      Oh, the fights I've seen Foreman in he would barely use it. Guess I need to catch up more.

        Iron Mike had the most viscious uppercut. Razor Ruddock and Kid Chocolate had punches that simulated uppercuts that were also viscious.

        Of course present day JMM is king. He probably has one of the best ever because he can begin and finish combos with it. Hell the guy uses it as a lead punch and that's a no no technically.

        Judah when he can land it has the best counter uppercut you'll ever see. He's too obvious with it though...

          The only five that immediately pop into my head are Antonio Margarito, Juan Manuel Marquez, Mike Tyson, Earnie Shavers, and Joe Frazier.

            ...what fights have you seen Foreman in? it was a clear weapon against Frazier and Norton, which are his two best victories.

              Holyfield, Moorer, Ali, and Morrison are the ones I remember. For some reason I never got around to seeing the entire George Foreman career set, and I have it downloaded on my HDD too.

                  The uppercut that caused the 2nd knockdown in the first Frazier fight was one of the best I've ever seen. It was all but over after that.

                  Currently Margarito's left uppercut is one of the best.

                    Carlos Monzon threw a beautifully timed uppercut when he chose to throw it.

                    Hurt Emile Griffith to the body and the head in there fights.

                      Iam surprised nobody mentioned Lennox Lewis Im not even a fan of him but the way he used his range to set up those Right Uppercuts was masterfull.
