boxers who had under-rated punches in their arsenal

[Counter-puncher]

This idea from tony1234.

Example, Chavez' jab.

Floyds jab to the body.

Arguellos left hook and right uppercut to the body.

Benitez' bodypunching

Durans jab was probably underrated too?

I think maybe Fernando Vargas had an underrated jab

Jim Watt underrated bodypuncher

I think Winky Wrights bodypunching was a bit underrated

Take it away, tony

The great Thomas Hearns's left hook to the liver was an underrated one, also.

The greats Sugar Ray Leonard and Pernell Whitaker had underrated body attacks

[hhaehre]

Frazier had a pretty good right hand

[Kalan]

Frazier had no right hand at all -- so it was overrated not underrated

Wladimir Klitschko had an underrated left hook... He put Ray Austin, Eddie Chambers, and Kubrat Pulev out with left hooks.

Gene Tunney had an underrated right hand...He floored Dempsey and stopped Tom Henney with it.

Terry Norris had an underrated left jab... He controlled Sugar Ray Leonard with it.

Mike McCallum had an underrated jab... He set people up with it.

Michael Nunn had brutal left hooks and uppercuts... Nobody else ever knocked Kalambay out... One ripping shot boom!

Miguel Cotto has a nice jab... Stuck it to Mayweather.. He didn't have any height or range, but certainly out-jabbed Mosley.. Decked Clottey with a jab

Rodrigo Valdez put Bennie Briscoe out with a left hook. Blew his lights out.

Mike Weaver had a left hook from Hell. He destroyed John Tate with it. The most easy going and lacking in killer instinct of any fighter ever.

tunney had a great right hand to the heart. in one of his bios, dempsey said he was actually afraid he was going to die when tunney hit him with that punch.

I'm happy to see you disagree, makes me feel certain that Joe had a great right hand. Those here who knows something about boxing (not you Kalan) will know about Fraziers right hand to the body, a very effective punch that he used less later in his career.

Gerry Cooney's right hand.

During the Gerry Cooney discussions on another board I watched highlights of a few of his fights. In his comeback fight after Holmes Cooney knocked down Phil Brown twice with rights. He's credited with getting Norton in trouble with a right, too.

Right.. I loved it when he tried his meek little right on Foreman. He found out what right handers are all about in that fight.

That's not an argument pertaining to this discussion now is it?

Eubank 45 degree death punch.

Frazier had a very underrated right hand. Watch Quarry 2 and Ali 3 for reference. It seemed to get better with age.

"Tony1234", I kinda like that.

*I think I mentioned in another thread, Ali had a very good left hook/uppercut thrown from a strange 45 degree angle.

*Frazier's jab was good and he threw it from the inside, so if you're not paying close attention, you just assume it was a hook.

*Duran had a good jab. I think someone mentioned that.

*Holmes' left hook to the body was nothing to sneer at.

*Frazier's right hand helped whip Quarry during their 2nd meeting.

Lamotta's jab

Lewis's left hook

[BoxBuzz]

Eubank 45 degree death punch.

This is not supposed to be mentioned within civil company.

If you're pretending Frazier had a real good right hand it is... He had a good left hook... He had a jab, but not a real good one... He wasn't known for a right hand because that wasn't a shot he could punch or counter extra sharply with... Guys with slick jabs and right counters nailed Foreman with those shots.

tunney had a great right hand to the heart. in one of his bios, dempsey said he was actually afraid he was going to die when tunney hit him with that punch.

Jose Legra mentions a similar experience against Vicente Saldivar. Ive often wondered if this is a good yarn or legitimate account. Im sure a well timed shot to the heart cant be healthy , esp with the stress its under during a bout as it is. Personally i think concerns of heart palpitations or irregular heartbeats not too far fetched.

its not one i have seen very often but I do recall seeing a guy who was stopped, effectively, by a big right hand under the heart. he just sort of turned floppy instantly and slid along the ropes helpless

Muhammad Ali's lead Right from the Orthodox stance.

That kind of punch is no-no for an Orthodox fighter, but he nailed the likes of Foreman with that time & time again.

I didnt want to paraphrase as you gave an apt description of what Legra was quoted as saying. I did find the quote but not the entire interview, which i will link if i can find it.... its been a number of years....

"When someone gives you a good blow ... The Mexican Vicente Saldívar gave me a direct right blow to the heart that left me as a helpless child, he could have killed me had the bell not rung, the phrase was never better said than that. That blow was his specialty, and with it he left two fighters in danger of death.
Truth be told, when I recovered it was like hell. I got him in the same fight, in the sixth or seventh assault and gave him a right that made him fell. He got up, fought to the end and gave they gave him the victory of the fight." -Jose Legra

Salvidar was a southpaw.... but there is a likeness to what you describe....

[Counter-puncher]

thanks, tinnie

[Cutman Scabbers]

Duran's jab was more of a range-finder
