Best Right Hand Counterpunch?

[Yusuf T.]

Floyd is beautiful to watch when he throws a right hand over his opponent's jab...but I prefer watching Toney roll his shoulders to make a guy miss his right, then come back with his own right. Remember the first Montell Griffin fight? He hit Griffin on the point of the chin and had dancing all over the right...too bad he didn't finish him

The one Gatti hit ward with in their 2nd fight.

But honestly Floyd, his straight right hand is absolutely amazing

i'll go with floyd because in his prime, imo at 140 he was vicious with it and could throw it from any angle. toney is a close second because he had a lot of leverage but floyd was just more accurate with his. toney threw his good but usually from one angle, but with floyd, he could throw it from off the ropes well and in the middle of the ring well. hopkins was decent with his, but it really didn't stand out imo as floyd and james did. floyd was a brilliant counterpuncher at 130 and he had knockouts with it also. a good example of floyd's counter would have to be when he fought phillip n'dou and knocked him out in the 7th round, he moved at the exact right time and waited until phillip's jab reached the point where he was vulnerable to a right counter. floyd was just amazingly accurate with his right counters, hell he could counter with a left hook also, like he did against gatti and judah to name a couple, but his right hand was just placed better than toney's and hopkins and he could throw it very accurately in the pocket also. he's my choice.

The Philip N'dou fight showed the best of Floyd's right hand counter.

That KO was pretty sweet.

Ask hatton!

After the fight and all those slow mo head snapper right hand counter punches fresh in my mind.....pretty tough not to vote for PBF.
(much as I hate to) but hey... credit where credits due!

I have to say James Toney, PBF is quicker but James Toney's is more deceptive he throws is from so many different angles.

i have to disagree, toney threw his counters from different angles but not his right hand counter, he usually stepped in when he threw it, not saying that he always threw it like this, but usually he did. floyd's counter came from a block a lot in his prime or just a dodge and throwback, but he could land it whether his opponent's threw combinations or one punch. he did in the 5th round against de la hoya on the ropes and it buckled oscar. floyd way much more accurate than toney with counter right hands. watch the fight with justin jukko and toney pep. floyd is a very accurate counter puncher with his right hand. toney sometimes threw his sloppy but usually it was on point, but versatillity wise, floyd takes it, hands down. i watched toney versus griffin, and i think this was where he showed his countering skills the most, and he had griffin confused as **** with it, but floyd overall was just more precise and accurate with his, not to mention faster and dominating with his just like he was with his left hook, he countered amazingly with his left hook and his right hand.

Those punches really didn't hurt Hatton that bad though. The left hook was the one that ended that fight.

I actually was not aware that Floyd had that much power in his left hook when he sat down on it, and I've seen all his fights. Other than Corrales, it has never been a real stellar fight changer.

you do know he has knockout from left hook counters like early on in his career when he knocked the **** out of his opponent(i forgot his name) with a vicious counter left hook, and he landed many on them on gatti and corley, especially gatti where he countered the **** out of him with his left hook in the 4th round.

Yeah, but his left hook hasn't really been a big punch since he beat Genaro Hernandez (I don't know what fight you are talking about by the way, early in the career or when?).

Toney has a better counter right hand especially on the inside. PBF uses more of his quickness and throws more LEAD right hands. Toney definitely likes to setup guys for that counter right, he has great torque with it and doesn't need a lot of room to throw it.
