from his combinations, and beat more fighters on the top 20 ATG list than any HW champion so far.

Some guys, like Armstrong, threw punches all the time so everything is a combination. But those are swarmers. They knock out more opponents than non-punchers too. Swarmers often do not have a killer punch. They win through attrition and chin.

Robinson is a good pick
