you ever watch a guy named holmes fight? or a few of ali's rabbit elbows he delivered during the 70's?

last i saw marciano wasn't connecting on too many of those elbows anyhow. he was short armed as they come which meant he had to get in tight and deliver in a very tight arc, the elbow follows, may graze, but rarely really connects with power. his greatest ko's were of attrition, even jjw I was preceded by a pounding.

Hearns vs Duran was the best I seen

Street Lethal · 07-11-2007, 04:11 AM

Hearns Shuler

JohnThomas1 · 07-11-2007, 04:21 AM

Hearns - Duran

Alexis Arguello had one of the most beautiful stright right hands ever. It was as straight as an arrow and deadly accurate.

As for one single shot, Rahman's right hand against Lewis was pretty handy...not the best ever, but what a sweet punch it was.

I likes Alexis' straight right hand vs Rooney, not the best opponent but Jesus, did you see and hear that thang? Trying to remember, i think it was an enormous right hand that got to Costello too.

I think so, JT. What impressed me is about Arguello's right is that he threw it with apparently little effort. It didn't seem that hard sometimes, but the results spoke for themselves.

Ray Robinson vs Rocky Graziano. Probably hardest right hand ever thrown. SRR hit him through his guard and threw his gumshield in the far corner. Graziano didn't even know where he was. Brilliant footage.

Good choice,if not for that Marciano striaght-right I probably would have chosen this......it's a stand out punch that's for sure.

Doppleganger · 07-11-2007, 06:28 AM

Hearns vs Shuler
Lewis vs Rahman II
Spinks vs Sears

Well it's not like guys don't throw elbows now either.

And if you want to see more intentional elbows thrown, watch Pedroza-LaPorte.

I still think LaPorte should have won that fight by DQ.

Arguello hit Pryor with that same shot. I have no idea how he didn't go down
