    you shouldn't try to copy another guys uppercut. you should just keep working it during sparring and eventually it will happen. for things like that you need to find out what works for you or find good pro fighters with builds/styles similar to yours and watch theirs.

    Yep, that guy is the perfect example of textbook boxing.

    anyways i suggest Zab Judah.

    I always loved how RJJ through an uppercut after a lead leaping left hook. Tried it once though in a big fight and it didn't turn out as well as I saw it on HBO :hat

    I'd go along with Zab Judah - best uppercut that I have seen for a long time. Accuracy, timing, speed, power etc, he throws it damn near perfectly.

    I think it depends on your style. If you fight like Tyson there's not much use in mimicking Floyd when setting up an uppercut.

    Yeah it does depend on your style mate, personally i get in close and do uppercuts and body shots so the best fighter for me to watch is ricky hatton. but if your less aggressive id say kessler has a pretty mean uppercut. watch the Haussler-Kessler fight and he knocks him out with a wicked uppercut
