    Prettiest Punch In Boxing?

    I think Floyd's jab to his opponents stomach is the cleanest and most technical punch in boxing right now. You can just see it taking a toll on the other fighter, then as soon as they start trying to defend against it, BAM! they get hit across the head with a sweeping right hand.

    Yours?

    That straight right hand is one of the most beautiful and powerful punch I've ever seen

      A couple come to mind:

      Cotto's power Jab: Its the only thing he does that you can label as "fast". It's tricky, it comes in full force, and its his power hand.

      Floyd's straight right: He loads up starting from his right foot through his legs, hips, shoulders, wrist, fist, BOOM. Lightning fast and perfect form.

      JMM's counter straight: See Manny KO, 'nuff said.

      Danny Garcia: Counter Hook: kid puts everything into that punch. It's damn near a haymaker if not for his proper footwork.

          Standard straight right hand that they teach you to throw when you have your first gym session, nothing special about the technique.

            I know i'm going to get a lot of stick for this probably, but lately I've been loving George Groves' left jab. That's a really sweet peach of a punch.

            GGGs left is awesome as well.

              Technique is superior, and you know it. That standard right hand knocked most of his opponents out so he must be doing something right...

                I prefer Mayweathers straight right lead, the speed and distance he can throw and land it from is amazing,

                  Ever? Tommy Hearns hands down! his lazer sharp, piston like jab makes a true boxing fan jyzz. his left hook was incredible as well.

                    The power is the affect of the punch, this thread is about the best looking punch not the affect, there's nothing special about how Wlad throws the straight right at all. That's why he waits until his opponent is half dead before throwing it.
