Left check hook battle: Holt’s vs. Floyd’s

[Rich Loc]

Which punch had the more power and which fighter has more power.

Holt is much bigger than PBF and that hook he hit with Bradley packed way more power than the one Floyd threw against Hatton
Holt also hits a lot harder

Mayweather is known to have glassy hands, I bet you his hands were broken after he ktfo out of Hatton. He probably retired because of his hand problems and took off from this sport a bit. Holts punch was beautiful, most 140 pounders would have not gotten up from that but Bradley is not most 140 pounders. I think Hatton and Malignaggi probably both would have been ko'd by a punch like that if it had landed on either of them.

I've never seen hatton hit by a puncher like that because he really hasn't fought too many hard-punchers in his career. And Holt doesn't just punch hard he is slick and punches hard. Theres no question that I think Holt could have landed that punch on Hatton.

There is a difference between well timed and a quick POWEFUL shot

Bradleys was a good shot. But Mayweathers was unreal and take into count the scale of the fight and level of opponent it makes it one of the best singe shots i have ever seen.

The punch that Holt landed was not a check hook. It was just a hook.

Was Bradley's shot even a "check" hook?


You have to vote for FMJ's simply because it effectively ended Hatton. Holt's? Not so much.

Exactly. For other examples of a "check hook", see Jones-Sheika.

Holts looked like it had more power behind it, but he hit a guy who has a better chin then hatton. Mayweathers looked like he caught Hatton with a punch Hatton never saw coming that looked great but I don't know if you can say it had as much power as Holts
