    the greatest right hand lead every. I am not talking about the right cross you throw after a jab or a lead hook. I mean your right hand first like a jab. The obvious choice for me would be Roy jones jr. he had probably the greatest one ever. How bout you eastsiders who do you think had the best ever and currently?

    I honestly don't know about greatest ever in this category, but I liked Jimmy Ellis right hand leads at his best. David Love had a nice one and Doug Jones as his best knew how to time his short right hand leads well. Ali in '67 threw a crackling double right hand lead against Foley at the end of the fight.

    Hopkins and PBF are the best of the modern fighters IMO. That I know of, at least.

    Maybe not the best but Napoles had a right lead that made it look like he had a magnet in his hand...just nearly always found the mark.
