    I'm gonna say its Abner Mares. Khan is up there to with combo punching even with the shaky chin. Who else would you guys list as top combo punchers.

    I was thinking him too, but I think he is a better counter puncher now. Still a top 5 combo puncher though.

    I don't rate khan in combo's.

    He is too rigid, poor shot selection.

    Manny is up there.

    Maybe not the best,but Kessler throws some of the best basic 1-2's in the game.

    And Santa Cruz can put his combos together beautifully too_One for the future of this list.

    When khan is firing off he has great combos, he just doesn't know how to stop button mashing and hold the back botton to to block.

    I agree 100%. But as of now I have to give it to Mares. He can switch from body to head seamlessly and with great accuracy.

    JMM throws counter combos. But they are combos, and they are brilliant.

    I love Santa Cruz's combos. They're all offense, but he does punch between the punches of his opponent well; far too often for it to be a coincidence.

    Pac was or still in the top.

    JMM

    Some credit to Broner. For such a young fighter his combos are smart and polished.

    Broners combos are kinda far between for him to be rated high IMHO. He's better with heavy counter shots and lead power shots.
