    henry armstrong needs a mention. other than the non stop nature of his punches, they were all short, varied and carried beef

    Id say James Toney (watch his fight with Iran Barkley for a perfect example, I think)
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Mike Tyson

    Other notables- Rocky Marciano
    Sonny Liston
    Jerry Quarry
    Antonio Margarito (crazy uppercuts from inside)

    It would be criminal not to say it so, yeah I think Money May needs to be somewhere on this list. If not one of the greatest, surely one of the most underrated.

    Mayweather best example of fighting in the pocket would be against Phillip N'dou. But Ndo'u was a decent boxer not a great one of the likes that Chavez and Marciano faced. But I admit he has nice combinations inside, but its a risky place to be in so he rarely does it.
