    You are now morally obligated to write that book. I will set up a connection with Butterbean's family and we can get some interviews done in the near future

    Tommy Hearns.

    His entire fight with Roberto Duran was one long deadly combination!

    Jose Napoles and Salvador Sanchez deserves a mention. Threw blistering combinations with mean intent.

    Chocolatito and Too Sharp were absolute monsters when they let em rip too. Not the top boys mind you, but very very fluid and fast.

    Great call on those two. They were considered the top guys in their division at the time. Both have to be the best combination punchers in the lower weight division.
