The straight right lead!

MELLYMEL18y ago

pbf's dominance is keyed by his lead right hand! it was a thing of beauty against hatton. who do you feel if anyone has thrown this punch either as good as, or perhaps better than money?

FLoyds lead right is the best in the game today, but Roy and Ali's lead rights were things of beauty.

Wilfredo "Bazooka" Gomez. I loved the way he threw a hard jab behind it instead of the left hook.

The right cross > straight right hand lead

bernard hopkins also has a great right hand lead. RJJ as well

18y ago

Gotta love that sh!t when Roy would lean forward with his hands straight out from each other, get the other guy to mimic him and then catch him with a straight right lead.

those weren't lead right hands from floyd, they were counter right hands. find the video from the fight with floyd and castillo 2 in the 10th round where floyd landed three lead right hands on him, or the video with gatti in pretty any round.lol. i love gatti. he landed lead right hands in those fights. The first one was a counter, then next 3 or so weren't. Floyd threw quite a few straight right leads in the Hatton fight.

Jones had one of the best right hand leads..

18y ago

I Always thought Mayweathers right hand lead was Identical to Ali's. Compare those weren't lead right hands from floyd, they were counter right hands. find the video from the fight with floyd and castillo 2 in the 10th round where floyd landed three lead right hands on him, or the video with gatti in pretty any round.lol. i love gatti. he landed lead right hands in those fights.

I just got done watching the Calzaghe/Eubank fight. I know people claim that Eubank was shot, but damn he threw a mean sneaky right hand lead many, many times in that fight, fast as hell too. he most certainly did!

18y ago

Hopkins is pretty good at it, Roy Jones was awesome at it, Eubank had the best sneak right hand ever, and Chavez was the balls I just got done watching the Calzaghe/Eubank fight. I know people claim that Eubank was shot, but damn he threw a mean sneaky right hand lead many, many times in that fight, fast as hell too.

Thomas Hearns, not really a lead but it was P4P the most powerful right straight I have ever seen.
