    Mike was a better combo puncher than Pov.

    Maybe Anthony Joshua? No special effects, but great technique, and good power and speed (especially for his size).

    Don't think he was the best since Tyson, but I think Lamon Brewster was underrated combination puncher.

    This.
    I would actually argue Evander was a better combination puncher than Mike in the fact his combinations were more varied and in the fact he didn’t stop throwing them for the whole fight.

    Bowe was a good combination puncher for such a big man too.

    Cheers All.

    Mike was better all round of course but a prime Pov is well capable of getting to him in a one off fight. Anything can happen in a heavyweight fight.

    Yes, some of Mike`s world title performances were better than others and he was improving.
