The term "haymaker" came into being because the path of the punch mimics the appearance of a scythe which was often used to manually cut hay. The scythe was used to chop it down before the hay was formed into bales.

A haymaker is fighting term that means a hard, swinging punch or hit. It comes from how hay used to be harvested, which was by swinging a scythe, since the punch resembles the same motion and level of power.
I have never actually heard anyone describe a long throw in football as a haymaker. A Haymaker is typically defined as a wild punch, thrown with all of someone's might in the hopes of knocking out their opponent. I would surmise that a color analyst would describe a long throw as a haymaker if it has a debilitating negative effect on the opponents defense. As in "the offense just knocked the defense down with that haymaker". However haymaker is not a term that is generally used in regards to football.
hey could with a huge right haymaker or a punch to the gut would do it.
It's a punch that resembles a controlled haymaker or an overhand right more than anything, it's almost like a signature punch for Fedor Emelianenko and Igor Vovchanchyn.

The punch that lands most often in boxing is the jab, simply because it is a leading punch that is used more often than the more powerful cross, hook, and uppercut. In martial arts the same theory applies: quick leading punches are used before striking at weaknesses or openings with more powerful techniques. If we're talking about punches in general, and schoolyard and street fights are included, then the jab may be beat out by the haymaker which is a very powerful punch if delivered correctly and one that seems to be most naturally instinctive to people. However, the haymaker is one of the most easily anticipated punches and is easily intercepted or evaded by fighters with minimal training. Still, that doesn't matter too much if no one is looking for it or lacks the experience necessary to avoid being hit.
