Best lead hands in boxing?

[Counter-puncher]

We saw some brilliant lead hands last night, beyond Haney.

G. A. Russell’s lead right hand is lethal in jab, hook and uppercut forms. He is a force to be reckoned with, as is Matias.

That right hook is advanced stuff man. Seriously. 140 lb Russell brother is a bad man.

How often to people lead with uppercuts... or hooks for that matter?

the thread topic is about the use of the 'lead hand',. the hand/foot that boxers have closest to their opponent, IE the front hand.

one doesn't have to specify if that hand is being used to 'lead' with (IE the distinction between throwing a hook or uppercut 'behind a 1-2' or 'leading with the hook/uppercut'), to get an answer for this topic

this topic is about fighters who use their 'lead hands' (IE their front hands) well, whether with jabs, hooks or uppercuts, whether as a 'lead' or 'behind' other punches.

whether or not they often 'lead' with hooks or uppercuts from that front/lead hand is thus irrelevant to this discussion


the thread doesn't ask 'which fighters use their lead hand hooks or uppercuts to lead with'

it asks who uses their lead hands well. clearly that is the question 'ironbeard' answered whilst you tried (and failed) to take an opportunity to be a snidey little sh1t.

I hope that's cleared it up for you. Start your own thread on 'do boxers often lead with their hooks or uppercuts' if you'd like to discuss that entirely separate subject, for which you introduced an entirely unnecessary distinction, in a typical piece of misplaced pedantry.

tbh. looking through the p4p rankings, im surprised by how few guys stand out for their lead hand variety.....a lot with a good jab, or good hook, etc......but not nearly as many who are reeallly good with multiple shot types

ive said it before, but more than ever guys has limited diversity in their outputs today. so many guys who will have a jab, a money power shot, and that's it

ggg is pretty good with the lead.....can jab, hook, upperct, do it upstairs and down. one of the most diverse lead hands around id say.

there is a 'hooker-uppercut' family too. guys like canelo, donaire, lil choco........dont consider any of them jabbers but they can throw those 2 really well

Haney and Teofimo have really good jabs.

yeah.. .it's why I posted Estrada as the first answer to the thread as he definitely does it all with his left
