    Lomachenko, Joshua

    Both of them come to mind first. The uppercut Wilder stopped Ortiz with was fairly brutal

    Personally I'd give a shout out to Golovkin. He throws it two ways, from straight on, and then a version where he sort of does a sidestep and throws it perpendicular to the guard, probably so that its not telegraphed.

    He also throws it as part of combinations:

    Arslanbek Makhmudov has a pretty vicious uppercut.

    Remember that uppercut that Evander Holyfield hit Mike Tyson With?.....

    Tyson's neck did not snap back or anything of the sort, his full body including his feet just lifted a few inches of the and back down again, just like a solid lump of titanium.

    Inside uppercut award goes to Canelo
    Big Red has a beautiful inside uppercut that many fail to block or counter

    The best is definitely Canelo for me. I won't be surprised if he beats Kovalev using it.

    Followed by Loma.

    100%, and he can throw it on the outside with accuracy. One of the hardest punches in the game today.

    Of course you would.. but there's fighters out there with far better technique while throwing the uppercut, and one of them is a guy who already beat him.
