Ah yes... that's what he called the erstwhile "Phantom Punch" that dropped Liston.Robinson wrote:Ali's over hand right while backing up - "Anchor Punch"
I also liked Lennox's Lewis' description of his overhand right early in his pro career: "My Riddick Bowe punch"
Re: Punches with nicknames
ha yeah, I am certain had they met as Pro's he would have dropped it
into Bowe...though Riddick had a nice OH right too.
I am certain that there are more cool names..
Floyd Patterson - leaping left hook "Gazelle Punch"
I heard some one refer to Liston's left hook as a
"Bear Swat" I guess that is a decent enough name :)
