Who had the best punching style???

[gangland_kingpi]

in terms of the ideal puncher's STYLE... as in if i had natural dynamite in my hands and i had to pick a body type and primary form of delivery, i think it doesn't get any better than hearns.

blazing fast hands, and most importantly a slicing, rapid fire jab that'd keep the other guy out of his punching range, while at the same time being caught on the end of yours. the perfect offensive machine when needed to be.

Tyson's style could get offset by grabbers, and i don't like the fact that you have to always be on the front foot constantly.

Good point about Tyson, I don't want to piss anyone off but I think Tyson is overrated anyway. Yes he was a scary animal but we didn't get to see him fulfill his potential.

i'd say Thomas Hearns

it was awesome how he'd throw a combination of lethal,accurate haymakers from all angles
it was real tite watching him fight

remember pipino cuevas?
how he was staggering n then gets dropped that quick!

Hearns all day

Lennex Lewis by far, Ernie Shavers was someone else who could really ****.

[Verstyle]

for me tyson cause he threw them quick with power behind them and weight,plus leverage.i havnt seen alot of ppl put it all together

I definitely see your point.

I would have to say Joe Louis how ever. Nobody could punch with such a marvelous blend of precision, power and speed as could he. His style was nothing short of pure magic.

[Krucial]

Tyson and Louis had devastating combos, And Hearns was a wonder to watch also

[americanspirit]

Arguello's right hand was like Nolan Ryan's fastball.

Tyson's right to the body right uppercut double.

Mayweather lead left hook. Spidey!

De La Hoya left hook. Aaarryyuukkenn!


Hopkins Freddie Kreuger slicing combos is my combined style.

Again I agree with M26, that Joe Louis had the best punching style. His combos where fast ,accurate, and very deadly. Joe knew when it was time for you to go, and when the combos came they did indeed go.
