      I'll say Ward cause he wins all of his fight by using just the lead hand.

          IMO DeLa Hoya had the best lead i've seen besides Tommy Loughran.

          Good pick, Ward like Oscar is a converted Orthodox.

          I thought about Holmes, but i don't recall much action with his left besides that great jab.

              -Wlad's lead is crazy good, like a swarm of hornets in your face.
              -Ward's is great because of the offensive abilities, and extraordinary because of the way he turns/moves opponents, parries, blinds, etc, all with that lead hand.
              -Hearns lead was overlooked because of his amazing right. Consider his lead (left) the lightning before the thunder (his right).
              -DLH did just about everything incredibly well but the ability to work hooks off the jab and such gave him one of the most coordinated lead hands ever.
              -Goes without saying that Ali's ability to use the lead while in motion was spectacular, but what really made his lead hand special was the timing. Frequently stuffing it in faces right as the opponent attempted to attack.

                Tommy Hearns and vitali... Both could dominate with just one hand, even though both were skilled with both hands
