    M.Tyson once said Cus told him make two punches sound like one, Louis`s right hand instantly followed his jab, b-boom and he stopped guys with that combo did any fighters have a better 1-2 than Louis and which fighter had the best 1-2 in boxing history?

    Ali, Holmes, Hearns, Lewis, Wlad, 90's Foreman. All kinda elite level but different execution.

    Holmes. His follow up straight right was better and harder than Ali's.

    Ali`s 1-2 was pretty fast and sharp but pretty ineffective v Norton.

    Tyson was pretty easy to hit in that fight and Douglas got floored by the uppercut by constantly overcommitting with his jab, Holmes had much faster hands than Douglas.

    90`s Foreman`s hand speed was a lot slower than the other fighters you mention here.

    True, and his legs were even slower^^ But still one of the most heavy handed 1-2 and also pretty much effective...if you ask guys like Moorer, Cooney, Cooper. Holyfield stated that Foreman's Jab was pretty much the hardest punch he ever absorbed.
