    The three best with right uppercuts I saw at heavyweight was a primed Foreman, Tyson, and Earnie Shavers. Others like Louis threw it by the book also but not with the ko power of the above three. George also threw a stunning left uppercut in his second career which is a rarity among boxers. Jose Napoles didn't use his right uppercut often but when he did it had the makings of all time best. In the 15th against Earnie Red Lopez his put everything behind one which cut Earnie below and above his left eye and left him out to the world for almost five minutes.

    He's up there. Charles, Liston Johnson and Lewis are the comp at HW I guess.

    This one against Lorenzo Boyd was awesome! Tyson's favorite combo: right to the body followed by a right uppper to the jaw.

    Has the OP got pictures of Tyson above his bed?

    Best uppercut!! the fool hasn't even got the best LOWER cut.

    Foreman would lift the little cretin off the floor with his just like he did Joe F.

    Tyson's left hook was sweeter. Personally I go for Bowe as far as uppercuts go.

    Particularly his favoured double shot, to the body and head, was a work of art.

    It may be some time before we see that kind of athleticism and coordination again.

    Your opinion bares the same significance as a dropped peanut.
