I got sold on Dempsey's left hook by reading his boxing manual. his favorite punch by a mile, and reading it helped me improve my own:deal
Did the collective IQ around here plummet recently? Get your ****ing facts straight. First, I am told Frazier is taking out a guy with one punch whom he did in fact NOT take out and only put down after 14 rounds of consistent punishment. Hardly a good example of "taking out a guy with one punch". Then, as a well thought retort, I am informed Frazier is getting credit for the broken jaw that Norton inflicted a couple years later. This forum is barely worth reading while I take a ****... and yes, I have the internet in my bathroom.
Frazier's left hook isn't nearly as powerful as Tua's or Dempseys. It may have been the more effective weapon but it generally took a sustained attack to get the job done.
Frazier knocked the speed bag off the ceiling with his left hook in this clip. Go to 10:09 seconds. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tgv5rzKMn4&playnext=1&videos=_RTk2tlz9Ns[/ame]
Cool. When he knocks more than a small handful of fighters out clean with a single left hook come tell me he hits harder than Tua or Dempsey. If he had that kind of power he would be close to unbeatable, but as it was his left hook had merely good/very good power. But it was fast, accurate, and he threw it nonstop.
Frazier is the left hook king. But Tyson is more deserving than Tua of a place in the poll. Tua arguably has slightly more raw power, but Tyson has vastly superior speed, timing, accuracy and technique.
