Okay guys, what is the best power punch in boxing history? By best, I don't mean one-off punches that ko'd an opponent in ONE fight. I'm talking about consistency over the career of a fighter. Meaning a fighter who had a punch, that when he threw it and it connected, could win him the fight instantly or turn the fight immediately in his favour.

Over the past 10 years, I would have to say Tito's left hook (to head or body). Closely followed by Tszyu's straight right hand.

However my all time favourite has to be "The Hitman's" straight right hand. When he threw that punch, it didn't just land, it didn't just connect...it ****ing detonated!! If he landed that weapon of mass destruction it was over for his opponent one way or the other!! What are your thoughts? Please Share!!

rocky marciano's, as soon as he landed the right cross, it was over

George Foreman, his KO Victory over Frazier and Moorer are the best IMO ;)

mike tyson...

Ray Robinson's left hook.

Mike Tyson's left hook or right cross. Call 9-11 :)

hearns right straight/hook. dont know exactly what to call it, but when it landed flush it was good night

yeah that's right. it was like a sledgehammer of a right straight that hit Duran flush on the chin, he just fell like a timber.

Lewis had a pretty mean uppercut as well as Wlad has a mean left hook.

Roy Jones' left hook. It was so good, that he was able to dispense with the jab as a setup shot and went on to become the fighter of the 1990s.

Julian Jackson, believe both hands, but especially his right (see Herol Graham).

Of his 55 wins 49 on KO.

(His poor eye sights was his Achilles heel I think)

[QUOTE=KJ]Julian Jackson, believe both hands, but especially his right (see Herol Graham).

I agree with KJ.

Jackson could knock world class guys UNCONSCIOUS, with either hand.

I would say Tyson's right uppercut or Tommy Hearns right cross

Currently: the 3 T's

Tito
Tszyu
Tyson

Currently: the 3 T's

Tito
Tszyu
Tyson
I'll go with that.

I'll go with that.


The best punches in the sport right now are....

the left hooks of Trinidad & Corrales...the right hand of Tszyu...the straight left of Pacquiao....& several of Rafael Marquez's shots.

i heard Rafa is really a BIG hitter and i see him demolished Tim Austin...

does he have power in both hands, which one of his punches is the most devastating??? :confused:

Max Schmelings left hook to the chin is great. So he has beaten Joe Louis 1932!!! Great

Schmeling had no left hook whatsoever.
He was reknowned for his right hand, & it was that punch that did ALL of the damage to Louis....finished him, also.

So, not only do you list a German because you're biased.....you list the wrong info.

That KO was frightning!!! Jackson was a really a great puncher!

Other good weapons: Tyson´s overhand right, Lewis´uppercut, Hearns´straight right, Tua left hook.

Dempseys left hook against that big giant he fought, cant remember that guys name but i think dempsey knocked most of his teeth out.

Wlad's left hook!

mayorga over the top right hand (the one he connected on six head lewis)

tito's left

wlad left

but i think nothing can touch hearns hook and especially tyson's uppercut when he connect it jsut right and right on ur chin or on the side of ur chin..its lights out

Mike tyson... Both fist send you to the canvass :p

Mike Tyson's left hook on Bonecrusher Smith, Tyson's uppercuts on Marvis Frazier, and Tyson's right straight on Francois Botha!

mike tyson...

i agree... mike tyson in his prime poured in the most brutal punches i had seen in boxing. the one that landed on trevor berbick's chin was unforgiving

Mike Tyson's punch

I'll take Hearns's Jab and right straight, Mike Tyson's hooks and uppercuts, Mickey Ward's left hook to the liver.

Now this fighter had some serious bums and over the hill opponents on his record, but he had to be one of the most brutal k.o. artist of recent times and that is Prince Naseem Hamed!

ahh yes micky ward's body punch sucked...those look so painful..it mkae me think its me thats getting hit :o

Any Julian Jackson power punch!!!

Joe Louis' right hand was pretty much perfect.

Any Jack Dempsey punch.

Tyson...right uppercut

One specific right hand that rocks the house is Maskaev's on Rahman, man I get so much enjoyment out of watching the replay on that. Then his lowlife fans start rioting in the stands and throwing chairs because they are ****ing jerk-offs!!

hearns shouldve been arrested for what he did to duran. imo that win sealed hearns as possibly the greatest offensive fighter ever. no one before or afterwards ever came close to doing that to duran, not leonard, hagler, barkley etc etc. the second knockdown hearns hit him with a right to the body that made him pop up in the air. i had to see that shizzle in slow motion to actually see the punch land it was so damn quick. and of course the sledge hammer that bent him in half.

Tommy Hearns's straight right hand.

And Micky Wards left hook to the body.

ward's liver buster scares cirrhosis away

Of all time? It's hard to say. The most effective weapon and hardest punch are not necessarily the same thing. I like to believe that the 2 hardest heavyweight left hooks of all time belonged to Joe Frazier and Floyd Patterson, but neither was really a one punch knockout artist. Tommy Hearns' right hand,Tua's left hook, Shavers' right hand, Tyson's uppercut, and Tito's left hook were all memorable trade mark shots, but to pick one is very difficult.

Tyson had the same ****ing power in any punch. Left hook, right cross, left or right uppercuts. Therefor i pick him.

Julian Jackson, believe both hands, but especially his right (see Herol Graham).

Of his 55 wins 49 on KO.

yup, i agree fully. Julian Jackson was and still is one of my favorite fighters. too bad he finished his career with a handful of losses. either way i think he was great. and one of the hardest hitting fighters in the history of the sport.....with either hand too......

Sam Peter and Wlad pack a pretty good punch...

You're right, his KO over Graham was nasty.. it wasn't even a haymaker, more like a regular hook..

shavers right cross was amazing, the way he pounded ali was amazing but unfortunately he would sit back and let whoever he was fighting regain their composure!

foreman could deliver a punch from anywhere and it had massive power uppercuts, hooks, haymakers(his speciality) his biggest mistake was underuse of his truely amazing jabs they shake an opponents head almost as much as a cross from any other heavyweight and yet he barely used it! and he didn't use his uppercuts enough on his second coming.

tyson may not have the power of the other two but his hooks come fast and they brng friends! He has some of the hardest combinations i have seen and the ability to finish an injured opponent in the most brutal way!
