[Ruthless-RKO]

Roy Jones Jr?

Vitali?

Canelo?

Pacman?

James Toney?

Roman Gonzalez?

Ricardo Lopez?

Lightweight Mosley?

Heck, even a prime Tyson?

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.

[margaret thatcher]

cross-hook is a basic boxing combo

[margaret thatcher]

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

[margaret thatcher]

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

[Jaywheel]

ODLH: Cocaine and fishnets was quite creative.

[Ruthless-RKO]

bang - bang - bang - bang - bang - bang

mmkk let me think, loma, pac, leonard...

[Ruthless-RKO]

mmkk let me think, loma, pac, leonard...

Leonard was more speed. Kinda like how Khan throws fast combos.

That is hilarious! I read it with Lampleys voice!

[Enlightened-One]

Emanuel Augustus

Leonard was a big puncher, great body puncher. He hit much harder than loma, who is more just a speed and pitty-pat puncher.

James Degale

[boxings first]

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

[Syntax Error]

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.

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Juan diaz used to fire 20 punch combos

Emmanuel Augustus drunken master routine was pretty creative

[gilgamesh]

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.

[margaret thatcher]

i always liked to feint a jab to draw a parry, then throw a hook

[bobcatbox]

cross-hook is a basic boxing combo

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

[gregregegg]

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.

[margaret thatcher]

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
