    I wouldn't say ever but the Spinx Jinx from Michael Spinks was a thing of beauty. Ya don't believe me watch his fight with Sears.

    Imo Jenkins was the hardest hitting lightweight ever. Wright hit very hard too but not as hard as Lew.

    Thomas Hearns might have the best right hand in boxing history. Ask great fighters Pipino Cuevas and Roberto Duran about Tommy's right hand. Ask Hagler if it was hard. Hearns right hand knocked out Cuevas and Duran, knocked down Benitez and Leonard hurt Hagler and Hill, as well as stopped numerous other fighters.

    lampley said in the hbo triple header which julian was billing on about how jackson beat the still light middleweigth champ. along the lines of "right hand put him to sleep, left hand woke him up,then another right hand put him back to bed again" good discription all honesty.....norris actually got up at ther count of 8 which is still stunning.

    When I think right hand I think of Tommy Hearns of course. After the 1980's anyone who considers the best right hands have to have him at the top. His jab is also a consideration for best jab ever.

    It ain't the quickest or prettiest or deadliest looking right in the game, but I think every single time I've seen Golota connect with a straight right, it's been a knock down.

    not a bad pick. i like chavez's to: one of the heaviest rights i've ever seen. didn't always get the knockdown, but round after round pounded you down like a wave.

    for more heavies, i'll say leotis martin and cleveland williams

    If southpaws are included we simply judge their left hand. It's the only way.
