    It's an epic combination. :) You have good taste, Godfather.

    Orlando Canizales deserves mention in this thread.

    Fenech is an interesting call.His excellent combination punching tends to get overlooked.

    exactly which is why sublime isnt really the word to use to describe anything from the pac-clottey fight :lol:

    My personal:

    Ray Robinson
    Louis
    Patterson
    Tyson
    Armstrong(I love how he slips and parries and just keeps throwing, not the most accurate combination puncher but unstoppable)

    jones is always a good shout, sometimes he throws some ridiculous bunches o' punches.

    I wouldn't feel comfortable putting him on a list without footage but I suspect Greb would easily make the top-5 even if his favorite combo was jab, hook, headbutt.

    if punch, clinch, eye gouge, clinch, break clinch, clinch, break clinch, elbow is classed as an 8 punch combo, then i dont see why you wouldnt feel comfortable putting him on the list.

    Mike Tyson - Bruno II he lands some great body/head shots and brutally KO's Bruno with a 5 punch body/head combo.
