    You watch Hearns almost decapitate Duran and Pepino, that speaks for itself .
    It's an awesome weapon.
    Still, that right hand that kayoed Jersey Joe Walcott ..my God

    Marcianos Suzy Q was incredible but I will have to give the nod to the Hit Man as he did take out to of my all time favorites, Duran and Cuevas, My jaw was on the floor watching Hearns overhand right devastate two fighters who had very good beards.

    Yeah, Hearns hit very hard but he couldn't KO Leonard in those two fights.

    Do u think you are confused at what an overhand right is? Hearns Koed Duran and Cuevas with straight right hands.

    More of a straight right.

    He did throw that last right against Duran with
    a bit of a downward motion, but when I think of overhand rights,
    I think of guys like Shavers, Bowe, Spoon.

    Yeah, I think the overhand action may have had quite a bit to do with his height... but you're right, it could really be considered a straight right.


    I don't think any of his victims really cared about the subtle difference.
