    Which of our favorite Louise's (Lewises) was the superior combination puncher? I ask because Lennox looked like a pretty solid combination puncher. And I'm not talking about just power. But technique and fluidity as well.

    This. No comparison and I like Lennox Lewis and happen to think he's one of the most talented Big men to ever lace up gloves, but nobody could put combinations together like Joe Louis.

    I guess this was put out there to be creative since it is hard to cut new ground but there is no comparison ..

    Joe Louis...no question.....watch him in his prime...his feet are almost always in position to throw his brutal combinations...a perfect puncher!!!

    Louis no doubt probably the best combination puncher at heavyweight.
