From what I've seen: (I haven't seen that much yet!)
-Jab: Thomas Hearns - Hearns vs Shuler
Probably the fastest punch I've ever seen.
-Right hand: Joe Louis - Louis vs M. Baer
Textbook right hand starting from the chin without pulling it back first.
Short and devestating punch.
-Left hook: Ray Robinson - Robinson vs Graziano
Beautiful double wide left hooks often followed by a right hand.
1. Do you find my list reasonable?
2. What's yours? Also name the fight that convinced you.
That's a sweet right hand indeed Terrible.
As for Tommy Morrison's left hook, it indeed was devestating but maybe a little bit too wild for my taste. Robinson also threw alot of wide hooks but he was so quick that he got away with it.
imo Morisson and Frazier have the same type of left hook only Frazier throws it more often and better. Also Tua's left hook is amazing ofcourse.
I forgot to mention uppercuts btw...
Who threw the best uppercuts you've ever seen and what fight convinced you?
Lennox Lewis and Roberto Duran come to mind for me...

Best jab for is either Holmes or Hearns
best right hand is Alexis Arguello
Cheers for the vid. I think Shuler died soon after this. Not sure if it was due to the KO?
He indeed died shortly after but it wasn't related to the KO.
Shuler always wanted a motorbike, so he bought it with the money he earned from his fight vs Hearns.
Shortly afterwards he died in an accident...
Hearns then attended Shuler's funeral where he gave back the belt he had won of Shuler. Hearns said it was truely Shuler's belt as he held it for a longer time.
Any vids of the Hearns Shuler KO? I remember the fight (was it on the undercard of Hagler Mugabi?).
Sure mate,
I have no idea about the details though. I only started following boxing recently.
