Fighters with great timing.

[Bill Paxtom]

Cassius Clay

He came along when Sonny Liston wanted to get out of boxing and 'cash in'.

He came along when Floyd Patterson was nursing a 'bad back' and trying recover from
back-to-back 1st-Round Knockouts to Sonny Liston.

Having excellent management with tons of money helped as well.

[Master]

Having innate talent helped the most.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Carlos Monzon was methodical and thunderous, grinding down opponents with precision punching. He appears one dimensional, one paced, but he had extraordinary ring craftsmanship, timing and a paralyzing right hand. He broke fighters down who couldn't counter him enough to hurt him.

[SlimTrae]

Salvador Sanchez, Niccolino Loche

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Vitali Klitschko is underrated for his timing. Actually reminds me of Monzon.

Says the guy that misquotes Larry Holmes. The biggest opportunist is heavyweight boxing history. Feeding off the table scraps of Ali's table.

Salvador Sanchez, Niccolino Loche

Solid duo.

Today Roman Gonzalez.

[Manos de Piedra]

From current fighters Mayweather and Crawford come to mind.

[beenKOed]

Byrd, Toney, Calzaghe, Hopkins, heck all the champions had good timing.

[tysonesque]

Tyson in his heyday had superb timing.

It's the one thing he immediately lost after Rooney departed. People lament the demise of his defence, but his timing was the first thing to go and he never got it back.

[Master]

Timing and being in condition are both sides of the same coin for me. The better condition you are, the more you practice the better timing you have. Tyson did not train like he needed to the level to still be a champion.

Miguel Cotto had phenomenal timing. Watch his fight vs a still dangerous and faster Mosely to see how timing can offset superior speed.

Cotto has pin point precision in his punches as well.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

That fight upset me because I wanted Mosley to win so badly but learned that Cotto was not just a brawler and had sneaky punches. He's so damn sneaky with his punches.

Cotto was favourite to win that fight but Shane fought him to a close fight.
