Best Left Hooks ?

The late Reg Gutteridge always said that Henry Cooper had the best left hook, Reg would always say "Of any, ANY, Heavyweight ". Cooper's shot was actually a thing of beauty. A scalpel rather than a bludgeon.
Tony Sibson's left hook was attached to one of the nicest, most unspoilt blokes in Boxing in his era.
Colin Jones. A weapon of terror. Only to be shown after the watershed.

 

C'mon guys, you cannot talk about left hooks without Nonito Donaire.

 

Trinidad had the chunkiest left hook I’ve ever seen.

 

Very good fighter. Unheralded these days

 

Felix Trinidad
Ruben Olivares
Joe Frazier
Sugar Ray Robinson
Nonito Donaire
Alexis Arguello
Alfonso Zamora

 

Certainly my favorite left hook.

 

Sonny Banks, Henry Cooper and Joe Frazier. Anyone who put Ali down has to have major bragging rights. And, of the three:-

Your ‘Enry (to all our Brit friends) put Muhammad down the hardest and had him the most hurt. The respect that Ali afforded Cooper in all the years following spoke for itself. Ali never forgot the hammer.

Honourable mention at the least: The three consecutive, lightning fast left hooks, each fully laden and devastating in their own right, with which Louis put Max Baer down. I can’t say that I’ve seen any other fighter replicate same, all features considered.

 

Can Joshua Clottey get some love ?

 

Oscar Delahoya

 

Marco Antonio Barrera

 

Miguel Cotto

 

Oh Cmon! Banks never ko'd anybody ranked in the top 50!

 

1. Sugar Ray Robinson- Speed, 1 shot KO power, he could double and triple it not to mention loose it on the move.
2. Joe Louis-quick, deadly and short. Hook off the jab.
3. Pipino Cuevas- the jaw breaker
4. Sonny Liston- scary weapon, nobody could take it.
5. Bob Foster- 1 shot will stiffen your joints.

 

Only one of three to legitimately drop Ali as a pro - “Bragging rights” - capiche??
