    Ah, see, when you said "where can I see Langford's hook?", I thought you meant "Where can I see Langford's hook?" Not, "where can I see Langford's hook in HD."

    But if you can't be bothered taking the time to take apart difficult footage, at least have the good grace not to roll your eyes at those who do.

    I'm sorry, but you've already admitted you can't understand that footage so your opinion is meaningless.

    Joe Fraizer worked his hook overtime. It was like a machine in and of itself.

    After their first fight Ali called it "damn evil thing, that hook underestimated it".

    The thing that made Sugar Ray Robinson`s hook so potent was that he had blazing speed. He could be gliding backwards seemingly out of range and stop on a dime and still get concussive force on it. Thats not normal.

    Honorable mention....Tommy Hearns lefthook to the body never gets talked about much but it was kinda nasty. check the films.
