Agreed, JMM definitely the best combination puncher of this era.
All-time . . Ray Robinson, Ezzard Charles, Barney Ross, Gene Tunney,
Ike Williams . . I'm sure Harry Greb despite the fact there's no footage should probably make the list.
Sorry for off-topicness of question, but I've only found footage of Ike KOing Beau Jack - is there any more out there?

Early on he was definitely one of the best I've seen. He could've been one of the very best Lt. Heavies of all time had he stayed there.

Holyfield is another modern fighter that was a brilliant combo puncher. But I would have to answer Joe Louis. Every conceivable punch in the book and he had maximum power on just about all of them.
Hagler could also do it while switching stances without skipping a beat.
