There are fighters who relied on certain punches and they became signature moves for those men too.
However I prefer textbook technique when talking about the bestever.
To me Joe Louis's technique stands out the most, the arm angle maintained and then the release to punch through the target is spot on.
Also Sugar Ray Robinsons ability to adlibe and create angles was outstanding. He could KO men while backing out with either hand. Unheard of today!
A fighter you may not consider was a very good hooker also. Jake LaMotta through very correct punches from an unorthodox stance. His body positioning doesn't produce a good vision to see form but his punches were correct where they landed. He had a really good left that he also pronated at times and would sweep it across the shoulder blades/chest area hoping the chin was hanging out there.....hahahaha!!!!
Cerdan and Zale also threw good meaningfull hooks too.
Zarate' and Argeullo did well too.

He would not only lose, but lose very badly too. Can you imagine Frazier getting stopped by Michael Bentt or gassing out against Ray Mercer? If you can then there is nothing more that I can say. I'm still baffled at how you can say that Frazier wasn't a power puncher. That is vintage Elroy.Last edited by juggernaut666; 05-20-2015, 06:49 PM.

I think its about time we all just ignore Elroy and juggernauts ramblings, and just discuss boxing with all the intelligent people. These guys aren't even trolls they are just imbeciles and I'm sick of reading their posts, seriously lets all put them on ignore and go back to having meaningful discussions.

Best hooker? Floyd Mayweather Jr. He'd do anything to make big money. Hell, money is even his nickname, dude's a total hooker.
Oh and I'd also add Shane Mosley's ex-wife who not only got a buttload of money from him but also one of his championship belts in his divorce settlement. Total hooker too.
