    I'd say this holds a lot of weight :deal

    Lennox Lewis had an amazing right hand and uppercut - the kind of roundhouse right he uses to starch Rahman is one of the best single punches in heavyweight history IMO (along with the right Rahman drop Lewis with too as a matter of haha). The uppercuts he used to stop Big Frank looked really bad too - Infact Bruno would probably be a good one to ask about uppercuts he took some brutal one in Tyson I aswell - Tysons uppercut is one of the very best I think.
    Other particular punches that come to mind are Jack Dempsey's left hook - Joe Louis' short right hand was freakish too - jabs wise heaviest I'd say (but again I've only seen - not felt) from recent ish times Riddick Bowe's - I remember Bowe nearly knocking down Holy in fight one with his - obviously Liston too and Joe Louis again on this one everytime he threw it it seemed to land and everytime it landed the guy on the receiving end looked like he really had to tense up to absorb it - it looked sickening - plus it was the most consistently powerful and accurate its all I'm used to seeing when I watch a Louis fight his opponents head and hair being rattled and shook very few seconds by that ramrod jab. Other left hooks I'm impressed by? Jersey Joe Walcott is one - anyone who can spring a one punch knockout on a consummate fighter like Ezzard Charles is very very special in my opinion

    right hand is easy,George Foreman ;)
    yea Louis was great but for me no one punch of louis was the greatest,every punch was very good,but not the hardest,not the fastest..... he was a great combination puncher
