    80's Journeyman Mike Jameson was on the receiving end of highlight reel uppercuts on at least a couple of occasions.

    First was against Frank Bruno. Jameson was falling straight down from a left hook, and Frank blasted him with an uppercut on the way down.

    Second was against Foreman in 1990. When it comes to knocking an opponent's mouthpiece out, George might have set a record for distance here at about 15-20 feet I'm guessing. Here are both clips time stamped...

    Good selection.
    It would be interesting to know his opinion about who hit him the hardest.

    I did the same thing, myself, mate. Had Saad's left upperhook vs Mwale and Roger Mayweather on Pazienza and Rene Arrodondo. I felt quite clever till I read the title.

    Tyson had fantastic uppercuts, I think it was against Jesse Ferguson he said that he wanted to put Ferguson's nose into his brain.

    Foreman must've hit a ringer with that mouthpiece

    What do you mean by dip down and push off the ground for an uppercut?

    Jameel McCline dropped Samuel Peter who was known for his sturdy chin. Peter was well on his way to winning the round when a short uppercut from McCline dropped Peter for the first time as an amateur or pro.

    I think Fury-Whyte deserves a mention too. I thought Fury shoved him but it was a powerful right uppercut, especially when you watch it in slow motion.

    When i watched the build up to Lewis vs Mason a few years ago on YouTube i remember them showing highlights of Mason and this uppercut stood out to me and is a good example for your thread.

    Go to 1 minute 32 seconds into the video for reference of the uppercut.

    I had never seen this before. That was an awesome uppercut by Mason. Brilliant.

    Agreed, that punch caused Frazier's arms to drop straight down along with his head , Frazier was unconscious when he touched the canvas and his fighting spirit picked his body back up. To this day I've never seen anyone recover from such a vicious knock out blow so quickly like that .

    The only other human being who might have gotten up from that shot is the man Joe Frazier went to his grave hating.
