    Right Hook to body, right hook to head- Mike Tyson

    Used a number of times. Quite unusual in the sense of right hook being used once, let alone twice. It has no advantage over a left hook for a orthodox but the distance he used to position himself in meant he do it effectively and be in good position for a left hook too. Plus it helps that the opponent was often protecting his face lol

    Getting down low and coming back with a bif left hook up top- Nigel Benn

    It was ridiculous how low he got, I recall him being near his opponents knees once and the commentator said that a illegal move, you can only go so low lol. Interesting as I did not know that, I thought as long as your knees didn't touch the canves you were fine.

    Yeah, thats right I remember Whitaker doing it against Nelson. I always thought it was because he was so popular he got away with it, Benn, kind of like Ali getting away with extending that left arm to his opponents face. Not that I'm comparing the two lol we all know Benn tops Ali in the P4P department :)

    Avoid a straight right to the face by rolling your head to your right just as your opponents right make contact with your face.
    The result is his right hand going right by your head, at which your instantly turn back to your left and nailing him with your own right hand.
    This is called rolling with the punch.
    Done best by Roberto Duran.

    TBQH I think Charles was better at hooking off that jab. He does a great job working the 1-2-3 and 1-3-2, best i've seen really

    Chavez was a master at head movement in close, making a guy miss and then making him pay by working body and head, staying relaxed and efficient right in range as he dipped and weaved. He was also very good at doubling and tripling his punches with the same arm, sometimes same punch, sometimes different punches, with same arm, up and down.

    Duran was masterful at pumping the jab, stepping in quick with a dip, then working, or letting you throw as he quick stepped and dipped or rolled from your punches, and then worked quick counter punches to the body and head.

    Tyson was also very good at aggressive counterpunching, moving in with head movement, allowing you to fire at him as he was pressuring you, then to dip and fire well timed quick counter punches.

    Ali had a beautiful well timed counter right over his opponent's jab. Very nice fluid head movement. Masterful at busy relaxed quick punches, that pumped at you consistently. Ali had a very nice jab-right-left hook-left uppercut combination, or jab right left uppercut left hook.

    Ali and Ray Leonard had beautiful fluid footwork and ability to throw off the footwork or even while moving. Leonard was very good at switching directions.

    Patterson and Hamed were very good at quick explosive leaps at their opponents with explosive combinations of punches where the power emanated from springing and the forward momentum of the legs. Tyson did this to a certain degree as well.

    McCallum had very nice relaxed blend of consistent work rate and power, working a consistent jab, but rolling and dipping and working the body and head.

    Frazier was excellent at sliding in and dipping his head at the same time in consistent fashion, applying pressure as he moved his head and advanced, and then exploding up and down with punches to the head and body, particularly with the hook, either as a lead or as a counter punch.

    Marciano was very good at walking or sliding in, then dipping as he advanced or rolling and countering to the body in head. In fact, I would argue he had underrated speed at rolling and countering.

    Jersey Joe Walcott was good at rolling and countering. Toney had a beautiful ability to roll or dip and counter. Holyfield too. Evander was masterful at riding punches then coming back at you.

    Holyfield also had a very nice forward-back bouncing footwork move where he baited you into a punch as he took a slight step forward, but then would step back and make you fall short and then counter you or time you with a shot.

    The Klitschkos are masters at hooking off the jab, perhaps their best move.
