Best punches that didn't......
knock somebody down?
I started thinking about this topic because I just rewatched Hopkins/Trinidad.
I"m sure most people remember the fight but at the very end of the tenth round, best round of the fight, Bernard and Tito were shoulder to shoulder and Bernard threw a right to the body and a beautiful right uppercut, wobbled Tito badly. Im sure most people remember the punch, Tito did a little dance, but didn't go down, and the round ended.
Beautiful punch, not by any means the hardest punch of all time but a beautiful punch.
So I was just wondering what was the best punch you've seen that didn't drop or stop an opponent?
Re: Best punches that didn't......
The right handed uppercuts that Juarez nailed Barrera with in the 9th or 10th round of their first fight.
I just don't get it...I mean...those fwockers were like laser guided 2 ton hammers.

Re: Best punches that didn't......
can you post that punch for me i wanna see it :)
Re: Best punches that didn't......
CC, those were nice punches
I'm sure you remember the Hopkins uppercut, beautiful combo, right hand to the body and right uppercut. The only two fighters that I've seen using that combination are Hopkins and Toney but Bernard did it absolutely perfectly, that was the end of the fight in reality. Tito was gone after that.
Actually, and I'm as you know I'm not a Klitschko fan, Vitali hit Lewis with a right hand in the second round of their fight that was the best punch I've ever seen him throw and Lewis was wobbled but not dropped which says something about him not having a glass chin.

I wouldn't even know how to post a a single ten second long clip of a fight, I've got that fight on my computer so I could post the whole thing on youtube but I suspect its probably on there already.
Its at the very end of the tenth round, the ten second bell rang like two or three seconds before Bernard hit him with the combo

Randall's right cross to Chavez in round two. Chavez'z legs bent to a 45 degree angle.
Re: Best punches that didn't......
All those big right hands Earnie Shavers landed on Randy Tex Cobb. They were all bombs but Cobb soaked them all up.
Re: Best punches that didn't......
Klitschko caught Peters with a hell of a shot that had his legs do a shake

Gatti vs Ward Round 5 that combination at the end of the round by Ward.
Re: Best punches that didn't......
May I, Tyson's body shot followed by a vicious uppercut to Evander in Mike's best round of the fight round 5.
Re: Best punches that didn't......
Ruelas right hand uppercut that landed flush on Gattis chin stuned Gatti only to enfuriate him and TKO Ruelas. :o

BAsically everything that torres threw to Cotto Those where perfect Shots and for a guy who people say that has a suspect chin handle that incredibly.
Also the MAyorga - Tito Fight wow those where perfect shots including the 5th round.
Forrest - Mayorga 1 Forrest just hit him with a Hammer and the Fucker took it and kept fighting.
Maussa is another that takes Flush Hits and acts sometimes like nothing happened well some of them but Hatton at the 8th 9 th round hit him with something Maussa did not see it coming.
Re: Best punches that didn't......
Collazo hit Hatton with a Perfect left Cross and hatton was stone and did not go down
