Dare I say, Ray made it look easy - that’s very much part of the greatness. I will say I am quite a fan of the lightning, mouth piece popping, combo that put Graziano down and out. Rocky later trying to shake the numb out of his leg was also nice, cherry on top, garnish.
That’s a very nice video. I like Wyllie, no ego, classy presentation and he doesn’t drown us with his voice or add his face into the corner of the video as he explains. I hate that, passionately so.
Greatest left handed/hook KO for sure. Greatest KO overall? Not quite. I think Hearns’s KO of Duran is number 1.
Well, beating Basilio for his 5th term as middleweight champ happened after this so I wouldn’t say this was his last great moment.
I would say this is seriously the main pick of the greatest punch ever. Considering the durability of the opponent who had never been stopped and wouldn’t be until the last fight of his career. Until being highlighted in the video I hadn’t realised the set up, which to me makes it even better.
JJ`s KO over Norris had a clever set up just like this KO over Fullmer, he feinted to the body then landed the right hook with the same shot with the same hand, awesome, his KO over Graham was devastating.
Zamora KO2 Pedroza Sosa KO2 Quinones Hearns KO1 Shuler Mederos KO5 LaStarza Shavers KO1 Ellis Cooney KO1 Lyle Charles KO2 Satterfield (Hate to see it, love Satterfield) Are some of my favorites...
Fullmer’s reverse cross guard/vampiire’s cloak seems like it’d present a unique problem. Beautiful setup and punch.
Perfect set up? Not sure about that, perfect punch for that situation, taking advantage of a hole in the opponents hand placement. You damn right it was.
