Who had the hardest Left hook ever? Whos number one?

you sound like a 1996 Vitali Klitschko doing an interview in english

 

For pure force, I'd say Tua.

 

I can believe that. Morrison's hook was dynamite.

 

I might get **** for this

But i believe Holyfield has one of the best left hooks

With his left hook he dropped Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Ray Mercer.....enough said

He also rocked Foreman to the boots in their fight, with a left hook

 

Dempsey deserves a mention

 

The hardest and best are 2 complete different propositions. Hardest left hook is a tough one, goto be a huge stocky who shifts there whole body in them.

Someone like Rudduck, Foreman, Wlad, Cooney or just maybe Tua. Forget about most the great HWs, even Tyson/Louis were part reliant on speed/placement/angle, as many great KO punches are, even Tua has element of that

The answer is probably some journeyman I haven't thought of actually, power is the most overrated aspect of boxing

Moorer had suspect chin, and I don't consider him one of best. He caught Holyfield on off night, lost to old Foreman, and while very good light heavy was not great heavyweight..

For power, Cooney. Dempsey had great hook. How many scored one punch ko's with hook in big fights is thing to ask?

That is an insult!!! ---to Vitali. :yep It was late, and I was kind of staggering way through that answer.

 

I'd say Morrison hit harder than the 1993 Foreman. Punch for punch, Morrison's one-shot power was at least a notch above old George's.

 

No he doesnt..

 

Dempsey had devastating left hook. Years after retiring he ko'd Ton Galento in sparring at Stillmans gym with one left hook. Galento was active, Dempsey was retired for over 10 years. First shot he hurt Willard with was that left hook.

 

florentino fernandez, carlos palomino, rubin hurricane carter, sugar ray robinson
the left hook is a beautiful punch when thrown correctly
