    So it will be different for different fighters and stances but on average.

    Is it the straight right?

    The right uppercut?

    The right bolo?

    The overhand right?

    The left Hook?

    The right Hook?

    You tell me!

    Even though its the weak side? And dosnt get full hip rotation? I know it gets the most KO's but im talking about sheer force/power and if thats what you meant you may well be right, Im not sure what magnifies the left hooks power but it is obsurdly powerful!

    if you're a southpaw, is your left hand still the weaker hand?

    as Manny Steward once said, the deadliest punch is the one you don't see coming, doesn't have to be thrown like a hammer

    I'm also going with a properly thrown left hook. I can't tell you how many KO's and KD's I've seen generated by the left hook. Next is the straight right by a conventional fighter and the straight left by a southpaw.

    DONT MISTAKE KOs FOR POWER PEOPLE, THE LEFT HOOK CAUSES THE MOST KOs BECAUSE ITS CLOSE TO THE OPPONENT AND HARD TO SEE COMMING, THAT DOSNT MEAN ITS THE MOST POWERFUL PUNCH IN TERMS OF TOTAL FORCE/POWER, ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT BE.

    For raw power alone, the stronger punch might be the uppercut when it's thrown with full body weight behind and timed correctly, but few fighters can use it at its maximum potential

    but a proper left hook might be just as brutal, because of the angles it can affect a chin from, its also easier to land and faster, and mass x acceleration equals force

    matters who is throwing it. A good left hook or right uppercut seems to be the best if it can land clean. I really don't know. They all seem good.
