    He also used his legs to get leverage on shots. Kinda like Rocky Marciano would do. Cus taught him.

    The most devastating punches are the punches you don't see coming.

    Sanders was really good at delivering shots that are hard to anticipate. I don't believe it's vicious like Tyson, but it's fast and unexpected. That's what made his shots so powerful.

    Yes. Similar to a lesser degree: Charles Martin and Luis Ortiz. (both soutpaws as well)

    But my favorite active HW at this spectacular skill: Alexander Povetkin.

    :thumbsup That's exactly it. He often caught guys on the way in, and their momentum increased the power of his shots by quite a bit.

    Speed, accuracy, timing. :hey
