    For you what 1 punch has the most historical impact on boxing?

    maybe its

    Schmelings final right hand on Louis

    Marcianos right hook on Walcott

    or something else :think

    The Phantom Punch is pretty iconic.

    I thought you meant in general, like for any fighter. There's no real answer but for that you would probably say the jab, you always get taught it's your bread and butter when you first learn like.

    REALLY good question. frazier's left hook against , marciano's right against walcott are both great choices. jeffries left against fitzsimmons? that was pretty important in heavyweight history.

    for this one, i have to go with frazier's left. it was a key part in boxing's greatest rivalry and is almost as iconic as the phantom punch but much more potent and salient

    I think this one merely brought forward the inevitable.

    I would pick a punch that changed the course of a key fight.

    I would have to agree. If we look at how there was friciton between Germany & USA, I think the significence of Louis' victory is very high! Imagine if Schmeling won the rematch, especially at that time?
