You're entitled to your opinion, even if it's wrong. :yep P4P was invented just to make the little fighters feel important too, since generally speaking "the baddest man on the planet" is a Heavyweight. It's also wide open to subjectivity and bias for a particular weight.
you're going off on a tangent and using imaginary scenarios and with fighters named a b and c then asked to compare jabs with Larry Holmes, and you expect me to bother to take you serious? Lol. The thread is about 'the best left hook in history' which people would unanimously agree, doesn't belong to Wlad. now go away.
Bad example :-( Tex Cobb was a punching bag and he had no place fighting for the Heavyweight Championship of the World. Imagine the flack Wlad would get if he defended against a Tex Cobb caliber fighter............and didn't even KO him.:yep
Just out of curiousity ... How the hell do you differ top notch left hooks from each other in a objective way? At best, you should be able to get a list with boxers who are comparable in ability. Wlads left hook is incredible sharp and fast for a SHW, and he has the power that goes with it. Floyds must be faster, but thats no surprise since he is in a lower weight class. And I am sure he sets it up in a better way. But again, he aint leaving people cold on the canvas. So to say who is the best, you have to get subjective.
ok I'll explain why Floyd's left hook is better. Floyd sets his up better and is able to land it consistently throughout a fighter. He can lead with it. Throw it to the body and double and triple it up. Even quadrouple [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=8YzCSOggfTY#t=308s[/url] He can use it to counter over jabs (see Judah fight) He can use it to counter guys lounging in (see Hatton) he can also turn his jab into a hook better than Wlad can. Watch the Marquez fight. Floyd basically fought the first few rounds with his just left hand. Not to mention the speed on it. It's not more powerful p4p, but it's sharper, more accurate, faster and more versatile
Just out of interest;For the people who think Wlad has the best left hook in history,who would be the nine best after Wlad? It's a very sweeping statement,so curious to know who they rate below him.:think
It's a typical ESB-statement, thats what I would call it. Like when people say this or that fighter aint no top fifty ATG. As if they even have a list ...
You are confused. You cannot have 10 "the best" left hooks. "the best" is singular. There is only one and only. Wlad's left hook is "the best".
I kind of had that in mind AF.Was curious who the competition was and why Wlad beats them all.I'm sure someone will google something and come up with a list when they've had time to look though.
I'm not confused at all.You are talking garbage.How can you have one "the best" and no rhyme or reason why they're better than anyone else???You're making this too easy.I'm off to get my daughter so I'll be curious to see how your logic goes down later...
So? How effective Floyd left hook would be against Chambers or Austin? I bet Wlad's left hook would be really effective against Marquez.
Re-read TS post. Where does it say that Wlad has "better" hook that anyone else? He said Wlad has the best and the most amazing and powerful left hook ever. He does not compare it it to anyone else. He simple states his opinion.
