    Fighters that were incredibly good at neutralising the right hand.

    Yea, questions in the title.

    What fighters were great at taking away their opponents right hand, and can someone reccomend some fights were these fighters display this?

    Cheers

    The guy in your sig is or was pretty good at taking away right hands, he is/was great at taking away his opponents' strength period. James Toney, really good at slipping and taking away right hands in his prime.

    But basically, a good defensive fighter with the right movement should be what you're looking for, most of them should know how to take away an opponents' right hand and make them pay for it.

      Yea, Hopkins always has been incredible at taking his opponents best weapon away. I haven't seen a lot of Toney tbh, what fights would you reccomend?

        Toney-Barkley, Toney-Ruiz.

        No one counters the right cross like Toney.

            Sorry for the late reply but Tengoshi pretty much nailed it, those are the 2 fights that stand out.

                  Present day.. Hopkins, Toney & Chris Byrd.. Going back, Willie Pep & Nicolino Locche neutralized almost everything thrown at them..
