Better Straight Right Hand: Chavez Sr or Mayweather Jr

Pam Grier

 

Thanks! If people haven't been in the ring before they have no idea how hard it is to do. It's hard enough to land 2 straight right hands in a row let alone 3.

 

Co-sign.

 

Exactly, it takes skills and talent to pull that one off...Hardly anyone can pull that one off.

 

im sure Jones and Whitaker could but yeah its not for everybody.

 

Floyd easily.

 

Hell yeah...Roy had a monsterous right hand lead...I do agree!:good

 

I was exagerating and I voted for Floyd in the poll however you have to agree that Chavez's was harder wheras floyd's was quicker and more accurate

 

Not sure about the right, but Pea's "nine overhand left" combo sure was nasty.

 

I agree JCC punched harder than PBF.

 

are you talking about the Hurtado fight right,that was crazy.

 

:good

Mercante Jr. really let that go too long.

 

Chavez punched harder than Floyd but had neither the accuracy neither the timing.

People in boxing are too quick to say the fighters from previous eras are better, and also Floyd's annoying personality clouds their judgement as to how good he actually is (or was should I say).

 

Chavez had a great right hand but it was more of a cross between an overhand right and a straight right hand. And Chavez' money punch was really the left to the body.

Floyd's straight right hand is his bread and butter.

If Chavez had Floyd's straight right hand to go with the rest of his arsenal he would have been unbeatable

 

Floyd turned around the Judah fight with basically his straight right and nothing else.

Not the hardest shot, but perfectly thrown.
