joe louis couldn't throw a sloppy punch if he tried...some badass examples are all the baer fights and the galento fight
Alexis Arguello was really rocking Kevin Rooney with his shots straight down the pipe, and ultimately KO'd Rooney with one of the best and most textbook perfect straight rights I've ever seen.
Joe Louis hands down, he also obviously had some of the best footwork, combinations and the ability to finish a man off once he had you hurt in the history of the HW division. But his straight punches were straight deadly.
Alexis Arguello threw as straight as any fighter I've ever seen. He came immediately to mind. Perfect technique.
Virgil Hill got into the hall of fame by throwing combinations that consisted entirely of jabs and straight rights. For all his innumerable flaws Kermit Cintron threw some amazing jabs and straight rights when his head was right and he was on form.
