    Not one singular shot stands out to me, he looks equally powerful from either stance and has stopped guys with straight shots, hooks, uppercuts, even a jab in Brook’s case.

    What shot do you think it is?

      his southpaw hook?

      Most fighters worried about the southpaw left

      The southpaw hook isn’t a punch they have lotta training for

        Probably the right hook.

        He is able to get a lot of leverage off of the right hook when throws it immediately after the overhand left (while in southpaw)

        I watched his stoppage of Hammering Hank and Roy Jones Jr. hit the nail on the head when he said, "Thank God the right hook did not land."

          Additionally, Bud's punches do not necessarily look textbook, but they are very effective.


          I'm not going to say I am some old school historian, but the old videos I have seen of Sugar Ray Robinson when he is going in for the kill reminds me a lot of Bud.

          He will take chances and go toe to toe once he has his man hurt and even if he isn't hurt sometimes he will test it out.

          There have been previous pound for pound number ones: Hopkins, Floyd, and Jones Jr. who took a much more cautious approach...they were very effective as well though.

            Yeah possibly, always remember that nasty body hook he stopped John Molina with.

              He’s a hook artist. He throws more hooks than straight punches..Left or right, he’s very dangerous when it comes to throwing hooks. He nearly dissected Amir Khan in the first round with a few hooks.

                I sort of see what you mean, Ray loaded up a lot more than Crawford does when he had someone hurt though, Crawford is a bit more selective.

                Ray was a bigger puncher though so that is likely why.

                Bud reminds me of Leonard more than Robinson tbh.

                  I haven't watched any Leonard fights in years so I would have to check back to see if I see any similarities.

                  One thing that Bud does well is punch in between punches and he limits the chances someone has to counter him by throwing a power shot immediately after he finds himself left open.

                  For example, if he loads up on a left hand and misses, he is instinctively following up right a right hook.

                  Floyd used to do that sometimes too. It is very dangerous, however. If a fighter times in perfectly, it can mean goodnight.

                  Remember that time Corley timed TBE and threw an overhand left immediately after Floyd threw a hook and caught Floyd flush, despite Floyd trying to follow up with the right hand.
                  Money May did gather himself and took care of business. He had an embarrassed smile on his face that he let Corley catch him so he knocked him down in the same round.

                    He lands punches his opponents do not see coming. Those hurt more than just raw power shots that you can see.
