    Lennox prolly the greatest 1-2 puncher in history when you take into account the power of his right and that ramrod of a jab.
    Wladimir right behind him. For a big guy, it was fast as hell and carried all that weight behind it.


    Joe Louis jab-cross over his opponents lead hand could reach anyone, and the arc was pretty af
    Larry Holmes had that badass walk away 1-2, came out like a whip.
    Tommy Hearns obviously, they made a damn anime about it
    2000's era Hopkins had a sneaky one
    Terence Crawford for current crop, it's sharp and puts lights out. There are times he looks like a discount Hearns.

    As much as I disliked his safety first, by the textbook style, Wlad's 1-2 was pretty lethal when he landed it. Surprisingly quick, and very hard. It gave a number of fat ex-cruiserweights hell.

    Tommy Hearns. A lightning fast jab followed by a right that's at least in the running for P4P hardest right in the sport, delivered by a fighter who usually had a big height and reach advantage.

    I'd go for his chopping right instead. That was his biggest punch.

    With him being at 147 or 154.

    Basilio used a left hook to the body, followed by the same punch to the head, to good effect against Robinson in their first fight.

    One of the best 1-2 combo "moments" was when Yvon Durelle's landed on Archie Moore

    Holmes had a great 1-2 against Gerry Cooney knocking him down in the early rounds.
