    Foreman.

    And he could even throw it off his lead foot while stepping in. Currently, Povetkin throws a real nice one. It's a sneaky punch and is very effective.

    Ricardo Lopez/JMM
    Stylistically practically the same except Lopez was technically a bit better.

    I think Marquez dismantling Diaz was the best overall display of a fighter using the punch to good effect.

    Others have used it, but I think JMM could have lost that fight without making the adjustment.

    Against a top class, young opponent who put on the best performance of his whole career that night.... you've got to give it to Marquez.
