    Because Patterson and Frazier utilized a technique that had no real use, there are levels Floyd and Joe were at the top

    I'll give a vote to Bob Foster's left hook against Tiger. And Mike Quarry. And Vincente Rondon

    Were Joe Frazier and Floyd Patterson stupid? The function of galloping forwards while punching is to cover distance, not for power.

    Left uppercut (i.e. an uppercut with your lead hand if you are right handed)

    Povetkin vs Whyte 1 - ko
    Ibeabuchi vs Byrd - the first knockdown was set up with it
    Razor Ruddock vs Michael Dokes
    Foreman vs Cooney - the final knockdown was a big left uppercut followed by a right
    Tyson vs Spinks - first knockdown was a left uppercut followed by a right hand

    Not many guys can throw this punch and not many can throw it with authority and accuracy.

    It is not stupid but in most of the fights its not usable because you could end on your ass not just from the punch but because you lose ballance.

    Usyk’s big left hook on Fury instantly became one of my favourite punches: -

    No punch has given me as much pleasure to witness as what I like to call Fury's "penance" uppercut -

    Good call. Saad's KO of Lotte Mwale perhaps the classic of this ilk. It looks perfect, Lotte out before hitting the canvas, complete with Hollywood-esque perspiration.

    Jab and right hand to the body.

    Counter right uppercut Eddie Futch taught his fighters.
