    You practically said that - you said he wasn't going to make the fight 'fun', i.e he is boring.

    I only commented because you know that I will jump at every comment you make since you claimed to own me in another thread :yep;)

    as for the finest i'd say Ali has to be up there alongside tyson,,:happy
    and today's finest combo thrower would go to Marquez (jmm):good

    The Kronk has produced some fantastic combination punchers when i come to think about it.

    Just watching some G-MAN.....damn the guy was lethal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jab right hand over top and then drops to side and lands left hook to body....the guy was devastating.

    That's a massive assumption on your part, Kos. Kotelnik has an incredibly effective defence and has never touched the canvas- Khan's gamelan was the only one, considering his attributes, that was ever going to work, IMO.

    I also know you follow my posts religiously!;):lol:

    Never said anything about what and what wouldn't work against Kotelnik - just saying both contributed to the fight not being the most exciting, thats all.

    Duran is very underrated in this department, not too flashy but very effective.

    I never thought I'd see the words 'Duran' and 'underrated' in close proximity on this forum :yep

    When Khan and Kessler are getting mentions for combination punching and Duran isn't then he's underated....;)

    Kessler is only being mentioned in the sense he's about as fluid a combination thrower as Khan :viking

    Taylor did tend to shoe shine this making the combo less effective

    Domestic:

    Tony Sibson
    Jason Booth

    there 2 fine examples i can think of just now

    World/OAT:

    Tyson - Brilliantly fast from head to body seemlessly)
    JMM - Buetifal combinations with brillaint little movements during it
    Arguello - Stringed his shots together text book
    Louis - Short sharp and effective, threw in left hooks brillaintly
    Carlos Ortiz - when he smelled blood he threw combos like a little Joe Louis
    Ray leonard - Really good combinations when he was in his boxer-puncher role
    Duran - just amazing in all areas this no exception, disguised his combos well
