    Lennox Lewis has an all-time great uppercut.

    Povetkin has an all-time great knockout with his lead uppercut.

    Watch Joshua land it on a high quality opposition, instead of dropping mediocre bums.

    Yup and it was never really a go to punch for him he has developed it especially in regards to setup and timing in the last number of years.

    He has always thrown a sneaky little uppercut in his clinches through his career though.

    Fury's best punch has always been his hooks to the body.

    AJ's problem is he can't position himself to throw or land his punches which makes him a useless bodybuilder. Wlad suffered the same way but knocking over little men who came to him was his bread and butter.

    Fury can land uppercuts off the counter, on the inside, and off the jab at mid-long range (not easy to do). AJ's uppercut is mostly limited to illegal holding and hitting maneuvers.

    yep it’s so versatile he can even hit 2 people with just 1 uppercut.

    No. Joshua cheats by holding his opponents head and throwing the uppercut.
