Thread: The LEAST important punch in boxing

I know everyone is different, and some may feel that some punches are more important than others, depending on their style and how they box. But overall, which do you feel is the least important? I'd have to say the hook, but I'm no pro.

can we get the option "they're all important"?

They are all Important.. They all have their Up's

If I had to choose I would say my right hook. I usely just replace it with a straight right unless of course im on the inside of the guy and cant get the full power of my right because I am so close to him, which is where the right hook comes in handy.

you need all of these punches

I've knocked plenty of people down/out with 'no such thing' then :P

it doesn't exist, but I did invent it and it can be thrown. but there's no such thing.

No wonder it gives concussions then :P

So its a con trick with a cushion, tell me that again

for the record, I think jab is a key punch, but it's not one you have to throw hard. I don't jab hard but I try to keep it in the guys face to set myself up for harder punches. I also like to throw jab to the body a lot to get the guys hands down.

the uppercut is pretty limited in when you can use it.

Dont like to see jabs to the body to many counters against it
