    60s Ali’s jab. Holmes jab.

    Pernell Whitaker and Marvin Haagler for the southpaw jab. Moorer also had a great one.

    Hopkins lead straight right hand, head butt combination. Ali and Mayweather also had wonderful lead right hands.

    Robinson, Roy Jones jr and Frazier for the left hook.( SRLeonard was also a gun )

    Durans straight right cross.

    Tyson and Jack Johnson for the uppercut.

    Tyson, Tim Witherspoon , Norton and Marciano all had great overhand rights.

    Chavez left hook to the liver.

    Pac-Man for his southpaw left cross.

    Cheers All.

    I loved Trinidad’s left hook. I think that’s my favorite. Olivares and Frazier also had beautiful left hooks which I love to see too.

    Arguello's straight right hand. It was thrown like a laser beam.
    Leonard's double left hook. A thing of beauty.
    Chavez's left hook to the body, I I don't think
    He ever missed it.
    Larry Holmes jab, speed and power.
    Ali's Jab, and that lead right hand, almost
    As fast as his jab.
    Joe Frazier's left hook, he had a radar in
    That left hand and could land it hard,
    If the opponents were moving away,
    Or in close.
    Almost any punch from J.Louis.
    Like Arguello, every Louis punch
    Was perfect.

    Saw Hop do it once- he called it the Jersey Joe Walcott Shovel Hook. I can't explain it, but it was sweet.
    Tyson, hook to the body followed by that lethal uppercut
    Pac's Str8 Left.
    Wilder's str8 Right.
    RJJ's quadruple left hook.
    Favorite uppercut is Razor's "The Smash"
