    I am not a Tyson fan but he had the most devastating uppercut I have ever seen.

    I think anyone who saw Napoles right uppercut knock Earnie Lopez out cold with the shot to his chin, then watch it continue up and cut Red below and above his eye knows a great uppercut.

    Are we talking single shots in a fight or as a weapon?

    Foreman's uppercut that floored Frazier immediately came to mind if we're talking about single shots performed in a fight.

    is left uppercut to the liver.

    This is a perfect weapon.

    No matter what kind of chin you have...forget it ...your liver will suffer a lot and will cut your legs for 1 minute
