Larry Holmes's jab.

Manny Pacquaio's left cross.

George Foreman's wrecking ball right.

Floyd Mayweather's jab to the body. (Perhaps the most underrated punch in history.)

Good shout.

'The Smash', as it was dubbed. Have never seen a fighter before or since use that shot which such regularity and crushing effectiveness.

The Ingemar Johansson right hand, so famous it had several nicknames, including "toonder and lightning” "Hammer of Thor" and Ingo's Bingo.

Ingo Bingo'd Our 'Enry Cooper with a right hand like the crack of doom. Henry always said the Swede moved him around the out door ring until the sun was in his eyes, then bang, and he remembers waking up in the dressing room 10 minutes later.

dont think froch's 'hadoken' should be mentionned in a thread like this, because I imagine the proviso of a signature punch is that it actually lands on quality opponents with regularity

With that said

Vladimirs Jab and Straight Right
Haye's Overhand Right
Tua's left hook
