Top 5 hardest left hooks ever landed by a heavyweight

I've kept to myself to see if anyone else would mention them, but it would appear you casuals just can't appreciate greatness.

That left hook by Charles against Satterfield was Curry-McCrory-like

 

Frazier vs Ali (KD)

 

I re read the title....so scratch this from the record

Look at the follow through on that hook. Went through the target and out the other side just as you are thought in the gym. Peach of a left hand.
Only an iron chinner can get up after being stiffened out like that...

 

One of the best hooks by a heavyweight was Ali's against Bonavena. Perfect punch. Timing, accuracy, unseen, had Oscar's momentum. It laid a tough man who had survived Joe Frazier to waste.

Maybe not the hardest hook but certainly one of the more effective.

 

LOL

 

Joe Louis was noted for his right hand, which was exceptional. However, he could throw a mean left hook when he wanted to. This one lifts Tony Galento off his feet at the :55 second mark

I also love this left hook he drops Johnny Paycheck with at the 2:02 mark

To be fair the criteria is "hardest" only. Charles hooks might be able to be bracketed (among multitudes of others) for greatest but not IMO hardest at heavyweight.

 

Foreman.

 

I like Weaver vs Tate and Ruddock vs Dokes. Someone mention Morrison vs Ruddock, which Morrison literally lifter Ruddock feet off the grown, but Ruddock did get up, so kinda eliminates it.

 

Check out this left hook by Jerry Quarry against Alex Miteff at the 8:10 mark. Wow!
