    I think he’s one of the best combination punchers today IMO. His punches flows like water whenever he unleashes them in flurries.

    Bit too much of an arm puncher. Never sets his feet. Always resets and comes from the outside. If he slipped a little or held his feet to setup some combinations then it would be impressive...but how much can you ask of someone? Talk about nit picking.

    Canelo fight is good example, should have found a way to get on top of the ginger midget more when he was crying on the ropes but played it safe instead.

    He's a very good combination puncher no doubt, but I don't think he's better than Loma at putting punches together in sequence.

    Naoya Inoue.

    Beautiful punch selection — creativity, sequencing, and accuracy.

    Check out that gorgeus finish!

    Nah, he resets often and doesn't land flush consecutively - he's more like a 1 or 1-2 Monster with an easy finish than one delivering an uninterrupted sequence of technically perfect 6-8 shots, which is a trademark of ppl. lacking KO power. I mean thx God he's not that good, with power comes great responsibility et al.

    Bivol is good at landing straight combinations. Simple but efficient.

    Bivol is a weird combination puncher. He use a lot of combinations on counters, which is fairly unique.

    Inoue, Usyk (against guys his size), Crawford, Beterbiev, Lomachenko & Gonzalez are all good combination punchers.

    Perhaps the greatest of all time, right up there with Kovalev, Loma and Golovkin. And Povetkin.
