    Best jab / right hand / left hook ?

    From what I've seen: (I haven't seen that much yet!)

    -Jab: Thomas Hearns - Hearns vs Shuler
    Probably the fastest punch I've ever seen.

    -Right hand: Joe Louis - Louis vs M. Baer
    Textbook right hand starting from the chin without pulling it back first.
    Short and devestating punch.

    -Left hook: Ray Robinson - Robinson vs Graziano
    Beautiful double wide left hooks often followed by a right hand.

    1. Do you find my list reasonable?
    2. What's yours? Also name the fight that convinced you.

    Any vids of the Hearns Shuler KO? I remember the fight (was it on the undercard of Hagler Mugabi?).

      Sure mate,
      I have no idea about the details though. I only started following boxing recently.

        Cheers for the vid. I think Shuler died soon after this. Not sure if it was due to the KO?

              He indeed died shortly after but it wasn't related to the KO.
              Shuler always wanted a motorbike, so he bought it with the money he earned from his fight vs Hearns.
              Shortly afterwards he died in an accident...
              Hearns then attended Shuler's funeral where he gave back the belt he had won of Shuler. Hearns said it was truely Shuler's belt as he held it for a longer time.

                  Tommy Hearns had a great jab, so did/does Winky Wright.

                  Right hand? Gotta put Tommy up there again, he had a devastating right hand that shook basically everyone he ever faced excluding Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

                  Left hook? In modern times, I'd have to go with Tito or Oscar, both of whom had tremendous left hooks. Not sure about before this period though.
