    Sure this has been done before...but I have been watching a lot of videos lately and I'm trying to improve so I was wondering who were some of the best combination-punching boxers. Some that come to mind are Barrera, de la Hoya, Chavez mixed well to the body and head, JMM, Joe Louis, Ray Leonard has flashy combinations but didn't sit down on a lot of his combination shots (Meldrick Taylor was sort of the same), etc. Just looking for crisp and effective combination punchers that I can study. I really like old school fighters so feel free to name them as well.

    Thought SRR would jump to mind first here. His combos weren't eye-catching flurries; EVERY PUNCH was lethal.

    Robinson, Louis, Tyson, Marquez, Jones Jr, Chavez

    Pacquaio doesn't throw combos he flurries, don't think Pryor is much of a combo guy
