    Eubank when he put his punches together, very short flowing shots, bringing in body shots or/and uppercuts.

    He was like a threshing machine against Barkley. Lovely rolls in-between those uppercuts.

    Could box long very well also. Great to watch.

    SRR was a blend of artistry and homicide, same can be said of Ike Williams' combos. Napoles lived up to his nickname, so smooth..awesome timing and distance. Louis had amazing precision and devastation...Dempsey's fury against Willard was a hell storm. Marquez's timing of dropping in a left uppercut in his combinations are a thing of beauty in a boxing sense.

    Bang on.

    Robinson and Williams were at once stylish and ferocious.

    It's interesting. Non fans are often stopped in their tracks by well-constructed combos. Appreciation seeps out of the silence. Once the effects take hold of the victim they reaffirm their disgust, but for that one moment, boxing had them.

    Marquez would be a perfect candidate to help engage the casual fan - when they're not tanked. His career has been a rare blend of science and chaos.

    Throwing combination is a lost art.

    Shoulder rolling hinders the ability to reel off 3-4-5 shots.

    threw the most fluid, controlled, equally measure, up and down shot that I have seen.

    Watch his fights versus Taylor, Rosario, or Laporte. When Chavez gets started the other punches are right behind.

    , when he is clicking on all cyclinders can put together very nice punches. He threw a double left upper-cutt, duck, right hand in the first Margarito fight.

    used to be a joy to watch firing off shots once he got smoking.

    could put together some heavywork for his opponents.

    Those of some of the guys that other have not mentioned.

    I typed his name then took it out. I could not recall a fight that he was reeling them off. But now Morales I comes right to mind.
