One handed fighters

[cotto16]

Ike quatey was jab, jab, jab, then maybe right hand, larry holmes won most of his fight just useing the jab, as does winky wright, dean franis can only use one hand and has still manged to become a top ten fighter any one else?

[Jambo boy]

Great tactic, you don't see many great fighters who don't use the jab.
It's gotta be one of the best punches in your arsenal IMO.

Any one else?

Well Frazier and Cooper were two guys who just always relied on their left hook to win fights.

Gerry Cooney and early Oscar De La Hoya.

Yeah Cooney. Worked almost exclusively with his left. Hook, jab uppercut. Was he a leftie turned orthodox btw?

I believe that he was, but I'm not 100% certain.

I wouldn't go so far as to call Larry Holmes a "one-handed fighter".

He had a great, great left jab, but he also had a very good straight right hand and right uppercut as well. The right uppercut is what might have saved him against Mike Weaver.



Holmes would sometimes throw a looping right hand around his opponent's gloves, then follow it up with a right uppercut between the gloves.
