    I got to thinkink who has the best and who had the best after Abraham's nasty uppercut KO on Sat.

    Please nominate your choice and I will do a poll with the top say 5 names all-time and today (I see it has never been done here before).

    Many will say Tyson I'm sure but remember he often began combos with an uppercut instead I am looking more for that devastating fight ending uppercut.

    Alltime-Rocky Marciano

    Today-David Diaz, Manny Pacquiao

    that uppercut was so damn awkward it was so difficult to stop.

    Now: Judah, Mayweather, Marquez

    Lennox had a nice uppercut and what about Joe Louis?

    Today I would for sure nominate Abraham's uppercut vs. Koren Gevor (August 2007):

    How has Mike Tyson been missed? The guy had that punch as perfect as you'll ever see it.

    Abraham is a bad boy when he throws uppercuts... Ayala tasted it in the 12th and he was out cold...

    Tyson in his prime was just great. The uppercut is one of the hardest and most risky shots and Mike was amazing throwing it.
