Favourite punches (and the people that threw them)

Monzon's counter uppercut to the body .. Often caught his opponents coming forward adding to the damage

 

Marvin Johnson's left uppercut. Brutal stuff.

 

Lewis right hand with Rahman 2 (KO)
Tysons uppercut with Ribalta (KD)
Joshuas uppercut with Klitschko
Shavers right hand with Holmes (KD)
Foremans uppercut with Cooney (KO)

and many others..

 

Frazier’s left hook.
Mayweathers half jab
Baer right (specifically first knock down primo fight damn that had to hurt)
Pac and Tyson’s ability to punch at different angles

 

Andrew Golota's right uppercut to the Family Jewels. It was a thing of beauty. Thrown so naturally.

 

Larry Holmes' Jab

Joe Louis' right cross

Tommy hearns' Jab and left hook to the body

Mike Tyson's uppercut

Deontay Wilder's straight right

Razor Ruddock's smash

Sonny Liston's Jab

George Foreman's Jab

John Conteh's Jab

Alexis Arguellos left Hook

Joe Frazier's left hook

Tommy Morrison's Left hook

Floyd Patterson's leaping left hook

Gennady Golovkin's Reverse uppercut

 

Matthew Saad Muhammad's hybrid left hook/uppercut that finished Marvin Johnson and nearly decapitated Lottie Mwale.

Frankie Randall's straight right hand that flattened Sammy Fuentes and felled the heretofore iron chinned JC Chavez.

 

Yes, he jerked back the head of Matthew Saad Muhammad with that punch time and again. Saad was a beast to be able to walk through it and then mow Johnson down.

 

The sound of the prime Holmes jab is an unforgettable one for me.

 

Lol.wtf? Doe he uppercut himself with it?

 

It's like a downercut

 

George Foreman’s long leading right uppercut.

 

Francois Botha's lead right to the body.

Jimmy Abbott's right lace cuff behind the ear.

Johnny du Plooy's overhand right, sometime followed by a range-seeking jab.

Kallie Knoetze's right uppercut, usually following a right to the body.

 

2 out of the normal ones I always liked.

Steele threw this great straight right to the body that went in from down low and was completely straight, different to the usual turn over right hand to the body. Very nice quick punch that grabs the wind.

Not a single punch, but the way McLarnin threw his left jab and left hook together. With his hands down low they often looked the same going out and he could slip the punch around very well, interesting jab and hook, combined with feints it worked really well.

I always enjoyed a good catch and counter as well. Donald Curry and Jimmy Carters left hooks thrown after catching the opponent's right hand with their right parry hand across their face (often in close) were beautiful. I'll even add McLarnin under there, although different cause his guard was low, I remember him often throwing the left uppercut/hook to counter an opponents jab after catching it.
