    I think so. A young Floyd, was consistently a great combination puncher, but that was really only at super featherweight. He's still throws great combos when he does decide to put them together, but they aren't as frequent or flowing.
    Manny has always been a great combination puncher, but he mostly headhunts and his punch variety isn't as varied as JMM. To me, Marquez is the best at throwing combos since RJJ.

    I'd probably agree.

    I think the fact Mayweather can almost land his crisp, single, piston-like right-hand at will probably means he doesn't throw too many combos. JMM is a terrific combination puncher though. Pac is very good too, but perhaps not as precise.

    Either between him or Pacquaio. I'd say Marquez is more precise, but he's also positions himself to be more open to counters because he has to set his feet.

    Pacquaio can throw combos on the move.

    I agree. Floyd doesn't string punches together much these days. Manny does but, he misses a lot more than Marquez and doesn't vary his punches as much.

    I'd say he is. Floyd, as others have indicated used to be more of a combination puncher, but that's hasn't been his game for a long time now. Pacquiao puts them together nicely at weird angles, but his combinations are not as effective because he headhunts too much and he's more focused with just overwhelming the opponent with the speed of his shots rather than setting the combination up. JMM's combination punching is technical and creative to boot.

    Pacquiao is one of the best combination punchers i've seen and he has done it against Top guys, Marquez couldn't even land combo's on Bradley and Pacquiao was teeing off on him.
