    what are your favourite battle of the left hookers?

    Canelo vs GGG 2 - lots of great left hooks by both dudes but since they both had iron jaws and excellent defensive skills, you didn't see any knockdowns.

    Morrison vs Ruddock - self explanatory. Morrison got the final say with a peach of a left hook.

    Frazier vs Bob Foster- a great battle in theory. Arguably the goat left hooker at hw vs the goat left hooker at light heavy. Unfortunately, Bob couldn't land a big left hook at all. Frazier did land some big ones though.

    Liston vs Williams contained some fearsome left hooking.

    Tyson - Ruddock
    Louis - Galento
    Gomez - Pintor

    Not exactly all time greats but David Price vs Alexander Povetkin is good example of left hookers going at it.

    Duran vs De Jesus II,Pipino Cuevas and Iran Barkley.

    Roberto Duran always had some good..well rounded arsenal,but his left hook was nearly,if not superb to his left hooking opponents, that's why he's here.
