    4 superb picks, especially Charles, love his jab - left hook.

    But Arguello is an interesting one, I never thought he was a superb combination puncher as every shot he threw was basically a single shot, that was strung together in a sequence rather than, as I think a combo is defined, as all one movement.

    How has Ike Williams only been mentioned twice so far? Look at the last 30 seconds or so of this - against Beau Jack, no less. Ouch.

    yeah, Ike seemed like he could keep stringing together those punches endlessly. love how every punch thrown is the same quality as the last. great technique and kind of joe louis type of balance.

    The "Real Deal" Evander Holyfield

    ......and as a side note, I have no doubt in my mind that George Foreman on that night he gave an account of himself vs Holyfield, knocks out any version of Mike Tyson.

    Agreed, Old Foreman with a Parrot on his Shoulder was an epic composite puncher.

    :yikes

    What the hell is going on in this forum these days.

    This thread has got to the 4th page without anyone mentioning Wilfredo Gomez? :huh

    Bizarre.

    My other four would be:

    Pernell Whitaker (both McGirt fights)
    Roberto Duran (most 70s fights)
    Ray Robinson (obviously)
    Julio Cesar Chavez (beautiful mix between body and head)
