    Every boxer can be given trouble by any well timed or powerful punch, be it jab, straight or whatever, but what boxers would you say have shown a certain prevalence to being hurt/or given trouble by a certain punch?

    For example, Thomasz Adamek has a torrid time dealing with jabs, if he's unfortunate enough to be hit by one, a KO may be in the offing unless he is able to execute his patented pole rope-a-dope©

    Manny Pacquiao has seemed particularly vulnerable to straight rights, be it counters, or leads, more so than most elite southpaws.

    Brandon Rios - All punches

    Vitali Klitschko has shown that one of the only punches he has been consistently with has been the right-hand counter

    Any others you can think of?

    You forgot the most obvious... PeeWee (Paul Williams) is very easy to hit with the overhand and straight lefts.

    Same with Cotto due to his elbows flaring out so much.

    Yes Cotto is a good one, earmuffs defence + deep bend at the knee means he was always open to an uppercut or two, or the 130 Margarito landed.

    Ricky Hatton and the right hook roll under :-(

    Donaire can be tagged with a jab

    Antonio Margarito can be hit with anything

    - Nonito, as he showed us last week, can be surprised with straight rights.
    - Calzaghe didn't like straight rights, either.
    - Martinez can be gotten to with them, too. As well as jabs.
    - Maidana doesn't like right-hooks from southpaws.
    - JMM doesn't like left-hooks.
    - Ortiz is a sucker for both overhand and straight rights.
    - Khan, besides uppercuts and most other punches, has perhaps reacted to left-hooks worse than any other.
    - Floyd in the past has been gotten to with straight lefts from southpaws.

    Cotto- uppercut
    Tito- jab and straight right
    Ali- left hook
    Tyson- uppercut
    Berto- uppercut. Actually he's just a poor defensive fighter period.

    David Price gets tagged with a jab easily, DLH was vulnerable to straights in the second half of the fight through out his career, ortiz defends right hands with his face, hamed hated a jab

    Besides the ones already mentioned, Floyd takes a straight left to the belly often (and not sparingly to the head either, regardless of whether it's exaggerated.) The overhand right when well-timed seems to stand out a bit as well.

    Cotto is less crouched and flared in his stance/guard, but uppercuts have hurt him throughout his career.

    I have to resent the Rios mention of "every punch" a little, just because I think a lot of infighters' defense gets underrated. Lots of subtle rolls and slips and blocks that still make contact are harder to catch but are very effective up close. Just like he said in response to such criticisms, "how come my face ain't marked up after my fights?"

    Paq-man seems particularly troubled with jabs, and Cotto couldnt block an uppercut if his life depended on it
