    Knockouts due to speed combinations are my favorite therefore I enjoyed watching Meldrick Taylor before his loss to Chavez. Any other boxers come to mind?

    A young Tyson used to rip three or four body punches in about two seconds, then throw either a monster right or left hook to do serious damage as they were preoccupied with the body shots. Heard them live it was unbelievable.

    Sugar Ray Leonard was the first one to come to my head, he was absolutely blistering and put all of weight in each punch.

    Louis, Robinson, Tyson and Holyfield are all obviously great at it.

    Juan Manuel Marquez always seemed like a natural combination puncher, he could flurry so precisely and predict where his opponents would be mid combination, underrated imo.

    Michael Spinks was dangerous with his power and combinations coming in quickly at weird angles

    I'll distill my previous post...narrow it down, that is, to the greatest puncher of all time...Sugar Ray Robinson.

    JMM immediately comes to mind. Not the fastest but they were deadly. Can’t get enough of his punch variety.
