Boxers who were overly reliant on a particular punch

Ruddock and his "Smash"

 

Ingo fits. People will mention his underrated jab, fairly, but he did like a huge right hand.

 

Dare one say Frazier. Yeah, we know he had a right hand to the body.....but tally things up.

 

Mike Nunn seemed to throw a lot of southpaw left uppercuts to the body, though wouldn’t say reliant

 

Frazier is the first that comes to mind but boy oh boy did he make it work even though they knew it was coming. Same with Holmes and his jab. I must admit I can watch that jab all day though.

 

Yeah it sure wasn't a knock Rob. Greatest (overall) left hook ever. The Holmes jab was certainly heavily used, but he had a fine right cross and uppercut to back it up with.

 

Deontay Wilder and the right hand.

 

Howard Winstone was overly reliant on his left, having lost 3 x fingers on his right hand. Though, tbf, he could jab to the head and hook to the body with his left with near equal aplomb.

 

Cyclone Hart’s left hook and Gerrie Coetzee’s right hand

 

Cooney left hook

 

Joey Maxim
Joe Frazier
Nicotino Locche
Razor Ruddock
Deontay Wilder

You’ll see this more at HW, Nicolino was more reliant on two punches then 1 his right hand was mostly a Christmas bauble, bad hands most likely in his history. NL frequently set up and did not throw the right…

 

Hi Greg.
Good choice, Winstone was a master boxer, do you have him as a better boxer than Buchanan overall ?
stay safe buddy, chat soon.
Mike.

 

Hi Mike,
All things being equal, I think Buchanan had the better career. Winstone was remarkably good, given his disadvantage, though.

 

Max Baer with the right, Adonis Stevenson with the left, yes Stevenson lined it up well, but it was only with a pawing right, guys didn’t really have to worry about his right.
