    Was watching the Tommy Morrison/Razor Ruddock again recently and I noticed the first 2 knockdowns/standing count in this brawl was actually the result of right hands (uppercuts) despite both being primarily big left hookers. It just made me think of other noted HW left hookers and which one had the best or underrated right hands?

    Yep definitely morrison, cooney very rarely used his. Frazier would throw it out sometime s but was just paving the way for left. Tua I can't recall hardly ever throwing it.

    Frazier had the best right hand. He didn`t carry the most power with It but he used it to better effect than any of those other guys. Joe always had the right hand busy especially to the body and occasionally the head. He had a sneaky right uppercut. Guys like Ruddock and Cooney`s right hands were non factors totally.
