Best Punching Technique

[dinggloveson]

No love for Alexis Arguello? The guy was near picture perfect with his technique.

I am with you on Alexis Arguello, he was an animal just running through his opponents taking all the punches and handing out devastating blows!!

[The_untouchable]

Joe Louis... Recently cotto and finito Lopez

[them_apples]

Name boxers current and from the past who have the best and/or proper punching technique

Alexis Arguello
Julio Cesar Chavez
Marvin Hagler
heres a different one : Joe frazier. He threw his clean

[The Iron Man]

Most names have already been mentioned but I always liked the way Holyfield threw his punches, really sat down on them.

Upper cut...Mike Tyson

Jab ... Wlad klitchko


Left hook ..... Tommy Morrison


Over hand right.....Lennox Lewis


Straight Right....Wlad Klitchko


Body shot.... Mike Tyson


Best off beat punch....super Macho Man



Overall best punch technique/everything..... Holyfield

Technique is subject to style and the fighter....so its all speculative who it favors more over another. Pure technical ability and form is listed above.

Good picks, not in p4p i believe

Im not sure who you would get to make a better example of each technique or study from...one would study these guys in executing perfect technique as reference,also setting up the foot position on how they placed themselves for the punch..

[lazy]

1. Joe Louis
2. Robinson
3. Hearns

Real good list.

[PivotandRoll]

Frampton/Canelo/Chaves...All very similar, all throw beautiful framed punches...

I can't be bothered to do each punch, but for uppercuts I've always considered Marquez to have some of the best uppercuts in the biz. Great all round combination puncher too. Tyson put everything into a lot of his shots, body and uppercuts. Today, Eubank jr is looking good on uppercut technique, as is Nicholas Walters.

The combination work and uppercuts by Marquez in this fight are excellent:



Most Marquez fights are a showcase of technique.

One of the best EVER. I rate him higher than Floyd and Manny tbh. Imagine if he had their crazy next level athleticism.
