Wlads left hook is certainly top 3 or 5 in heavyweight history. Regardless of all my past criticisms, it has become increasingly clear that Wladimir Klitschko is one of the greatest, if not THE GREATEST heavyweight of all time when you consider the total package.
for his time he had a pretty nasty left hook, but, look what happened when he stepped in with foreman, small very slow HW by todays standards. not only little to no impact, he couldnt even hardly reach foreman
Thats because it was a horrible style clash. Same with Liston vs Patterson. They both still had great left hooks.
Answer is no, but its pretty effective. He doesnt even throw it with full power and it hurts people easily.
As stated Foreman was terrible style match up for him. His hook worked great against arguably the best HW of all time and a man that beat Foreman. I would say Frazier because he used it with great consistency Wlad used it great against Pulev but he barely used in some of his other fights.
Henry Cooper's left hook known as 'Enery's Ammer was an awesome punch. Just ask The Greatest Muhammad Ali
his hook is what people remember about him but:think how many undefeated opponents did he dispatch with his hook? How many challengers to his title did he finish with it?:bbb
I must correct you--Wlad vs. Peter No. 1-- almost ended in a knockout when Wlad put him on ***** street- left hook end of round 12 -Peter barely missed the followup right hand KO punch that would have ended the fight. Helenius fought a washed up Peter
I think that left hook may have actually altered the course of Peter's career. Klitschko said that was the hardest punch he ever landed and was surprised Peter was not KOed by it but Peter was not the same after that punch.
He was the same Peter. Looked the exact same as he did against Wlad. He was never good to begin with. Hilenuis played with him. One left hook form the Nightmare and it was all over. Wlad was running in fear and in survival mode against Peter:rofl
