The hardest left hook?

no they only like the heavy weight division.

 

Hardest left hook is the title of the thread. The answer would be someone within the hwt division.

 

Henry Cooper had a helluva left hook.

 

Then say your restricting it to the HW's for pete's sake.
I was thinking about lessor weight guys that had weaknesses despite their left hook power. Cyclone Hart comes to mind (who Hagler said had him on '***** street'.)
Look at the left hook Shavers caught Lyle with.
Too many to even look at. Smokin' Joe had a wallop.
And, for the record, f**k Cooney! He fought a competitive fight against Larry and then what?...not step back into the ring for over two years???
He should have been back in six months, fighting regularly and ready a rematch in that two year hiatus. I've always compared Cooney with Ingo, mucho talent with no real desire to fight for a living. Do you think a Cooney Sunday shot on Ingo would have hurt him any worse than Floyd's bomb?
SRR's bomb against Fullmer?
There is no best left hooker. Many out there. Many landed cleanly, many didn't.

 

Ricard O. Lopez

 

When I think Heavyweight Left Hooks, Joe Frazier always comes to mind first. At the lower weights, Sugar Ray Leonard, separating Dave Boy Green from his senses.

 

oh, another shitty heavyweight dick measuring thread... well, as you were...

 

Olivares decapitates everyone.

 

Do you have face buried in a midget's lap?

No, I like the big boys fine. Just the proliferation of who's the hardest hitting heavy threads is low brow defined. It's getting tedious.

 

Ricard O'Lopez. And that's period, not p4p either.

 

bob foster but the one I like watching most is florentinio Fernandez.
the best hooks ive seen are robinson on fullmer, foster on mike quarry and Vicente rondon and carlos palomino on dave boy green who also got flattened by a sugar ray leonard left hook which was a belter

 

180 pound Jack Dempsey hopped 245 pound Jess Willard into the air with a short hook digging into the body about 30 seconds before the end of round three, and he broke huge spar mate George Godfrey's ribs with it.

Somewhat difficult to discern are the left hooks to Gus Ruhlin's body by Jim Jeffries which dropped the Akron Giant and fractured his ribs in their title rematch. Prime Jeff claimed he never unloaded with full force out of fear of killing an opponent.

Langford put out a peak Wills twice with a single hook when past 30.

I wonder what the "Hook from Hell" which Patterson left Ingo's leg twitching with might have done to Liston had he somehow managed to land it on Sonny like that.

Henry Cooper's left hook, known in England as Enery's Ammer, was a devastating punch as Muhammad Ali could testify
