Best straight left of all time

Zab Judah man! Where's his shout at!? his left uppercut was bomb...not so much his straight..i mean it was bad ass, but the left uppercut is his shit

I enjoy many other fighters. But I don't only like Floyd "the fighter". ...I got a thing for Floyd "the man" too. the ****..........

Considering Pacquiao KOed Barrera when he was left hand happy. Dropped JMM 3 times with it, and all his prior fights basically were left hand dominant. This straight left alone of his got him amazing success before he became a more complete fighter. I can't think of any other fighter that had just amazing success off 1 punch against the highest of opposition than that. I mean, when you have a punch that fighters go nuts to avoid or prepare a strategy specifically to avoid it, you know it's that good.

Off the top of my head I'd say Pac. Not the best all time southpaw period, but simply the speed/power/effect of his str8 left.

I agree with this. Plus some may NOT agree but after watching almost every Pernell Whitaker fight I've learned that Whitaker's body punches were his best weapon. The body punches he threw against Chavez were ****ing cringe worthy man! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/slotff/box_g_chavez_whitaker_sq_300.jpg

To tell u the truth, I dont think I have ever watched that fight all the way through, from 1 to 12. But even if I had I dont have the patience to actually score fights. I know that when it was over and we were waiting, I was thinking it was going to be a draw or a one or two point fight either way. It's hard to tell though when u are IN a fight...how it FEELS and how it LOOKS arent always the same thing That's why I'm always so confused when people throw a fit after the fight when they think they should have gotten a 115-113 decision... like Taylor-Wright. Anyone who is in a fight should not ever be certain that they won 7 rounds beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Out of pure curiosity Iceman, if you have scored the fight (I am assuming you have), what is the score that you come out of it with most?

Whitaker, Pacquiao and Casamayor..all great straight lefts.. Whitakers was the cleanest, Pacquiao's probably had the most power..Casamayor 50/50

on a lesser scale a certain fast South African Heavyweight, im sure you know who i mean :lol1: Co Sand is not a bad call.

One thing is that I watched tapes of him, saw his straight left, his good countering ability, so I made sure to keep my hands up at all times, stay focused, and try to pick my shots to punch when he wasnt ready for it. I outlanded him, yes, and he was very busy in there. Good fight overall i thought I don't ever score, I was just criticizing the fact that the closest scorecard was 18-10... that was ridiculous.

I didn't see that great straight left against Scully... Maybe I missed it and that's the reason he won 11 out of the 12 rounds... Apparently that straight left was so good that it was able to make up for the fact that you outlanded him in most rounds. Hmm...

This one was second to none :) I was just going through his record and who's name do I see on there? John Scully LOL. I'll watch it when I get the chance but how you feel about the fight? "ESPN reported the blows as Nunn 373/1291 29%, Scully 389/689 48%. " Does that tell the whole story?

Michael Nunn (against Kalambay!!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyNrFLiIpiE This one was second to none :)

I know pacman has a great left but I'm looking for slightly older fighters. I'm fairly new to boxing and I know very little about most fighters from even a decade ago. Michael Nunn (against Kalambay!!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyNrFLiIpiE Wow, that had a nasty thud on it. Never seen a Nunn fight but I'm going to have to look into him more.

Against Hurtado, Pea had a MEAN left hand. It took like 100,000 to get him out of there though... and his hands were down.

It sure as hell does, Pacquiao used to be a one handed fighter and his straight left was the only real weapon he had. Exactly:boxing:
