Top 5 best punches in boxing today?

[ElJefe]

What would people say are the top 5 punches both in British boxing and also in world boxing?

For British, off the top of my head I can think of Brook's jab, Callum Smith's left hook to the body, DeGale seems to have a good sort of overhand left, I know he's Irish but Andy Lee's right hook is worth a mention.

In terms of the world a few that jump out are Kovalev's straight right, Stevenson's straight left and pretty much anything Golovkin hits you with.

What a stupid thread.

Kovalev has got a great jab, Golovkin has a brilliant left hook to the body, Nicholas Walters has a very good straight right, Rigo a straight left and Lomachenko has uppercuts from the textbook.

Brook has a spiteful jab. Was just talking bout this the other day when my mate was asking about the Khan fight being made. A flush Brook jab would have Khan in bother I reckon.

James Kirkland,had a punch and a half, untill saul

[digzee]

Golovkins ko power is overrated. It's actually his physical strength that makes him beastly.

Its his timing and technique more then anything.

Not fashionable right now, but Vlad's overhand right can't be sniffed at.

[PredatorHayds]

Every one of Joshua's punches look dangerous.

Andrew Selby has a cracking Bolo punch which he uses often and effectively.

What a stupid thread.

Now you say it, I know. A thread about boxing on a boxing forum, what was I thinking?

Get a life.

Most devastating punch in boxing if he was actually willing to let it go. Couldn't believe how hesitant he was to throw it against Jennings, especially after his performance against Pulev. Should of seen the writing on the wall against Fury.

Saul Alvarez throws a nice right uppercut. Looks like he's gonna throw a hook then kinda changes it at the last minute.

Also loved that looping shot Degale landed on Dirrell to score the first knockdown. Overhand left?

He did land flush on Fury's head but Fury just shook his head, so not that big a punch, unless of course Fury can actually take a decent shot.

I think if it lands flush it's a huge shot. Wladimir's knockout percentage is large due mainly to this punch. He's not exactly Hagler in terms of aggression. Think Fury gets a hard time about his ability to take a shot though due a couple of earlier career knockdowns.

Eubank Jr has a pretty destructive uppercut

James Kirkland,had a punch and a half, untill saul

James kirkland is the david price of america can punch but wen he gets hit he has legs like a baby giraffe

[TheGman]

Golovkin ,chocolito,BOMB SQUAD,jacobs and cant think of a 5th

[TheGman]

and kovalev

[iamasadlittleboy]

Inoue has some cracking stuff to the body

[orbtastic]

Jhonny Gonzalez can still hit, so can Roman Gonzalez albeit he has far more technique.

Stevenson and Kovalev both have great power at 175, Beterbiev also looks like he can hit albeit not really tested so far.

Golovkin hits hard with both hands and is physically strong. I think some people overrate it but I'd not want to get hit by it. Same with Thurman but I think PFP GGG is clearly a much bigger puncher.

Wilder is technically not that great but has right hand power when delivered properly.

Matthysse clearly has raw power albeit he can be a bit technically deficient. Maidana too but he's looked less of a one hit puncher since moving up.

Walters is a decent puncher. Ceja looks powerful but tends to plant his feet a bit too much.

Bailey, Uchiyama oh and Yamanaka's straight left

[Boxerbeetle]

David Price's ramrod left jab
