    Underrated left hooks: Dick Tiger, Tony DeMarco and Jeff Merritt

    Best left hooks to the liver: Kid Azteca, Rodolfo Gonzalez, Ruben Olivares, Carlos Zarate and Julio Cesar Chavez.

    I know Marciano is known for his right but I feel his left hook was a terrific, under appreciated weapon ... he often used it to bulldoze his way inside and it was a nasty punch to the head of body. Watch how he uses it to bust up Archie Moore ... very effective and brutal punch.

    Accuracy, speed, power and ability to double/treble and even quadruple it? There's only 1 answer....

    A Prime Roy Jones deserves a mention.

    I'm not saying "best ever", but his lightning lefthooks were great.
