Yea Ali had a good uppercut, fast, like a bolo punch! Not too heavy, I'd argue Holme's may have been a touch better, Tyson's certainly heavier but less showy.

The vicious Walcott-Charles III KO, and by a pretty clear margin in my opinion. Not just one of the best uppercuts, but a contender for best overall one-shot KO in boxing history.

Muhammad Ali ... watch "Fight of the century" Ali v Frazier (1)... Ali`s left - uppercut is `amazing`, Fast, accurate, powerful... watch Bonavena vs Ali... the KO punch from Ali is one of the best punches (uppercut) ive ever seen, it was the only time Bonavena was KOd

In their trilogy, Bowe hit Holyfield with some hellacious uppercuts. Holmes ko'd Weaver with a spectacular uppercut. Foreman hit Frazier with terrifying uppercuts as well.

Tyson's signature combo, straight right to the body leveraged into an uppercut to the head, deserves mention.

While it's usually counter-intuitive for a long armed fighter to be good at in-fighting, Bowe's uppercut made him dangerous on the inside.

That was more of a bolo punch than an uppercut, a half uppercut half hook.

Carl Froch has the best uppercut of all time.

For sure. Even though it wasn't a one hitter quitter, it looked like something that would break a normal mans neck.

To this day, that's one of the best punches I've seen landed in a professional fight. It seemed like it was thrown at 2x speed.

I think it may have been even better than a simple stoppage - Byrd was drooling like a newborn and *****ing at the ref simultaneously.

Incidentally also some of Merchant's funniest commentary. "He claimed it wasn't a knockdown, it WAS a knockdown, and he never...stopped...*****IN" :lol1:

HAHA he was. He had a couple of drool moments after rising from the canvas. Must have been hard for him to multi-task at that point.

:wtf1:are you retarded? just because you are in the orthadox stance does that mean you are not allowed to lead with the right hook? maybe if you actually were a fighter...youd understand that you could. Anyone who watches tyson, or knows anything about boxing knows that was his favourite combo...right hook to the body, right uppercut to the head...in the orthadox position, you know nothing.

Don't mind the goofball Poet. The lad has made it a routine to make an arse of himself in a childish way.

Rocky Marciano would be my answer to the topic. I remember him throwing a right uppercut that send his opponent clean through of the ropes.

Rocky Marciano had nothing little going for him on the technical side so i defintly would not say him. Also he had hit me all over him. All he had was Grit, High workrate, Very good chin and a very hard punch. Best uppercut of all time ive ever seen was the Eubank vs Watson. But the best uppercut goes to probably Mike Tyson, and as far as throwing the uppercut technically perfect goes-Miguel Cotto and Chavez.

p.s. Limey none of your business, how am i making my self look like an "arse"? i clearly stated that Tyson's best/favourite combo was the right hook the body then uppercut to the head, which i was right...so it wouldnt make me look like an "arse" it would make me look right, which of course i am.

I was talking about Poet. So now you are an arse.

And that is not even Tyson´s favorite combination. The fookin vid you posted yourself clearly has Tyson stating that the right to the body, left hook to the head was his favorite combo. The one that finished Ruddock, and hurt Holyfield badly.

also, when you saw him endign with the left hook to the head, he still lead with the right hook...yet according to you you have to be southpaw to lead. Retard.

no oaps. watch the WHOLE OF THE VID. where he gets the little guy smitty on the ropes, "one of my favourite combos, and one you are most famous for, which you used against Bruno was the right hook to the body, followed by the uppercut to the head".

I did watch the WHOLE OF THE VID, arsewhipe.

THE LITTLE GUY says that's his favorite combination. NOT TYSON. Tyson himself clearly stated that the right to the body left to the head was his favorite. Are you this thick mate?

Tyson had the best uppercuts. He landed a hellacious uppercut on Marvis Frazier followed by a left hook, landed a big one on Frank Bruno, and ended Mike Spinks night with a rugged uppercut. Ironically though the best uppercut I have ever seen is the uppercut that Buster landed shortly before knocking Tyson out. That would have taken a normal mans head off.

In fairness to Tyson his eyes had been almost completely battered shut by that point. That wasn't a punch you can really get away with against an opponent who can see: Buster threw it from too far outside. When he tried that against Holyfield Evander countered him with a right hand and put his lights out.

Very good post. Throwing an uppercut (particuarly a right one) from long range leaves you wide open.
