Best combination puncher in the UK?

Post by danamba7 »

I loved the combinations Mitchell was throwing Saturday night albeit against a slow opponent. It got me thinking who throws the best combinations in the UK? This should split opinions as it depends what you like watching, but for me I'd say Khan for speed and Frampton for accuracy at the moment.

Yafai could be up there if he proves it against better opposition.

I would have to agree with J McDonnell..... although for me, more of the non punchers put together better combinations

Butler combines speed with accuracy. Frampton is a good shout, Quigg is underrated.

We've a lot of good combination punchers here at the moment,Liam Williams,Billy Joe Saunders,Bradley Saunders,Callum Smith,Stephen Smith,Terry Flanagan,Anthony Crolla,Josh Warrington

Out of the ones I've mentioned,Williams is my favorite at the moment,hopefully he can look just as good when he steps up a level,he's Commonwealth LMW champ now so hopefully we can see him in some cracking scraps this year

Tyson Fury is a very underated combo puncher,probably the best in the division

Stephen Smith, Crolla and Mitchell & Khan have some really classy moves and throw intelligent combinations. Some of Mitchell's defence against the ropes was brilliant.

The answer for my money is khan, but AJ looks good for a heavy granted against limited oppo, buts it's good to see him letting his hands go

Forgot about Swifty and Crolla. They definitely throw some classy combinations.

Degale throws great effective combinations, jack caterall up and coming and picks his shots well, amir Khan an obvious choice

Jamie Cox used to be good, Akash Bhatia was really good as well, Ola Afolabi throws monster combinations.

Bhatia was coming through the ranks round the time I started getting into boxing proper,he was well thought of at one point

Just for the record, I think McDonnell is a terrible combination puncher. Never plants his feet. Throws arm punches. Terrible accuracy.

Liam Walsh is a very good combination puncher, he mixes the power punches up well too; he'd be a nightmare to box.

Yep, it's probably his biggest stand-out ability.

Kell brook doesn't miss too often when he throws a combo.
