        Mayweather's straight right is one of my favorite punches. So is Canelo. Adrien Broner has a good right hand.

          Floyd’s lead right hand was one of the best punches in boxing history. Everyone knew he was going to throw it but it was never neutralized. It’s what stopped people from bum rushing him or walking him down. You can say Floyd didn’t hit really hard but then you have to explain how he didn’t have to. It was fast, sharp, accurate and could counter. Everyone knew it’s what he threw, but it was always better than they expected. There’s a reason everyone threw less punches when they fought Floyd. They connected less too. The first counter lead right his opponents took always made them check themselves.

          With Canelo I think Hooks, not necessarily straight shots. Hooks up and down until fighters start to anticipate or dip and then he throws uppercuts as they fall into them.

          Straight left hand has to be Corey Sanders at heavy anyway.

              punch where Floyd is undoubtedly the GOAT

              his stab jab downstairs

              Floyd was the best at his favorite variations of the 3 main punches

              body jab

              pullcounter

              check hook

              No bolo punch though. Never saw him throw a bolo upper

                manny was so discouraged and deflated after round 1 in the corner after taking 2 or 3 right hands from Floyd

                I don’t think he expected Floyd to be that damn good

                  I couldn’t agree with you more. I loved watching both fighters. I always want the best man to win. Id never want to see any fighter get robbed even against one of my favourites.
                  Floyd would usually land a few clean rights early and it would get the respect. Getting countered hurts the most. Everyone’s output goes down against him. Jab to the body. Check hook. There’s a price to pay. He was also very strong against the ropes. Often dodging most shots then landing something clean for your troubles. I was lucky enough to be at the Zab Judah fight with my family. We always thought Zab’s speed would be difficult and it was at first. I still think Zab scored that KD with the glove touch. Floyd said Zab was a front runner and he proved it.
                  I always thought he’d beat Manny. Floyd fought plenty of lefties. Output goes down. Manny was frustrated early. You don’t see that, but that’s because he had never been in with Floyd. Everyone always admits after fighting him that he was better than they thought he was.
                  “Tune in to see me Win, Tune in to see me lose, Tune in to see me lose”. People had to watch just to see if he’d lose. In a way he made being undefeated matter so much it kind of had a negative effect on boxing for a while. Also the long marination of the manny fight then it still doing insane numbers also set a kind of a bad precedent. Not his fault. Just byproducts. If Floyd lost one fight even early in his career he’d never be worth the same.

                    He dropped corales with a leaping left hook, he can do it he doesn't like to take risks though, think only other fight he did a leaping left might be vs gatti. When he knows he won't get countered

                      Best straight (left) today I think is usyk , he's very accurate, finds good angles, over comes reach and height advantages
