    I'd say
    1st joe frazier
    2nd tommy Morrison
    3rd floyd Patterson
    4th Mike Tyson
    5th Rocky Marciano

    Who would you say has the best left hooks?

    1) Frazier
    2)Morrison
    3) Patterson
    4) Ruddock maybe a combo of hook uppercut, but lethal all the same
    5) Tyson
