Who had the best left hand of last 25 years?

are we talking left hands from southpaws? or lefthands from orthodox fighters? Or both?

 

whichever the case, david tua's left hook is somewhere in my top five. for an un-athletic, plodding guy with very little movement, relatively short arms and a very limited toolbox...without the granite chin and the left hook, tua would never have been a capable club fighter, let alone challenge for world titles. the left hand made him and the iron beard gave it the chance to do its work.

 

Waldi Klitschko has on of the best lefts in the last 25 years.

 

Oscar and Tito had the best left hooks for me.

 

most top boxer all have good left hands,,,,,,,,,,,, gay post

 

Trinidad had a destructive left hook.

 

TOO MANY! Vic Darchinyan comes to mind, Castillo, Corrales, Cotto, Tyson, Jones, Mayweather, Tito, Manny, Hatton basically anyone at a elite level got a good left hand.

 

I would assume both so natural leftys would be at an advantage here.

 

I loved Tito's left: destructive.

 

My first name was Barrera. He could do everything with his left hand, straight, hook, uppercut, and his left to the body, especially in his 122lb days, was every bit as good as Chavez's left to the body. He's number one for me.

 

Best left since 84':think....well I don't anything was as effective Pea straight left, Oscar and Tito had devasting hooks...

I'll go with Pea's straight left

 

Left Jab; Larry Holmes, Lennox Lewis, Wlad Klitschko

Hook to the head; Tito, Barrera, Vasquez, DLH, Tua

Hook to the body; JC Chavez, Micky Ward, Vassily Jirov/Roy jones

Uppercut; Tyson, Razor Ruddock, Barrera,

 

I have 2 say Roy Jones Jr left hand waz powerful and somewhat underrated,and if u dont agree look what happen in the Jones vs.Griffin rematch[YT][/YT]

 

Good list. Barrera had one of the better hooks to the body though, no question.
