Who had best uppercuts?

[zapataxiv]

Who do you think was THE master of uppercuts out of them all

I think that is a wrong question, because the answer would do desservice to the other guys. Personally though I study Mike the most and I learned some from a student of his.

Oh yeah forgot Canelo, he has some pretty mean counter uppercuts.

I love the way he uses them. Generates a lot of power stepping in but usually slips out or rolls before any follow up can get him. Its pretty amazing. Dont see a ton of fighters using the uppercut as a counter punch like he does, really good at throwing off opponents rhythm and combos blasting them in the chin.

This one in particular was some matrix shit

The way Golovkin was able to avoid a lot of those was also wildly impressive.

They weren't particularly the MOST deadly uppercuts in the world, but nobody slipped them into their combinations as beautifully as Marquez did.

Mike Tyson and there is not even a remotely close second.

What about Anthony Joshua mate?

AJ has very nice uppercuts, one of the best currently, but I dont think hes on the same planet as Tyson in this regard.

Not at all, and for some strange reason, Klitschko didnt know he could throw it as well as he could, or rather, he didnt think he had enough space to throw it when he did

No matter how many times I see the Tyson Fury gif it still brings a smile to my face.

Ricardo Lopez , Marquez, Canelo, Golovkin , Larry Holmes, Bowe, Arguello, Tyson, Bert Cooper, Dwight Qawi, Michael Spinks, James Toney, MikeMcCallum , Zab Judah, Ray Leonard, George Foreman all have GREAT uppercuts.

Ricardo Lopez obviously. He was one of the rare fighters that would use the left uppercut as a lead, and to devastating results. Also, it was standard practice for him to mix uppercuts into almost all of his combos. He often seemed to favor closing a three punch combo with the left upper instead of the more conventional left hook. A true master of the uppercut.

Nice vid. And tremendous instrumental.



Thnx. I enjoyed that.

Not that many uppercuts in this video, but you guys posted my picks already Tyson had the scariest looking uppercuts imo. George Foreman's were prob harder. Hammed was entertaining and fun to watch . He hit hard but was often left off balance. I just posted this pick because i like the style of Khaosai Galaxy. He is one of the underappreciated asian fighters of yesteryear and the track on this video is crazy, RIP real hip hop.

Uppercut from hell.

Foreman looks so casual while walking relaxed and nearly killing with his punch.

Yeah those are some pretty awesome uppercuts. And what a chin GGG has, he looked like it did nothing to him.

Nothing cooler than a walk on by KO.

 

[facePuncher7]

Juan Manuel Marquez, never seen anyone chain them together so accurately and effortlessly or mix them into combinations like him.

Just pissed him off.

Subtle yet polite response to provocation. Well played.
