That throws excellent uppercuts. I've seen him throw some that just seems like they would've ripped Floyd and Lara's head right off if they would've landed. Trout ate a bunch of them, I don't think any was on the chin. He reminds me of the uppercuts I use to throw with sub-zero when I would play mortal kombat .Can u guys think of anyone that still uses uppercuts often?
Guerrero has been using a hell of a lot of them since he started brawling. I do agree that Canelo's are straight out of a video game. His whole style has become very exciting to watch
He normally throws it in a really ugly fashion, but sometimes it's a thing of beauty...

really? i always thought canelo kind of telegraphs his uppercuts, brings them down too low and also reaches at the end of the punch leaving himself vulnerable for counters.
the punch that takes someones head fo is the punch he doesnt see, and canelo doesnt do a good job of hiding his uppercuts for the most part.
marquez, judah and rigo all have great uppercuts. lara too when he uses it.
Hmm you must not watch very much then.
Berto, Broner, BHop, Floyd, Rigo, Danny Garcia and a few others have really good uppercuts.
I do see berto and broner throwing them when counter punching, I never really notice hop or Floyd using it, rigo leaves his opponents standing there frozen like Floyd, to me Danny is known for the left or right hook, with canelo u know those are one of his punches u have to look out for, I guess with rigo, Floyd, and Bhop, they are smart enough to use the punch if they recognize it's open
Add Andrade to that list.
And I don't think Canelo has a good uppercut at all personally. He drops his hand before throwing it and leaps into it. He doesn't have the athleticism, speed or precision of a Roy Jones to get away with it. Horrible habit if you ask me. Only time I've ever seen him land it was against that punchbag Angulo
He landed it on Lara, cut him with it actually. He landed it on Trout. It lands!:usa:

That one that he landed when he feinted the left to the body and then turned it into an left uppercut was awesome.
Marquez, Matthysse, Gilberto Ramirez Sanchez
Donaire has a nice uppercut he uses from time to time, Froch has a savage uppercut to the solar plexus hes scored a few stoppages with.
Lucian Bute has a decent one too.
Maidana also throws vicious upper cuts when the opportunity presents itself.
He landed one great one vs Floyd, but never tried one again, it can be a great asset for him in the rematch if he uses it. He also stopped going to the body as much after round 5, but in saying that Maidana slowed down altogether after 6 rounds, his stamina has always been a bit of a problem.
JMM is awesome at the uppercut for sure, Canelo does throw some sickeningly good uppercuts as the OP said. Shame he froze vs Floyd though, the moment got to him, as Floyd says Canelo is better than Maidana but he did't perform better vs Floyd than Chino did for sure.
