    Dwight Muhammad Qawi ...would show you an opening for your right hand ...just so he could counter it with his own

    Can't believe no one thought of Ray Leonard or Jones Jr. Two fighters that seemed to be able to land a right hand lead at will... But most fighters that were exceptionally fast could land it , fighters like Davis Jr, M.Taylor , T.Norris were all capable of landing the punch.

    Several people mentioned Roy (and rightfully so). RJJ and FMJ were the first two who came to mind for me.

    Sergey Kovalev had a good one. He had a good 1-2 , but also a very hard to read 2-1.

    Did he use it as a genuine lead often tho BT? I was mulling guys like him up as well. He could sure as hell counter with it.
