most effective punch in boxing?

[CaLLaHaN]

definatly the jab.... But i love seeing people get hit with counter left hooks...

[hemichromis]

i have a great jab, strong and quick but by fav punch is the left hook because i can bring it in with only 6-12" of movement and still hurt

[ROSEWOOD]

jabs?
right hands?(left)
hooks?
uppercuts?
body shots?

what do u think,i spose it all depends on ur style,but what do u feel is most effective for u?

I would have to go with the jab.....then the body shot...Jabs simply wear down the face, making it say i cant take no mo of this ****...body blows take away all your energy, wind, etc..

The most effective punch is an overhand right cross-hook-uppercut on the southpaw stance.

Of course not a lot of people are southpaws.

It neutralizes jabs and makes them useless tools, the entry point of attack is always unpredictable and you can hit your opponent at just about every angle.

The jab. Eveything comes off the jab.

body shots

I would go with a good jab and good body work. Body work,to me, is the best.

The most effective punch? The one that got some kick to it.
But seriously, the jab is the most important. Without the jab its not boxing.

this is true, but you can knock a man down with any punch, there isn't one that's more effective than the other, it just depends on who you're fighting i guess.

This question is a bit vague. If you mean "The most effective punch in boxing for knock outs," then its either an uppercut or hook, regardless of hit location. Reason for this is because they carry the highest force-to-momentum ratio in relation to your first and the other guy's movement. Note: I'm not speaking of the "inside" version of these two punches, but rather the hip-twisting version that occurs at medium distance and is executed appropriately with regards to time.

If you mean "what is the most effective point-scoring punch in boxing," then the jab is the easy answer. As someone said earlier, it disrupts timing, sets up punches, and its the easiest to land.
