    Well, would have to put Calzaghe ahead of Jones.. Joe's bread and butter was combo punching, and if you look at the result of the two, you can see who had the higher win % and KO%

    Louis had some beautiful free flowing subtle and devastating combinations at heavy. Tyson, after intense training and only for a short time, had good combinations. But when you see him compared to a natural combination puncher like Evander (who could combination punch in his sleep) you could see who was the "made" combination puncher and who was the natural combination puncher. Even at his best, Tyson was doing those number combinations Rooney would yell into his ear. They disappeared after a few rounds if they didn't result in a ko and were pretty much a thing of the past after Tyson was about 23 years old.
