    WAIT A MINUTE!!! The 70's are included here???? Wouldn't it be appropriate somewhat to at least mention Bob Foster?

    I noticed that nobody has mentioned Ruben Olivares yet. He has to get a mention.

    I always loved Bennie Briscoe’s hook to the body ( he also had a great one to the head ).

    Gerry Cooney wasn’t a great fighter by any stretch of the imagination but he did have a really heavy left hook.

    Cheers All.

    Right as usual RC .. The hook on Quarry, crisp and powerful. It doesn't get any better than that tbh

    Chavez was a virtuoso with the left hook.

    The way Chavez doubled up his left hooks, head and body, was just beautiful.

    He surely had one of the best and most accurate left hooks of all time.

    Can’t believe he didn’t make your list.
