The late Reg Gutteridge always said that Henry Cooper had the best left hook, Reg would always say "Of any, ANY, Heavyweight ". Cooper's shot was actually a thing of beauty. A scalpel rather than a bludgeon. Tony Sibson's left hook was attached to one of the nicest, most unspoilt blokes in Boxing in his era. Colin Jones. A weapon of terror. Only to be shown after the watershed.

Sonny Banks, Henry Cooper and Joe Frazier. Anyone who put Ali down has to have major bragging rights. And, of the three:- Your ‘Enry (to all our Brit friends) put Muhammad down the hardest and had him the most hurt. The respect that Ali afforded Cooper in all the years following spoke for itself. Ali never forgot the hammer. Honourable mention at the least: The three consecutive, lightning fast left hooks, each fully laden and devastating in their own right, with which Louis put Max Baer down. I can’t say that I’ve seen any other fighter replicate same, all features considered.
1. Sugar Ray Robinson- Speed, 1 shot KO power, he could double and triple it not to mention loose it on the move. 2. Joe Louis-quick, deadly and short. Hook off the jab. 3. Pipino Cuevas- the jaw breaker 4. Sonny Liston- scary weapon, nobody could take it. 5. Bob Foster- 1 shot will stiffen your joints.
