Underrated Punches/Arsenals

[THE REED]

Floyds jab to the body is great, I have always noticed that. He likes to leap forward with the jab to the body to bring the opponents hands down and then immediately come with a right hand, once the guard is lowered.

Wlad's left hook, he doesn't unleash it much but he has a sneaky left hook and sets up the right hand behind it well.

Roy Jones' right hook to the body, he used it well in his prime, especially against southpaws but the most graphic display of that right hook was against Virgil Hill.

Yeah... I remember in the first Tarver fight how Foreman commented how Roy throws it like he is slicing you with a knife.

Wladimir has an amazingly short left hook for a fighter his size.

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.

Yeah, that's part of the reason Ali went to the ropes.

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.

Frazier's defense at 3:30 is one of my favorite defensive sequences ever.

People often say "Ali dominated the first 4-5 rounds in Manila, then Frazier the middle portion, than Ali the end portion".

More or less yeah, but not round 3.

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.

I disagree, i think Trinidad's Right hand was a far better weapon than Cotto's.
Its not Miguels strong arm tho he a natuaral Lefty. Plus its weakend from that car crash a lil bit. He is very accurate with it tho, he should throw it a little bit more i think, he mainly uses it in his combinations

Tito's long right hand turned the fight around against Vargas. Everyone remembers his nut shots, but Vargas even dominated the 5th round after he dropped Tito in the 4th then took a blow to the balls.

Late in round 6, he turned the momentum back in his favor with a right hand.

Another part of Floyd's game that gets under rated is how he fights on the inside (that includes the body work already mentioned). People consider him an outside boxer but to me he prefers to be on the inside, inside the arc of his opponents power while he is still able to get off short sweet shots (with the help of some well placed forearms).
