What fighter does the best combinations in your book?

[Master]

Tyson left hook to body and head with an uppercut for good measure as he finished Bruno on the ropes.

Roy Jones left hook and right hand follow through with some uppercuts as he finished Paz.

[Ron Swanson]

Interesting video. I have always defined combinations differently. Although they did combine punches. Just, to me if you pause to assess it is not a combination. And then many I would call putting punches together, punches in bunches or flurries.

To me a combination is punches that are designed to work with each other. Not just right-left-right-left. But that's boxing, so many different ways to speak of it. By what I call a combination only about 5 of those were. #17, LL, Tyson, can't remember which others.

Going today Linares and Spence among a few. The gears that Spence puts on a double jab then turns it over to hook either hand is all one brisk motion when done right. Combos indeed have categories. The ones a fighter is known for that are incorporated throughout. Or the finisher type of reading the opening available right away and putting in numbers 1,2,3. Trained punches taped together. And some flurry combos that are more about punch and get out or just about blinding a guy for a temp reprieve. There is something beautiful about any combination ending with the uppercut. It's such a random direction punch that can leave you in a extremely vulnerable position for a topple or for follow up.

Santa Cruz has it down. I love when hand speed generates combos. THz uppercut needs to be thrown close in and with no tell-tale dip A you say,its a dangerous punch to throw.Bu I too love combo fighters

Anything ggg does. That punch that starts up and comes down like a sledgehammer is a beauty. Never seen it thrown like that. I remember that Guerrero berto fight where berto couldn't open his eyes during the post fight interview and was saying Guerrero didn't touch him. Ghost was throwing nice combos in that fight. That was the toe to toe fight where ghost landed those nasty upper cuts. Yes, a good combo is impressive and Santa Cruz with that speed and number of punches he can throw is amazing. Dam boxing is great

Anything more than a 3 or 4 punch combination is just silly.

Anything more than a 3 or 4 punch combination is just silly.

Not if they connect.

After 4 connected the fighter should be knocked the fuck out already. Or at least knocked down.

Some of my favorite combination punchers:
1. Prime Oscar threw beautiful combos. He would hammer with the jab and throw multi-punch combos when the opportunity presented itself.
2. Julio Ceasar Chavez threw the most accurate and heavy combos I've seen. He didn't have that lightning bolt power like tommy Hearns or that single explosion like Tyson, but he had that heavy handed punch that just broke you down.
3. Meldrick Taylor is the only guy I've seen who had faster hands than Roy (couldn't punch as hard though.
4. Floyd Mayweather was a great combo puncher fighting 140 pounds and lower. He switched to pot shots and movement with larger fighters, but blitzed Chico, Gatti, Hatton, NDou...etc., with combos.
5. Loma throws some great combos today. He does everything textbook in that ring.

I always enjoyed Tapia when he was throwing in combination.

[GaMo]

Ray Leonard, Roy Jones, Shane Mosley and Oscar De La Hoya
I think Oscar had the best combinations when he threw them
The one he caught Campas with in the first round was special.

Well obviously you are not from the Chwistopher Livingstone Eubank school of pugilistic science.
His son Junior regularly throws "60 and 70 punch combinations in training just for the funk of it!" 😂😂😂
