      some of you guys need to rethink the definition of a "leaping" left hook.
      True, when I brought up Frazier my mind was solely stuck on left hook. When you think about it not many fighters leaped in with left hooks, with good reason as well.

        i think that's fair. joe frazier and "leap" should never be in the same sentence

          Go back and look at Mayweather vs Corrales, Floyd's leaping left hook was like a cobra strike. He hasnt used it much in recent years, he uses the check hook.

          But id have to say RJJ is most known to land a leaping left hook at will. He was amazing in his time.

              Jump to the 1 minute mark, Floyd shows glimpses of it, lands a couple of them

                  great angle to see floyd's footwork.

                  i was a bit further back than that, but i had a great perspective for getting an appreciation of how well mayweather uses the ring when i saw him live. supreme ring general. one of the best ever. his use of the ring is unreal.

                      Roy Jones Jr.
                      Tyson
                      Floyd

                      Those are my favorites.
