For all the users on this site who box. What's the best punch in your arsenal, or what's your favorite punch to use when boxing/fighting?

Uppercut, a nasty punch!!

Big right hand.

Straight left. Polish sledgehammer.

Do ***** slaps count?

right hook to the temples!!! mwhahaha

I switch hit, and for some reason my straight left is a lot harder than my straight right :confused: and i'm right handed!?

ohh thats vicious, how's your guy's jab?

Right hook upstairs and to the body.

a little something I like to call the right hookercut... ;)

left cross. no one suspects iam a southpaw and this puch always seems to work

Weird...it's like that with a lot of things though. I'm left handed and I bat righty, golf righty, like right handed scissors because lefty scissors suck donkey balls.

:confused:

I have never been hurt by a hook, straights and uppercuts but never a hook!?

Two options there: a) you've never been hitten by someone who throws a good hook
or b) you're some kinda genetical freak ;)

The hook is most devastating when you don't see it coming. And a good hook to the liver will send anyone to the canvas.

I'm not 100% natural southpaw, but its a text book punch!? Weird!

i see the guys i spar with hurting other big guys with hooks but they dont bother me. I hope i dont get ko'd with one now!!

I normally see the shots coming, most are taken on the gloves but i'm sure they would hurt if Tyson hit me with one, i'm only fighting good ams!!

I'm a southpaw as well (I'm right handed though, I choose the southpaw stance, because I can't move with my left foot in the front [orthodox stance]) Anywho, I've now developed a pretty good straight left. Oh yeah quick questions...Out of all the great southpaw boxers you know, who's had the best right hook? I'm asking that, because that's my favourite punch: lead-hook, from a southpaw stance..

When facing guys who can't fight....my left hook wrecks them. It's powerful, but it's the fact that these guys have no clue it's coming, & especially have never been hit that hard from so close-in.

I use to love to throw the left hook. Now I like the straight right! I think I have just gotten better at throwing it straighter!

In my younger days I had good reviews of my combinations, my favorite was a right hook to the body - right hook to the head - then a left uppercut and a quick straight right if my opponent was still open for it. I dropped several with that combo!
:cool:

Years ago i used a combo which hurt or KO'd everyone it landed on, it was left jab, right hook, left hook and right uppercut all very fast! Problem was that the finishing punch(uppercut) has tricky to land so it didnt always work.

I'm a lot better now so i'm able to pick my combo's depending what i thinks best for the moment, i also land a lot more single shots so my defence isnt so open.

for me, the hardest puch would have been the uppercut to the chin. It is the least expected punch for it's very hard to see (on the defender's perspective) when it is coming. Plus, it goes directly to the chin, pure chin! One good, hard uppercut can send even a waterbuffalo to its knees. The only liability of this weapon is the fact that you can only throw this at close range and from a good combination, e.g., left hook then right uppercut (orthodox) or right hook then left uppercut (southpaw).

The left or right hook can also be devastating because the boxer can throw this punch with enough leverage from his left or right wing (depending on what stance he fights). Mexicans, I believe, are the best at using this punch.

The straight left or right are best thrown by boxers with great handspeed. Boxers who rely heavily on power and less on speed will have a hard time dictating the tempo of the fight, using this punch, especially when he faces an opponent who excels in counterpunching. This punch can easily be seen, thus, easily defended.

The jab is definitely the weakest punch. Used commonly for setting up the best punch, or keeping the opponent at bay, or simply controlling the tempo.

my only KO was on a right hook to the body, so i guess that's my best punch

of course the best way to win a fight is to do this to your opponent

My hooks both hands :D

right hook to the body, left hook to the jaw, triple jab while moving counter clockwise

Right hook!!

I'd have to say that I have a mighty Right Hook.

that's called a right cross, because it's a cross between a hook and an uppercut... de uppacut, dat iz a dangerous punch becuz u can't see it cumming ( what the hell happened, i think i was possessed by teddy atlas for a minute there )

LOL hahaha ok thanks beeeeeeeeeatchhhhhhh i didnt know that i thought crosses were juss another word for a straight right

i got like 18% of what you just said

lol...... right hook is the best..

Easily right suzie Q to the body from a left handed stance.

If I stand conventional it's a reaching right cross to the body. No other punch that I can throw has near the snap on it like that one.

More powerful in orthodox position but ten times faster in southpaw.

Used to be jab but now it's a short cross from an angle.

Whatever knocks them the **** out.

Yeah it's universal I think.

Most right handed folks claim their cross is their best shot. The natural torque delivered changes with each person's build I'm certain of.

A shorter man throws with more compact power, the taller longer armed guy torques the punch like a whip. I don't know which is really more damaging because both are solid. The length on the taller guy's shot makes it a slightly more versatile weapon from a distance that packs some snap.

The shorter armed man can break bones when he moves in throwing that.

Whatever knocks them the **** out.

From what I've seen I'd say it's your left hook. It's good.

I was so young and dumb back then.
My balls hang lower, my voice is alot deeper, my erections are alot more powerful. I was a boy then.
I'm a *beep* now.

Whatever knocks them the **** out.

It's only cause your black :twak:

Who am I?

My straight right has more power.I just wasnt taught to throw it properly with my old trainer. Well now thats all I use. You ever heard ppl say not to throw a right hook?

Shut it *****.:slap:

Never.

I can see how it's flawed though, the minute it's thrown you're 1/2 size and can get knocked off balance if someone returns with right counter instantly. Not to mention it's typically wide and if you get slightly gassed it loses most of the momentum. I don't know how it works with a natural lefty though.

Either a sharp jab, or a lead left hook. My way of thinking is, most people are expecting a right haymaker. They will never see it coming, and by then my right hand will be coming next.

Yeah.

I've always noticed that right hand feints scare people pretty bad, almost to the point where they buy into it over and over. That's a mental issue.

Yep, and they always dip right, which is perfect for my left hook.

yeah that's pretty good. especially if you're striking someone who really hasn't been in a fight very often, they have a natural instinct of not wanting to be punched. That's only a natural fear.

I don't know anyone who likes getting punched in the face, it's not pretty. I certainly don't like it at all even when the blow is lessened because I know it's coming right at my face, yet I don't want to expend any energy to move out of the way. However I know as a boy I was scared to death of getting hit, and could easily be broken down mentally by someone feinting punches at me. My knees would shake with fear and the actual punch that hit me although it wasn't anything special would take me out if doubled up on.

I've easily outgrown that by learning more about punching and taking some pretty nasty beatings in my lifetime. It will take much more than any type of mental scare to take me out, more like a directly placed blind punch.

I hear that. Being mentally prepared for a fight is half the battle. Some people panic after they get hit, and some people start swinging. All I know is my short experience in boxing has taught me that if I'm about to throw down I'm tucking my chin and throwing straight punches.

Those first few beatings in sparring taught me the hard way.

Were you wearing headgrear and all that jazz? Although it's not really too relevant because mass is mass and punches are punches, big gloves and headgear to some extent absorb the shock from a punch.

They still smart and still ring your bell but they don't maim the way a 3-5 oz glove and tightly wrapped hand does. Ass beatings are beatings any way you slice them, I just compare the sting to getting hit in the face with a baseball to getting hit with a pillow full of shoes. respectively.
