Why don't more boxers attempt Superman punches?

    I repeat, Floyd and Roy Jones used the superman punch every other fight.

    You clearly never watched any of their fights if you don't know this.

    I'll even give you a clue about where to look. Check out Floyd vs Marquez or Floyd vs Mosley, or check out Roy Jones vs Ruiz at heavyweight.

    There were other fights where they used the superman punch but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

    You can also watched the Roy Jones "cant be touched" highlights video and see him repeatedly use the superman punch.

    And obviously I know what the difference is between the superman punch and a leaping left hook. I aint talking about no hook, I'm talking about a flying straight right hand, with both feet off the ground.

      Not only that but in mid air like that you're totally defenseless.
      Humans really are worthless creatures aren't they?
