    There is nothing at all special about Wlad's left hook.

    Im sorry but Wlad and Lewis dont deserve a mention.

    Best of all time at HW, Morrison, Frazier, Tyson, Tua

    At the lighter weights i always liked ODLH, and Titos short left.

    Dempsey has one of the greatest left hooks of all time...

    But did David Tua have the most powerful left hook? That's the question.

    Ruiz had a **** chin, and as a result of the Tua fight adopted an ugly style to protect that **** chin.

    Put Ruiz in with a prime Tyson 10 times, and all 10 times it ends within a round.

    Shavers almost knocking Holmes cold is more impressive than anything Tua's ever done.

    Ruiz had a solid chin you muppet. Ugly style or not; he wasn't even knocked down again until he fought Haye, miles past his best.

    Yeah, getting knocked out by Tyson indicates you have a china chin right? :rolleyes:

    Ruiz had a solid chin, and no amount of gibbering imbecility from a Tyson fanboy is going to change that.

    Tua knocking four top fighters clean unconscious is more impressive than anything Shavers has ever done.
