Best one-two combo in history

This content is protected

Didn't want to be the guy who said Ali so I think Tyson's body then uppercut deserves a mention considering it was effective for him.

 

Shane Mosley and Joe Louis come to mind as well.

 

That's a two punch combination but i think that the op refers to a classic one two combination (jab-cross).

 

Joe Louis
Alexis Arguello
Sugar Ray Leonard
Pernell Whitaker
Marvin Hagler
Michael Nunn

Recently Adonis Stevenson has a good one two

 

Holmes

 

Hearns
Arguello
Holmes
More recently Kessler

 

Lennox Lewis
his was fast and percise

 

Lewis s was absolutely wicked. And when he was at his best the second punch was lethal.

 

Tyson.

See Tyson/Holmes first knockdown.
And the finish of the Botha fight.

 

Wlad.

 

Used it on Bruno brutally too !

 

Hearns, a lightning quick left jab , followed by possibly the most lethal straight right hand in boxing history pound for pound.

 

Tunney, McFarland, Burley, Monzon, Maske

 

i never saw it but Peter Jackson's 1-2 was his signature punch and as famous as anyone's. Most fighters were known for a left hook, or a right cross. Few if any are associated with the old one-two. Jackson through it so often and succesfully he was accuased of having no decent left hook. He denied this, but pointed out that there was no point in throwing a left hook if they couldnt get past his straight one two combination.

Bob Fitzsimmons had the right cross or solar plexus punch followed by the left shift which demolished more top contenders than probably any other fighter in history.

Jack Johnson had an interesting one. I once read an article he wrote, where he explained that the old 1-2 was really an uppercut thrown to the solar plexus which would double a fighter over followed by an uppercut to the chin. Almost in the one punch. I cant think of this 12 being used extensively by any modern fighters, but it probably should be.
