Thomas Hearns Best punch, it wasnt against Pipino Cuevas, or the overhand right to the jaw had Roberto Duran hit the canvas face first, No, In my opinion, It happened on March 10, 1986 on the undercard of Hagler-Mugabi, James Shuler, a rising middleweight from philadelphia with a record of 22-0 (16KOs) the fight lasted 73 seconds, Hearns connected with a long, right cross delivered in a flash, shuler dropped instantly and lay motionless, I did saw that fight on several occassions. Trainer Emmanuel steward recalled it was one of the most devastating knockouts he ever seen, shuler has his hands still up when he got knockout.
On a Sad note, 10 days after the fight, shuler died in an auto accident near his home.
