    I Never think of Tommy havin a good hook to the body but yeah ur right on the money there!
    Floyd i always credit for his body work.


    Another punch that gets under rated is David Hayes left hook, its a peach but his Big Right hand gets all the credit

        Absaloutley, people tend to think of him as just an animal brawler type, same with Hagler because of the Hearns fight

          I always liked Joe Frazier's jab

          also thought I'd mention that Marvin Hagler's defense was underrated. He was pretty good at parrying punches

              I agree with Floyd's bodywork. Very underrated.

                again.. he does get credit for it, but not as much as he should... titos right hand. everyone knew he had a deadly left hook. but his right was deadly aswell. u can see william joppy pretty much just looking for the hook, and tito hurt him several times with the right.

                vernon forrests right hand, everyone knows its his best punch, but ppl underestimate how good a punch it really is. only person i ever seen hurt shane mosley. one of the best punches anyone could throw in his generation.

                  Honestly, it's the same thing with Cotto. Except Cotto's right hand is even more effective than Tito's was IMO. Cotto's right cross is very, very good.

                    George Foreman's footwork in his younger days and even in his older days in spurts was very underrated, he was surprisingly good at cutting off the ring using his feet at his very best.

                      joe fraziers defense and boxing skills.

                      everyone knows ali taunted him for supposably not having any, and everyone knows he was very good at slipping, bobbing and weaving to get inside. but if u watch his second fight with foreman, a fight were he completely changed style. bounced on his toes, used the ring and counterpunched.. he did a great job! he did get caught and stopped, but **** happens. point is his defense and boxing ability is underrated, by everyone. not just ali before their first fight.
