Over the last 10 years I would say it's definitely Juan Manuel Marquez.
For the guy who said Leonard and Napoles are better combination punchers than Marquez, what he's saying it's not absurd at all. Both Napoles and Leonard are two of the greatest combination punchers ever, as is Marquez.
Surprised there's no mention of Alexis Arguello then again this is NSB
Carlos Monzon isn't up there in terms of all time great combination punching but he's very underrated in that regard IMO. His second fight with Brisco is an absolute display of combination punching. The accuracy is genuinely incredible. Check it out if you have time.
So you are knocking Marquez for not even being able to win against Floyd? You seriously know styles make fights right, you basically answered it with Counter Puncher, when two counter punchers get in the ring its a horrible style match up, JMM lost that fight because he fought out of his comfort zone, JMM is not a complete fighter, I never said he was, others overrate him I don't. He is best known for giving Pacquiao hell and knocking him out.
He doesn't have great defense at all, doesn't know how to clinch or double guard block, he is what he is a matador counter puncher.
JMM was forced to come forward against Floyd and that is why he was at a disadvantage because Floyd will stink the joint out, Floyd knows if he pressed Marquez he would get lit up with counters so he forced JMM to come to him.
JMM does so well against Manny because Manny comes forward and it plays into JMM's back step counter punch game.
Please stop already. I am a Ray leonard fan but your fanaticism is extreme.
Ray is one of the greatest.
Sorry to burst your bubble kid, but Marquez wasn't going foward and leading the whole fight. He backed up quite a bit and his great counters you like to brag about hit nothing but air for the most part. I don't like Mayweather at all. But he did a lot of the leading and kicked Marquez ass in every area of the game. Tell me where Marquez is doing all the chasing because I don't see it.
