I'm not really a fan of the haymaker in FNR4 so I don't throw it. I usually box with the same group of guys and they're all the same way. The only time I'll throw one is if someone is throwing a lot at me. In those cases I just wait for a counter opportunity to blast them in the face with one. Tit for tat. :-)[Reply]

It depends who I'm using. If I'm using Tyson or Foreman, I'll try throwing maybe 1 - 2 per round. If I'm connecting with them, I'll try more.
If I'm using Ali, Roy Jones, or someone else with more speed than power, I hardly ever throw them at all. It all depends on exactly how the fight is going. If I need a miracle to win, I might try throwing some and hoping to catch the guy.

Against smammers (not pressure fighter - there's a difference) and spinners I throw body UC haymakers after a backstep and when someone has fouled me twice I throw a haymaker UC to the head after a retaliatory low blow.

I think I might have thrown 10 in my entire 52-fight dynasty.
Depends, if i'm fighting a bum I'll throw a decent amount.....But if i'm playing somebody good who's nice at bobbing and weaving i'll pick my spots.

Wow I am surprised by the lack of hays being thrown by you all. I never throw sig punches. But haymakers are there to be used and should. Their is a weakness to using them and there is postives.
Pappy and others have fought me. I am far far from a spammer. I box in realistic manner. But with that said. I will throw haymakers. Here is why.
Haymakers are the only punch that can flash KO someone without the stunned phase. They are basically the developers idea on power punches.
So I use them basing it on who I am using. couple examples.
Tyson - I like to work my way in with body hooks and left hooks to the head. Since the left is Tysons power hand. Once in close. I keep calm and pick my shots. A guy doing alot of covering I will throw some Body uppercuts to take a huge chunk out of his stamina. This will then open me up to be able to unload on him. Less stamina means his punches hurt less and mine hurt him more. As I wear him down I will go for the big KO with Tysons power. Using a haymaker to the head.
Jones Jr. - Roy I am not using a lot of hays. I am instead using his head movement to cause counters and using his speed to rattta tat all over their face with jabs and straights. Using his foot work to get in, land some jabs and straights then get out of range. Force them to waste punches in empty space and drain their stamina. Now if I happen to catch them and rock them. You better believe he better try and get the hands up because a big shot is coming.
Lamotta - This is based when I am fighting Jake. Jake has a tremendous chin. You can hit this cat with 40 or 50 hays in a fight and he just keeps trucking. So you need to hit him with Haymaker body shots. Jakes stamina is not the greatest and after 6 or 7 rounds of taking body haymakers. He will have a very tough time staying up right.
Now you can't do this to every fighter. First you have to find their weakness. Jake Lamotta's is his foot speed. He is not going to have the foot speed to bounce out of range of that body haymaker. So he is forced to block and take some of the shot or take the lick.
Then on the other side of the fence if u are fighting a person who is just a haymaker spammer. Well if you have a fighter with faster foot work than theirs. You can make them miss on those and that takes away big chunks of stamina.
I am not saying spam haymakers. But removing them out your game really really will have a big impact on your fights. Knowing the perfect time to land a big haymaker cross is huge. A fighter keeps coming at you just wailing. Do a push away and use that space to have him coming on as you blast him and put him to the canvas.

Im sure if the animations look as good as the others, people would use the haymakers....The haymakers they have now dont belong in the game, its from the old engine and it looks silly..
