    In a fight right? Cuz you might as well judge the combinations hitting a bag since de la Hoya was a dead man

      dela hoya was jus overwhelmed by pac. there's a lot of factors affecting the beaten fighters.. not just because of being drained.. there are lots of pac's opponent that can't punch back since they we're overwhelmed by speed, combinations and angles.. see how rios said in an interview he was like fighting the whole pacquiao camp for example. even margarito becomes punching bag with the combination to the head and the body.

        That moment was the highlight of his career. Didn't look the same ever since.

          Wrong. He could hardly even throw single punches against Lopez for 7 rounds. Loma isn't all that.

            He almost floats from side to side and uses great angles.

            Was great to see him turn back the clock somewhat against Yafai and beat him up.

            He’s a great fighter Gonzalez I’m a big fan.
            Yeah great point, he’s constantly shifting his feet to create angles/openings. He’s my favourite active fighter.

            I had a big bet on him against Yafai. Paul Butler had said to me years ago Yafai doesn’t like it when someone puts it on him and forces him to work, and I’d seen Gonzalez up close on the Canelo-GGG 2 undercard and felt he still had it. I didn’t think he’d win as easily as he did though. He dominated that fight.

              Current boxers? Linares by far. His combinations are smooth fluid and creative. Despite all of his deficiencies hes always been one of the best combination punchers I've ever seen. Retired? Marquez was a beast and with underrated power

                Not saying he is anywhere close to the best but he does stand out to me because he is a heavyweight.

                Andy Ruiz is an excellent combination puncher if you make the mistake of fighting him in his range. He throws combinations like a lighter fighter

                  Nope de la Hoya weighed 145 on fight night. The rest is history

                    yeah the rest is history and that has nothing to do with pac's combo. hope you get it.
