    Just watched a few of Joe Frazier's fight and realised he threw about 4-5 left hooks for evrey right hand. Has any fighter as great as him ever been as reliant on a certain type of punch as he was?

    Not even in the same galaxy as Frazier but Tua always relied on his left hook way too much as well.

    He didnt use it as often, but in the early 70's Ali's right hand lead was very important to him beating some of his tougher opponents. Sonny Liston's sledgehammer of a right cross was very dominant against opponents that were his height or shorter (you wont see this shot much with the 2 Ali fights, Terrell, and Williams due to their height).
