    Tommy Morrison and Tommy Hearns were two of a long list of good left hookers. Tim Witherspoon overhand right. Julian Jackson straight right hand

    Roy Jones throws some of the best unorthodox punches you will see. Bob Foster with the left hook, Liston with the jab, Shavers, Tyson and JMM with the uppercut.

    I don't think you can really pick out just one stand out fighter for each punch.

    one of my favorite punches is Lewis' one were he holds the Jab out in front of his opponents face and follows it up with the right hand

    Alexis Arguello through nearly every punch perfect and that straight right was the closest thing to perfection that ever happened

    now a days Juan manuel Lopez throughs very very correct shots

    Kostya Tszyu's right hand... come to think of it virtually anything thrown by Kostya Tszyu was awesome!

    Hearns used to always do that. Conteh threw very good punches.

    Joe Calzaghe throws the best roundhouse modified power cuffing blows in history, closely followed by Joan Guzman.
