Best Current Examples Of Each Punch

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Tricks77, Mar 23, 2010.


  1. cotto's jab is slow as ****. What makes wlad's jab the best besides it being the only punch that he really uses is that it has good range.

    He beat mosley with it.
    He also dropped 2 ranked professional boxers with it.
     
  3. pavlik is in second for the best straight right of current fighters. For the reason that his accuracy on this punch is not as good as moneys.

    isnt miguel a converted southpaw?
     
  5. mu****a. anybody with a "decent" jab will give mosley problems as mosley's jab is lazier than a mexican during ciesta. Look at what winky and vernon did to that man with jabs. I know winky probably has a top 10 jab but vernons jab was just decent mu****a.

    You just said it was slow and garbage.
    Now it's on par with winky and vernon?

    I'm not saying it's better than wlad, but cotto's jab is very very good.

    (he is a converted southpaw)

    Hm.. he did drop Andrade. But I've not had a lot of exposure to Bute.

    Cotto has a good jab, I'd agree with that, but there are fighters out there with much better ones. I think most of us are in consensus with Wladimir Klitschko as the best jabber out there right now.

    I'm actually somewhat surprised that Hopkins was a repeat mention for the straight right. Especially when there are fighters out there like Kessler, Wladimir Klitschko, and my personal favorite in this category, Randall Bailey, that make such use of it. Hopkins does have an excellent counter right hand. Calzaghe will be able to testify to that.
