punches that seem to be rarely used in boxing these days

[Mister Wolf]

Straight right or left to the midsection.

Yeah check hook isn't used much.


One of my favorite punches to be honest

Single shots...Jab to the chest also the uppercut to the solar plexus terribly painful shot if you're unfortunate enough to get caught with it while reaching.

The check hook-I see fighters just go backwards these days and not use the angle to sidestep and use the check hook, why is this punch rarely used if at all?

Hook off of the jab-This punch is very effective and I dont understand why it is not used in more combos

Leaping left hook-This is a beautiful punch that is hard to time with an athletic boxer with great timing

All great punches Larryx. I love hooks off the jab myself and leaping lefts.

Floyd was a master at the check hook.

I'll add one myself: the lead uppercut.

Leaping left hook-This is a beautiful punch that is hard to time with an athletic boxer with great timing

The leaping left hook. Now that is what made Sugar Shane Mosley famous. He used that punch to end both the Antonio Margarito, Fernando Vargas and Ricardo Mayorga fights by way of knockout. What a beautifully executed punch?

[PRINCEKOOL]

Well....

In general I think boxers are very poor at body punching these days. 'Ricky Hatton & Castillo' Where the last of the great body punchers. 'These are fighters that could win fights going to the body' I always enjoyed of Mike Tyson would wham to the body also.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

the straight jab to the body very few do it but its a great weapon.

I have not seen any Round House Kicks or Spinning Back Fists in what seems like forever. It pretty much explains why Chuck Norris is on the short list of the greatest boxers of all time.

[A.K]

The sugar ray wind up punch, it was more of a show off thing but when it was landed it won rounds. Haven’t seen anyone attempt it in a while.

Straight right or left to the midsection.

I remember Floyd used that to end Sharmba Mitchell.
