I was thinking about this as I was watching old Tyson hi-lights on the box last night. Tyson's uppercut was deadly. Kind of ironic when you consider that he was basically done in by a wicked uppercut that started the final punch sequence by Buster Douglas.
Who would you pick?
Lewis had an awesome uppercut, so does JMM, and DLH when he'd use it on the insideQuote:

Off the top of my head I'd say Tyson.

I love that body to head combo. Other than Tyson I hardly see anyone throwing that combo except for maybe Tommy Morrison.
Juan Manuel Marquez throws a good lead uppercut. Antonio Margarito's uppercut isn't too shabby either.
Lennox Lewis???

Smokin' Bert Cooper had a sick upper.
(Not the best but thought I'd throw a different name)
You thinking about this one???

Love that combo!
I think Azumah Nelson deserves an honarable mention for the left uppercut that KO'd Pat Cowdell for 5 mins in the 1st round.
Very underrated Little Mac

Tyson Fury:rolleyes:
a topical pick , Vern Forrest , his uppercut that nearly takes Shane Mosley's head off and floors him.
Tommy Hearns lifted Roberto Duran off the canvas with an uppercut to the body.
Carmen Basilio had a strange yet effective uppercut, he has a Rock'em Sock'em Robot uppercut, he didn't turn his wrist when he threw it.
Floyd Mayweather has a pretty wicked uppercut when he uses it watch the Jesus Chavez fight. I'd say Lennox Lewis ranks up there also.
tyson surely?
Yeah, I remember back shortly before before Tyson became champ, I think it was in reference to the fight with Jesse Ferguson, Tyson remarked in an interview how he liked to catch guys with an uppercut to the nose, in order to drive the bone into their brains. :-\
I would say the best single uppercut thrown was by Buster against Tyson. Other than that Lennox I thought his was a little bit better than Tyson's. He just seemed to get crazy leverage on that baby.
agree, Lewis' uppercut was so compact on the inside, and seeing how long his arms are, it's pretty impressiveQuote:
