Fighters who were overtly reliant on one punch

Smart arse.

But very good.

 

Holmes and that great jab deserves a mention.

 

The first thing that came to my mind and the first reply here

 

Pipino's left hook.

 

What choice did he have?lol

 

I suspect DMT meant "overly," but your point is well taken. I'm glad you took the time to explain the distinction. You are literally very correct. But ... had Joe had a more effective right hand, he undoubtedly would have been even better. I think I read somewhere that there was a physical reason why Joe couldn't use his right more. Do you know if this was the case?

I just watched Ali-Frazier 3 for the first time ever (I just had never gotten around to it. I was in law school at the time of the fight and thus was otherwise occupied). Watching it just reinforced in my mind what a great FIGHTER Joe was. Nobody I've ever seen was willing to walk into a firestorm like he did. It was a hard fight for me to watch.

 

Overtly vs Overly? I see.

Expanding on the question of semantics, may I say that Max Baer was covertly reliant on the left jab?

 

Thank you!
