The most perfect Punch (or best punch) they ever landed
perhaps this may have been the subject of an earlier thread,but
which Boxers claimed what punch was the best that they ever landed on an opponent in the ring ?

In his 1970 autobiography Sugar Ray Robinson said that this was a "perfect punch".

Arguello v Mancini - 12th round - one of the most beautiful straight rights I've ever seen. It lands at 41:20 of the vid

Re: The most perfect Punch (or best punch) they ever landed
The left hook that Gene Tunney knocked Bartley Madden out with in September 1925.
(You could look it Up)
"The Left hook that knocked Madden out in the third round,
after he had got up from a count of nine, was the best that I have ever delivered.
Lou Fink, my faithful trainer,
who was with me in all important matches, contends that I never hit as good a blow before or since.
Madden dived into the canvas, his flesh quivering as he was counted out"

Re: The most perfect Punch (or best punch) they ever landed
speaking of curry........the first left hook to drop mccory was f@cking brilliant, i think dons become pretty overrated, but that was a textbook perfect shot
Re: The most perfect Punch (or best punch) they ever landed
The whole thing is pfp. The right before that shakes him and the left hook that drops him and the almost nonchalant follow up that puts him to sleep.
Re: The most perfect Punch (or best punch) they ever landed
The right hand from Calvin Grove to ko Fenech was absolutely beautiful.
Re: The most perfect Punch (or best punch) they ever landed
Holyfield's right hand counter on Douglas was special.

Nunn poleaxing Kalambay was a cracker, no one done that to Kalambay before or after.

Re: The most perfect Punch (or best punch) they ever landed
was reading, SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME by Rocky Graziano (1955)
the other day and came across this.
page 290
( 37th professional fight-May 1944-Washington DC )
"I flattened Tommy Mollis down in the seventh.
I didn't just flatten Mollis, I destroyed him.
I was still sore at the commisioner who didn't believe I was a fighter.
I caught Mollis one of the hardest rights I ever landed-
in the street, in the can, in the ring, anywhere.
It was a shot to the right side of his mouth.
It felt like I threw my fist into an open 110-volt socket.
It zinged down to my toes
His head snapped around and threw off a shower of white blobs-mouthpiece, drops of sweat, and his front teeth.
It was like you took a sharp knife to a row of corn on the cobb."
