Best Straight Right In The Game?

[BattlingNelson]

Yes I said best straight right in the game today. If you disagree state your reasons please. I certainly wouldn't want to cause you anguish with my opinion.

When I Think about great straight right hands, i immidiately Think concussive force combined with swift execution. Floyd may have the latter but certainly not the former.

Its not like the game today is littered with great right hand punchers, but out of the current crop I figure Wlad to be on top. Pavlik and Kessler deserves mention as well.

Alexis Arguello may be up there with the very best.

Alexis threw a beautiful straight right.

floyd's straight = accurate but not lethal

his elbow on the other hand = deadly

Alexis threw a beautiful straight right.

Possibly the best I've seen. Certainly up there.

He threw it in such an artistic way, with such accuracy and timing, along with ridiculous power.

I kind of figured that's what you were thinking. Floyd throws his straight right with "surgical precision," as the TS stated. But I tend to agree with you.

Thomas Hearns' straight right hand carried knockout power from 147lbs. all the way to Heavyweight. Based on that alone, it's the best straight right in the history of the sport.

Overhand right is another story, but straight right hand = Tommy Hearns.

Perfectly stated. ****, I might have to change my vote for Hearns! lol (JK)

One of the reasons why I always liked the moniker "The Motor City Cobra" was because it seemed such a visually accurate description of Tommy's punching. Hearns would throw that straight right with cobra-like speed, precision and deadly effect...almost like a bull-whip.
