    Best/favourite uppercut

    Sorry to so blatantly steal another idea but following the best left hook post, I would like to ask you if you have a favourite or best uppercut exponent or example? The uppercut can be one of the most spectacular and devastating shots to see in a fight...

    I'm thinking along the lines of the monstrous uppercut Big George laid on Smokin Joe, lifting him off the canvas, or how about when AJ made 6'7" Klitschko temporarily 7 foot tall? Tyson Fury even planted one on himself in one bout!

    My favourite exponent was probably Iron Mike, he certainly knew how to land them, see Berbick fight as one example. In terms of the best one I've seen, even though he got battered in arguably the biggest upset in boxing, Tyson dropped Douglas with a peach of a shot and almost won by ko... Absolutely devastating shot.

    My favorite uppercut is the one where old George Foreman sent that one guy’s mouth piece to the freaking moon. I can’t remember the name of the guy he did that to, but if anyone knows what I’m talking about comment the dude’s name down below.

      I'll meet you between the hook and the upper cut and nominate Donovan "Razor" Ruddock's hybrid punch "The Smash"!!

        Some of my favorites: Finitio Lopez, Alexis Arguello, Lennox Lewis; obviously big George and Tyson. Also, Langford's looks monstrous.

          - 14 second count like Tunney got for Dempsey.

            Douglas' uppercut that left Tyson hanging in mid air waiting to be finished. Until that uppercut people actually believed Tyson couldn't be KOed.

              Lennox had a terrific uppercut, real power punch.

                - -Bolstered by his highly illegal tactic of pulling his opponent's head into his uppercut bolstered by then grabbing him to rub his Rastafarian braids into the fighter's cuts, both on full display in his last fight where he looked like shtt warmed over...

                  Funny that Douglas have one of the best (vs. Tyson) and one of the worst (vs. Holyfield).




                  This uppercut deserves mention in any list of great uppercuts:

                    - -Big Busta lived and then died by the uppercut.

                    Canelo has a great on that has only ever been improved on over the years.
