    for the sake of bb, i thinking lew jenkins deserves a mentioned. from what i've seen, it's between julian jackson and foreman with an honourable mention to shavers for the right against holmes (possibly the hardest punch EVER)

    true but he relied on accuracy and timing more than pure power. it took a LOT of right hands to take down louis.

    All of the above. How can you measure the best right hand.? The individual chin it connects on determines the effect of a right hand. I would put the right hand of Carpentier ,because of the speed , and the highly forgotten Jack Delaney who in two fights with Tiger Flowers, flattened the southpaw Flowers THREE times with his laser

    :deal This

    that delivery in the same manner with the same return connecting as it did would've knocked out every heavyweight champion in history out cold IMO

    but there have been some great right hands - the name Max Baer always comes to mind - I personally think Lennox Lewis had a great one aswell - and Joe Louis obviously (he was pretty much the greatest exponent of virtually every punch there is really

  14. Lennox Lewis has a mother of a right hand , but gets little recognition
