    I'm getting a Big-Mac attack myself, but in parting may I simply say I am in awe of Tyson's cyclonic combo on the durable, determined Thomas for a 10-count.

    I'll have to re-check the tape, but my recollection is that Arguello put Mancini down with a right uppercut to the heart, a left hook, and a right cross. Beautiful.

    The 3 uppercut combo by George Foreman that put Ken Norton out to pasture.

    Any combinations by Oscar De La Hoya. While some others mentioned Duran earlier, IMO he's a few notches below De La Hoya when it comes to combinations thrown with variety.

    I think Duran's combos were far superior to Oscar's, labeit very different in approach.Oscar doesn't often slip and counter in combination and was\is sometimes too much of a shoeshiner, rarely turning his right hand over in extended combination.

    i prefer Mosley over Oscar for combos.More comprable in style imo.

    Duran aint close to De La Hoya when it comes to combinations. To me it's as obvious as Duran being a better inside fighter than De La Hoya. Variety combined with speed and triggering them off in 3's and 4's to the body and head, De La Hoya by the length of the States from coast to coast.

    Mosley was more of a flurrier than a pin-point accurate combination puncher like De La Hoya.

    You just need to watch De La Hoya-Trinidad. I could pick three or four combinations out of that one fight that make Duran's combinations look pale in comparison.

    Tony Zale's right hand to the body/left hook to the chin that he used a countless number of times, but especially effective against Graziano.
