    I no i've seen threads asking about who the fastest puncher and hardest puncher but i don't think i've ever seen one asking who do you believe is the best overrall puncher taking in the combination of Speed, Power, Accuracy and timing. Most of the time a boxer will excell in one area but fail in another, such as Meldrick Taylor with blinding speed but didn't have devestating power

    #1 RJJ had it all
    #2 SRR little slower than Roy but had everything else
    #3 Hearns touch slower had everything else
    #4 Ali lacked a little power had everything else
    #5 Tyson got wild every now and then
    #6 SRL lacked some power

    Notables: Pac, Zab, Pep, Taylor

    I don't got a problem with RJJ....

    But how about an honorable mention to Mike Tyson? I think his speed for his body size and his power and accuracy was absurd.:lol:

    Yup such amazing technique and timing and bulldozer like power. Plus he had some decent speed too and put combos together and finished fighters brutally. I consider him to be no worse then 5th all time punchers. Can make a good case for Tyson,Louis,Robinson,Leonard,Hearns.

    Ricardo Lopez could also be included in this.

    But i agree Roy Jones at 168 is the greatest all around puncher ever.
