    Roman Gonzalez's left uppercut. He's the current WBA straw-weight champ.

    Ya, you beat me to it. I'm not sure if Margo has the best in the biz, but it was scary watching his uppercuts bust Cotto's face up with by either splitting the guard or doing damage even thru the guard with even the blocked ones. He winds up and cranks those things all night long if you are foolish enough to stay right in front of him.

    Zab Judah deserves a shout.

    MAn..AA has some serious raw caveman power. Whats scary is he didn't really seem to get full leverage on that shot, although it could just be the angle that makes it looks deceiving to me. Either way he does have a wicked uppercut. :bbb

    Abraham is just a devestating puncher in general. Pavlik is too open and will be stopped if they meet, mark my words. I have been saying this WAY before the B-Hop fight (B-Hops style is nothing like AA's anyway so that wouldn't have changed my mind if I'd picked Pavlik to beat AA beforehand)

    A few years ago Barrera, now id have to go for Margarito. But also, Enzo Maccarinelli deserves a mention too :yep

    Awesome pick.

    His three punch combination in his rubber match with Morales was beautiful. A straight left, followed by a straight right, and a left uppercut straight through the his guard, all landing. Awesome shot by an awesome technician.

    Froch and Judah, although both throw them from the outside more like bolos as opposed to short uppercuts
