    Tysons right hook, and uppercut were great, and get this, his best combo was probably his right hook to the body followed by a right uppercut up top :bbb

    Wasn't Mike Tyson a leftie? I know he fought orthodox, but I believe he was left handed. After the Carl Williams fight; he stated that his right hand was his best punch, "but I keep catching guys with left hooks." I always thought that to be interesting, since he was a left handed fighter.

    Watch a lot of Joe Louis and Julio Cesar Chavez. You will see the correct way to throw many punches, and many combinations. These two fighters are as technically good on offense as any you will ever see.

    did JCC have a great right hook or uppercut..i thought him more as a left hook to the body type guy..a tremendous body destroyer

    Tyson is one to watch. Foreman too, though his technique was off. Tommy Morrison has good hooks to the body or head, and sometimes used an uppercut.

    The uppercut is a rare punch. Why?

    Carlos Palomino Had a lovely Right Uppercut - Left hook Combination
    He terminated the fierce Challenge of Dave Boy Green with that Combo
    - Whist fighting inside, the Right Uppercut Lifted the Head follwed by the Left Hook to the Chin, when thrown Like Palomino a Lovely One-Two combination, and Very Effective if the shots are on Target, as Green found Out.
