Not sure if there's been a thread like this but what are the best combinations you've ever seen. Feel free to post! I'll start: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQfc58XeQXQ&feature=PlayList&p=264B6A2BFA57C83B&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=66[/ame] from 1:24-2:00 there's some beauties [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=porsK2f9emo[/ame] from 2:40-3:00. Taylor's career is a testimony to combination punching. Even though he didn't sit down on is punches enough, his speed and variety is dazzling.

Joe Louis' combination punching hasn't been suppassed by anyone at heavyweight - there's some good one's in this: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91SNCeMgPyM[/ame] Love the bit at about 3:13 where he strings together 3 or 4 shot's in quick succession each setting up the next - no real place to hide from any of them for poor Buddy Baer
great find. damn louis, his punches were so fluid it's hard to imagine anyone put punches together so seamlessly
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5zkE4BkMgg[/ame] 1:25 His brother got to taste the power of Louis's combinations too.
that should have been a brawl between, arguably, the two hardest punching heavyweights of all time. instead, louis beat the hell out of poor baer
Robby was OK too haha - check out the bit in the eleventh round when Bob goes WOOOOW!!!! - I'm not sure whether that's a combination combined with a combination - how Jake stood up to that is just beyond me??? [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e991-NLbUsA[/ame]

Here's one just for my own benefit - because I know I'll get tortured for this one - one of may favourite finishes ever in any fight - and I think a great combinations of shots for the first knockdown at 1:27 and a clinical head-to-body-back-to-head combination at the 1:48ish mark to finish it - I know there'll be a lot who think I'm just being biased (and maybe I am) but i think they're great shots strung together by a guy most wouldn't even think of when thinking real combinations [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb71T96muxs[/ame]
