    Jones Jr is a fantastic combination puncher, especially at his 168-75 peak, tripling up on hooks, throwing upstairs and downstairs with regularity.

    Combination punching is not a style or genre of fighter. It is a skillset and even fighters who do not rely on them can be excellent in their use.

    Thats true Oscar in his prime was a great finisher i rank him clearly ahead of Mosley in that category.

    Past 10 years? In no particular order, I'd probably go with Guzman (prime), Marquez, Pacquiao, Barrera and Margarito (slow, but the angles...). Vazquez deserves a shout as well.

    I'm sad that he doesn't throw them with the same efficacy he used to. With steward he's been boxing much more and i don't think that style has ever really exploited his strengths.

    roy used to throw 7 to 9 power punch combinations without fear of retaliation and while hopping

    any one listing floyd is obviously talking about his tenure at the lower weights.. get familiar

    I see jones on everyones list.

    this is from the past 10 years right? Jones hasn't looked good in a long ass time so I don't think he counts
