    Good Thread...

    w/Out Question, Floyd Mayweather has the Best of the Following:

    1. JAB
    2. LEAD HOOK
    3. DEFENSE
    4. RING INTELLIGENCE

    Manny Pac has the Best of the Following:

    1. CROSS
    2. FASTEST HANDS (tie w/Andre Dirrell)
    3. STAMINA
    4. FOOTWORK (Some would Say Floyd, but Manny Gets MORE Out of his Footwork, Integrating Offense AND Defense More Frequently)...


    That Leaves Best UPPERCUT, BODYPUNCHING, POWER & CHIN...

    Most UNORTHODOX Uppercut is Paul Williams' Version where he has 1 Arm in the Clinch & Brings the Other ACROSS his Body & UNDER the Clinched Arm...REED Would Give Best Chin to Vitali Klitschko & He'll have to Think a Bit on Bodypunching & Power...

    The power winner probably just hung himself in prison.

    pacquiao seems to take punches better than he used to at lower weights. he's been hurt less from flush shots given by clottey and cotto as opposed to shots he took when he was a featherweight.

    shit, even oscar larios shook him and marquez had him buckled several times in both fights.

    I don't understand what 'best' means, if in the case of jabs hooks and crosses that it's 'most powerful in boxing'... sorry, but even pumped full of drugs, Pedquiao still doesn't measure up to Wlad.

    I think that Wlad MUST be up there for the best jab. He has to be. There is no way the guy can be 6 years unbeaten without having the best SOMETHING from that list. Maybe he has the best vitamins money can buy. Thats it.

    Best left hook when he throws the motherfucker HAS to be Wlad.

    I mean who else has 1 punch stoppages in title fights with left hooks?

    He may quite simply have the best left arm in boxing.

    Cotto is an overrated body puncher.

    This is what I'm confused about aswell ya pict savage. Is it most powerful and devistating?.. or is it, 'prettiest' ..or 'quickest' .. or.. another offshoot of a self-serving p4p thread,..?.. Whatever 'best' is,.. Wlad's jab wins regardless,.. nobody is able to compareably damage and shutdown fighters the way Wlad does with it.

    I do note also, that his hook is very deadly,.. infact, I conceed to indulgence, he has the best left arm in boxing, up the white man.. :crafty: no sarcasm either.

    Wlad has one of the best jabs in HW history IMHO. Without it his china chin would have been cracked again in the last six years or so. It is a testament to his tremendous left hand that he hasn't.

    MTF :dunno:

    Aside from his chin (and possible stamina problems) Wlad would arguably be the best heavyweight in history.
