Thread: Has anyone got that gif/ name of the fighter who scored a KO with a long range hook?

It wasn't just any long hook either it was a very long range casting hook that you don't see in boxing usually.

He was a black fighter, he was a southpaw, he scored a KO with it, and it was someones avatar on boxing scene for a long time.

I will be very impressed if you can answer this 1, takes a lot of knowledge to know.

The boxer threw it exactly like this. He was a relatively modern boxer.

Watch 4:13 to 4:15 the replay in slow motion.Leaping right hook that was the start to Hearns finish.

That was a fantastic long range hook, but it wasn't a casting hook like shown in the video. The guy im looking for threw it like the sambo casting punch in that video and he also scored a KO with it but it looks very different. It was a long range rear left casting hook.

Seen Paul Williams throw some like that.

Pernell Whitaker.

Can you be a little more vague

Not sure what you mean punch wise?

Never been a member at boxingscene or wandered through their forum. Always found it a little noisy so the avatar hint is no good.

The southpaw narrows it down some but my confusion over the punch described gets me thinking to much. I was going to say Moorer on that close to 7 foot Mike White but that went the distance. I reviewed Nunns career in my mind to no avail. I even considered Tyson cause he's a southpaw, converted and he threw some odd hooks from what appeared to have started a long ways away.

Perhaps @Andre is right and its someone you would least suspect like Whitaker.

Paul Williams also sprung to mind for me. But to be fair there isn't much to go on.
