Should taller fighters throw Overhand Rights? Why or why not?

[Trainer Monkey]

I get told to throw it after every body rip or uppercut, seems to land pretty often when I throw it. Although I really do not throw it with a large loop, rather just bring my elbow out a lot earlier than a normal straight right.

If you check my posts, theres a difference between a tight overhand cross,and a big looping overhand cross. In all honesty, the mechanics of both shots are so different, they should be considered different punches. One is a quick snap and drive, the other is more like throwing a baseball

Like the windmill punch? No one should ever throw a windmill, ever.

While I dont teach it,and heavily discourage it, some guys can time it well enough to get away with it,and be effective with it.
I dont feel as vehemently about that punch as I do about a pawing jab, but I sure as heck dont like the risk/reward ratio on it for a taller guy.
A pawing jab on the other hand, everybody in my gym knows that if I so much as see one,Ill kill you myself
