I guess, that's an extra example in the list.

Why don't you share your own opinion first?
Edit: didn't see the second post.
I would say current: Andy Ruiz's prime not bad, as wel as Luiz Ortiz, Joshua and Usyk.
Before the current: Prime Tyson for sure, Klitschko, Foreman, Lewis, Holyfield.

I remember Lennox Lewis KOd someone with a right cross followed by a left hook. Thought that 2 punch combo was supposed to be the other way around.

cross-hook is a basic boxing combo

JM Marquez had some very nice combos, often doing more advanced stuff like uppercutting off of hooks with the same hand (it is much easier to start with the uppercut). He could keep combos going while moving back too

A guy like Pacman does or at least did punch in combo a lot, but it was almost always 1-2-1-2 , 2-1-2-1-2, etc, not very creative
Re: Which Boxers have/had the Most Creative Combos?
ODLH: Cocaine and fishnets was quite creative.

Leonard was a big puncher, great body puncher. He hit much harder than loma, who is more just a speed and pitty-pat puncher.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑20 Mar 2020, 16:36Leonard was more speed. Kinda like how Khan throws fast combos.

Struggle to find many better than Juan Marquez when he let his hands go, his punch selection was insane!

Roberto Duran - he wasn't too shabby in the combination department.
When he put his punches together, he was almost unstoppable.
Even past his best, he was still pretty good, like when he beat Barkley.
Meldrick Taylor is also worthy of a shout.
His handspeed was from the ages and his combinations were a sight to behold.
Honourable mention to Michael Dokes also.

When I spar people I'm partial to one of Aaron Pryor's combos that is unusual. Straight right to the body, straight right to the head, jab, straight right to the head again.
It's not one you'd want to use a lot, but it's a good one to mix it up sometimes as it's not typical.

Re: Which Boxers have/had the Most Creative Combos?
i always liked to feint a jab to draw a parry, then throw a hook
Re: Which Boxers have/had the Most Creative Combos?
Indeed. It can be powerfully employed against by an orthodox fighter against a southpaw. Especially if you double up the left hook.
My short list:
Prime Tyson
Pretty Boy Floyd
Sugar Shane
Canelo
Holyfield
Amir Khan
Ray Leonard

Josh kelly has thrown some interesting ones. Especially when he through Jab, Left hook, Left hook, Left hook, Left hook, Left hook, Left hook, Left hook. Cant say i'd ever seen that before.

Re: Which Boxers have/had the Most Creative Combos?
kelly is a vanity boxer, so much posing and trying to be nifty and flashy...........his moves are like he's thought them out for him to try to look cool instead of them coming naturally and being what's most effective in the situation
