Did Lennox Lewis have the best uppercut ever?

I dont think Ruddock's durability was necessarily diminished when he fought Lewis. Look at the punch that put Ruddock down the first time, it was just a big brutal power-packed punch. And there are other examples.
Also, I dont think all that extra weight Lewis carried was muscle. At 225 to 230 pounds he had noticeably more muscular definition that he had when he was 240 - 250, so I think the added weight was mostly body fat.

He might have improved a bit as a fighter in many areas but I think that raw destructive power was one thing that was evident to the same degree all along.
just an opinion though.

 

It's smart holding a guy still when you're trying to punch his lights out.

 

Yeah, mainly speculative observation at my part.

 

Yeah thats when I was convinced even a tranquilizer dart wouldnt drop Mcall.

 

Marciano was another guy with great uppercuts and from both hands. Very few heavies have the balance to throw nasty uppercuts with both hands. It's almost always a right uppercut and zero left uppercuts.

 

I always felt Mike Tyson had the tightest uppercut.

 

Tyson, Lewis, Hamed, Marquez

 

lewis had the meanest cup the head n pull em down into the uppercutty ever ..... all part of the arsenal

 

Nope.......

 

Bruno did the same thing against Tyson, and was repeatedly warned for it. Its boxing you know, not tiddly winks.

 

Good call.:good

 

Holmes did it his entire career.
