Ah, I see Anyway, to answer the question I'd say Tyson had a blistering hook - produced many of his early knockout victories, or was at least the last meaningful punch in a sequence. Chavez, also, but again it generally came as a bolt of lightning in the midst of a raging storm.
Dempsey not only had all time power in his hook but he threw it perfectly. The hook when thrown properly is an inside-out punch. Dempsey is a prime example of textbook left hook punching.
Cyclone Hart warrants consideration; never a serious contender but he had that bomb; I think Hagler said he had me in la-la land with that shot. Not to mention my hero Patterson; he hits guys much bigger with that gazelle, you're hurt...period!
Ah, you guys beat me to a bunch of mine... Dempsey Tyson Frazier Foster Robinson Olivares Cuevas And good call on Cooney who's not someone who immediately came to mind but was definitely a murderous hooker. Ditto for Tommy Morrison. I'd even throw Tito in there. That shot, among many, that snapped Vargas' head around 360 degrees was something else. Razor Ruddock was a hell of a hooker in his day as well. Julian Jackson has to be on anyone's list. An all time great hooker. Honorable mention's gotta go to Mickey Ward even though he's really only known for that heat seeking left hook to the liver. But that was one shot he certainly perfected.
People dont want to beleive it but Tommy Morrison had the best left hook as to what the Ts is asking, theres no doubt. honorable mentions with one shot power.. Mike Tyson David Tua G. Cooney Razor Ruddock In no order. No ,Frazier was not a one shot left hooker,he had to hit opponents constantly and grind them down.
That left hook was like a piston and trumps those guys who landed it once or twice a round. His left hand was better than all of the above.....
G-Man McLellan had the best hook to the body since Thomas Hearns at higher weights. I tend to think of hookers to the body being smaller, Mexican fighters largely due to Olivares, Chavez, Zarate etc De la Hoya had a good left hook too.
Florentino Fernandez was a good shout. He was apparently a lot bigger on the left side of his body. Even his left foot was much bigger than his right foot.
