Whats the best punch you've ever seen in a contest and who threw it?
For me the best punch ive seen was Castillo's left hook that knocked Corrales down in the first fight the way he set it up with jabs to the body then he feinted low and came up high, that was a trademark Castillo left hook ive always admired how he threw it
Gonzalez's lead left hook that caught Mares was more impressive
There are so many but most recently, it has to be Gonzalez's left hook on Mares.
I have been dying to see the punch Rico Ramos landed on Carlos Velasquez this past weekend though. I heard it was "horrific". Never heard a punch described like that before.
Razor Ruddock KO Michael Dokes. Lead left hook after finding range with a jab. Dumbass ref didn't stop it straight away though.
yeah that was sweat & it's funny you bring up razor because I thought of him getting clocked by tommy Morrison's left hook...shocked he got up but that was pretty much the end of that...
Hearns right hand to starch Duran is my favourite. Others I like are Don Curry left hook against Milton McCrory, Mike McCallum's left hook to KO Don Curry, Tyson's uppercut to deck Ribalta.
There are so many, those are just the first ones that came to me.
Julian Jackson catching Terry Norris was the first Brutal KO I ever seen live, I was a little kid at the time but I remember it and I thought Norris was dead lol
This^^^^
Thats what I was gonna post, that punch scared me.
Also the straight right Floyd landed on hatton, he set him up by throwing a straight to the body purposely slow, purposely lunging, Hatton easily picked it offf then Floyd threw a lightning fast straight right to the face and snapped Hatton's head back and he collapsed onto him. It was beautiful. Ill try to find it....
...Here it is: start at 5:29
Out of respect to the recently deceased, I have to bring up Tommy 'the duke' Morrisons fight changing left hook v Donovan 'razor' Ruddiock. On the back foot, with an opponent rushing in, he lands a peach of a shot, perfectly timed and with the power to stop a rhino.
Donaire on Darchinyan
Donaire on Montiel
Amazing how many perfectly timed punches Donaire has had

"Best" to me doesn't necessarily mean hardest but the most well executed:

Trinidad had a serious of great punches landed but one that always stood out was the final blow he landed on Campas to end their fight. It looked like Yori's head was about to torpedo off his neck
