    Hearns, Louis, SRR, Lewis, Foreman stand out to me as ATGs. All had powerful, fast, clean right hands. You didn't want to be hit by one.

    Not sure I would put Floyd or Canelo in the ATG category, neither has that destructive power.

    Biggest in boxing currently... Gonna be some haters, but AJs right hand recently has been clean and seriously powerful. Don't think anyone else in boxing right now, has shown that destructive power and quality. He almost killed a man in his last fight.

    Straight left... Usyk. Not the power. But the man can land it against anyone, its obviously deceptively strong and his footwork helps to make it a thing of beauty.

      leaping left hook

      maybe ROY

        By what standards? Talking current guys, Crawford, Bivol, Bam Rodriguez, Usyk, Loma, and Chocolatito all have very educated straight punches. Inoue ought to be in the conversation as well, since he's got that power in addition to the skills.

        Was impressed by what I saw from Bakole recently, but we don't know what he'll look like against better competition. AJ is very destructive. Wilder, but we saw how he looked when the competition stepped up, and if we're talking skill or technique, he's right out. Big **** Zhang has a very deceptive cross and power in both hands.

        Does Beterbiev's looping behind the ear punch count? That's his money punch. Tank Davis has power in both hands, although again, we don't know how he'll look against better competition. Maybe Junto Nakatani?

          [QUOTE=Blond Beast;n32339526] 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./QUOTE]

          Floyd Mayweather threw each and every punch perfect, the right was a thing of beauty. Cory had a beautiful left, Rigondeaux was a sniper with the left so does Lara.

            floyd by a mile... canelo's right is kinda like a looping right, it doesnt look that clean imo, whereas for floyd, it's a quick straight right almost like a jab.

              Canelo knocked James Kirkland down in the 1st round with a beautiful feint, left hook to the body, and a straight right down the pipe.

                    Easy sh1 to say when your watching on your couch LOL. Floyd stopped throwing hard after breaking his hand so many times. He still made canelo look bad with it.
