    roy jones and mike tyson are definitely one of the best combination punches. and i would say leanord at 147 was a good combination puncher

    All time you would have to say Taylor and when he really wanted to just look at Ray Leonards combinations some of those where unbelievable but the question in this is what do you look for in a combination? speed? power? mixture of both accuracy?

    your thoughts?

    Meldrick is probably the fastest Ive seen but in terms of variation, placement and timing I don't think he is quite up there with the best.

    As a big fan of both and actually maybe even slightly more of a Morales fan. No just no.
    JMM is the best combination puncher i have ever seen. His placement/accuracy/speed/power in them is the best.

    No one beats JMM in his combinations. the variety of the punches is crazy too.
