    Best can be a lot of things. Most technical? Fastest? Most powerfull? Most accurate?


    Tyson, Morrison, Wlad, Liston, Cooney, Frazier, Louis, Lewis, Wlad,
    and Tua are guys to look at.

    Walcott had a pinpoint pefect hook. Frazier had a long hook with his whole body behind it. Razor Rudduck powerful. Cooney had a very powerfull hook. Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and of course Dempsey and Tyson

    Frazier used his the most effectively while Patterson delivered it with most speed. A lot of non great heavys like Morrison, Conney and Copper had great let hooks as well.

    Joe had broken his arm as a youngster wrestling with a hog. It healed up slightly crooked...Joe couldn't straighten his arm out properly again. Perhaps this 'handicap' contributed to his left hooks unique lethality.

    Regardless of his other shortcomings, Tommy Morrison's hook was incredible.

    Commentators described it as faster and more accurate than Tyson's, and I don't know if I'd dispute that.
