    Lead right's? Pep ,Robinson, Ali, Leonard, Jones Jr. Mayweather Jr. Hearns / lead left's ? Camacho Sr. , Whitaker, Nunn, all could land the punch
    pretty much at will. Common denominator ? All were gifted with speed, a prerequisite to land right/left lead from orthodox or south paw stance.

    Rodolfo Gonzalez. He used it a ton in his war with Chango Carmona.

    Muhammad Ali, he used it quite a bit against southpaw Karl Mildenberger on Sept 10 1966.

    I don`t remember Leonard throwing that many lead rights, his overhand right was very sloppy, he missed with that punch constantly v Benitez and Nunn wasn`t that accurate, he use to miss a lot of shots and struggled to land many lead lefts v Barkley and Starling, Nunn threw a lot of jabs.

    Duran made Leonard feast on his right lead in Quebec.

    Sanchez won a World Championship by spoonfeeding "Little Red" his lead right.

    I’m surprised Duran wasn’t the first guy mentioned
