    Surprised to see so many people say Floyd's counter right after the shoulder roll with no mention of Toney's same punch, which I gotta admit I prefer to Floyds due to the face he generates alot more power with it

    Trinidad's lethal left hook, and his laser-guided straight right that was like a jab, what a weird style he had!

    And Foreman. His punches looked like they were so awkward, they wouldn't hurt a fly, but the receiver would bounce off the canvas like a basketball!

    And of course Tyson's southpaw right to the body, then uppercut to the jaw! Pure poetry!

    Mayweather jab to the body. Counter straight right over the top too is a beaut.

    Donaire counter left hook. Until he fell in love with it too much.

    Segura's winging hooks. He's just relentless.

    Sturm's jab. I hate Felix Sturm. But how can you not be in awe of this punch? One of the best of the whole era.

    Really like the way Vernon Forrest and Zab Judah throw their uppercuts.

    Tszyu had a nice check left hook before Floyd was using it.
    Maidana's awkward, extremely short overhand righthand at close quarters is such an effective tool cuz the opponents usually dont see it coming and is a good deterrent for holding/clinching.

    Ha ha, yeah, worked against standard/orthodox style fighters, Steve Robinson certainly didn't know how to handle it!

    Was only really effective against non-elite boxers but was V. entertaining.
    Kevin Kelly felt the power also but Naz couldn't be quite so ridiculous with the shots.

    Wouldn't say they were 'signature punches' as such but honourable mentions to Sugar Ray Rob's Left hook and Eubank Sr's One-Two straight right (See Jarvis KO!)

    Julio Cesar Chavez left hook to the body.

    Particularly when he doubled it up.
