    Name some boxers in their era who was known to have the best jab, cross and hook. The best of those three punches from a single boxer, P4P.

    I rephrased the question to mean the best of those three punches for a single boxer.

    You could make a case for Wlad.

    p4p also. I think at one point Wlad could've had the best jab and cross but he didn't use the hook enough to show case it. I think Cotto had a better hook. I feel it's very difficult to showcase all three punches all the time against specialist, but there maybe some that truly was a triple crown winner.

    Yeah, I agree but I think you can make an argument, he scored some spectacular KO's with that weapon.

    Wlad only has three punches, so it's no surprise he's very effective at all three of them.

    Edit: Misword

    Among active boxers, easily Wlad. He can't do an uppercut, but he's the best at those three punches.

    My impression of Wlad was the jab jab cross, but after going to boxrec I do recall his left hook KO's over Peters and Chambers. Maybe your right.

    Wlad, Hearns, Toney, Hagler, Tito,

    Some others were almost there but not quite.
    Oscar's jab and hook were great but the right cross wasn't that great.
    Quartey had a great jab and cross, but no hook whatsoever

    not an elite but Kendall Holt, had all three jab, cross and hook. Has starched people with all 3.
