    One punch power, no cumulative guys.

    Ughh... Left hooks in the 27th round against super-middles don't really count.

    Tua
    Ibeabuchi
    W Klit
    Ruddock (if you call "the smash" a hook)
    Frazier maybe, although I dont think he had the one-punch power of Tua and Ike at least

    Ahhhh, when he tripled his left hook in the Baer fight it was a thing of beauty.

    Tua, Louis, Tyson, Morrison are the first to come to my mind. Liston, Dempsey, Big Cat Williams all had mean left hooks as well so any of those really could be in the top 5.

    I guess Ruddock's was The Smash, a hydrid uppercut/hook.

    Frazier, Louis, Tyson, Tua and Morrison would probably be my picks. (In no particular order).

    I don't really count the Smash because it's also part uppercut, although that being said Ruddock's normal left hook was pretty lethal too. Honorable mentions include Dempsey, Williams, and one I'm surprised hasn't gotten any mention yet; Patterson's leaping left hook.
