    Don’t think the op is saying in any weight class I presume he is just talking about heavyweights.

    To compare his combination punching to Lomas would be unfair and would be like saying Loma had no power compared to Joshua.

    Even in the higher weight classes he's not a great combination puncher. Look how Usyk is putting together his combinations. That's combination punching Loma-esque just in the big boy divsion. He's throwing punches, moving his feet and throwing more punches from different angles. That's combination punching. Reacting to the opponent, changing the angles and throwing more. AJ is just a flat footed bodybuilder who has tremendous power and great athleticism. If you think AJ is comparable to Mike Tyson in combination punching you must be blind or just an AJ fanboy. Sorry. That's insane. Tyson Fury is a better combination puncher too compared to Joshua. Joe Joyce as well. Gassiev. Kossobutskiy. Jalovov. Those guys are combination puncher. They throw fluid punches, move, throw more punches from different angles. Joshua isn't doing that. Watch those guys and watch an AJ fight. And call AJ a better combination puncher. You must be kidding me. Even a fat version of Ruiz Jr who is planting his feet and throwing hooks is a better combination puncher than Joshua. GTFOH with that combination puncher crap. He's not. People who claim that are don't know what combination punching actually is.

    Moorer was a better combo puncher than AJ, he`s average at best.

    I was just rewatching Morrison's highlights. Compared to Joshua Morrison is not a combo puncher, but a monster combo puncher!
    My idea is many cant distinguish watching a video how much hard a fighter can hit with a single punch or a combo and these are the results for some:

    Joshua combo puncher > Morrison, Lewis and Holyfield. **** !

    AJ isn't even the best combination puncher today, let alone the best since Iron Mike.

    I'm still waiting for someone to post video of AJ landing a 3 punch combo.

    You are hitting all time low with your AJ hate and being bias towards your wet dream fat Tyson Fury.

    Pretty much most of his KO was coming from Combos earlier in his career. He TKO Kltischko with Combos as well. Same for Povetkin and Pulev.

    Also big laugh on you saying AJ can't fight on the inside, just MUHAHAHHAHAH. He is probably the most dangerous fighter in close range since Mike Tyson.
    His hooks and uppercut in the inside are absolutely vicious. You pray on all the saints that your fat hero stay retired, cause if he dare to step the ring against AJ he will be brutally KO and the myth about him and his H2H going to be shattered.

    You made my day. Clean 3 punch combo's that are well setup not him flailing on bums.

    Highlighting again why Usyk is going to blatter this bodybuilder bum

    He's trash on the inside. Doesn't know how to position himself or clinch. Usyk was hustling him up close, it was embarrassing.

    He's a big stiff idiot
    A big bum dosser
