    I’ve only seen a handful of his fights but Yaqui Lopez is high on my list. Really mixed shots up well.

    Definitely Frazier.

    Tyson back when he threw body shots.

    I always remember loving the way Hearns would jab & then throw the left hook downstairs.

    Those ducking right hooks to the body that Tyson threw when young. Just beautiful when he'd time it so they'd bend forward in pain only for him to nail them with the follow-up uppercut.

    The most overlooked part of the Carlos Zarate attack was the constant left uppercut to the body that he used. Not to be confused with the hook to the liver. He worked the left uppercut into the center of the stomach just above the belt line.
