    Who are some of your favourite combination punchers? Whether it's for their snap, volume or creativity. Feel free to specify.

    Jose Napoles' combos have always stood out for me; beautiful to observe, awful to catch.

    Juan Manual Marquez is very good today.

    Napoles, Tyson, Louis, Chavez, Duran, Robinson... kinda of a who's who of the best fighters... go figure.

    Today, in this era of potshotters, GGG and Povetkin kinda stand out.

    Napoles is fun to watch, not the least of which is his relative antipathy for throwing the right hand. He actually throws it quite infrequently. Such an artist with the left he was.

    Joe Louis for sure, Alexis Arguello is another standout, and I also love watching Sanchez rattle off the punches. The flurry that finished Lopez in their second fight was poetry.

    Louis, Tyson, SRR, SRL, JMM, Duran, Toney, RJJ, Ali, Arguello, Chavez, Pacquiao.

    Pacquiao used to be too sloppy for my liking but I think he's improved on that. I like the way he uses unusual combos to get the angles and openings on his opponent.

    Meldrick Taylor certainly had his moments

    Jerry Quarry when he had someone hurt and opened up on them...

    John Conteh

    Oscar De La Hoya

    I liked the way Duran put punches together. Offence and defense combined. Barckley kd for example.

    SRL also.
