    McGrain, what did you think of the one-two that Lewis sparked Rahman with?

    If you're mentioning the left that set Rahman up for Lennox's big right as a one-two then you have to mention the right uppercut that set Dick Tiger up for that great left hook that Foster ko'ed him with as a classic one-two as well.

    Thanks for saying so! It took ******* ages.

    That's a very good call. Would anyone care to "write up" another jab, with an explanation of what was good about it, room for improvement, maybe some footage?

    Absolutely brutal, but the left hand is two wide for it to be called a jab. I don't mind a little bit of variety, but that is a diferent combination in my opinion. Lead turned left hook, right hand.

    Just watched it again and you're right, he does hook the left. Still, the sound is brutal.

    David Haye has an underrated one-two, in fact I believe it is his best asset.

    Excellent thread.

    No qualms about Lopez at #1. His 1-2 had everything.

    Nice to see a modern day inclusion with Kessler in the list.

    Oh and I agree with Chris, a 1-2 from an asthetic point of view looks fantastic.
