Does Pacquiao have the best straight left hand of all time?

can think of any...p4p the best straight left hand...so fast and his vunerability makes it a lot stronger, you just dont see it coming

 

No Miguel Cotto does.

 

He has the most famous "left straight" in boxing.

 

"This is getting embarrassing...Death by a thousand left hands!"


-- Larry Merchant

 

Larry has also referred to Pacquiao's left as the best weapon in boxing and one of the best in the history of the sport. I couldn't agree more.

 

i'd say he has the most famous Bent left hand of all time



uhhhhh madamoiselle roach!!!!

 

maybe so, maybe so... can't think of a bigger left handed hitter off the top of my head. There are some right handers with left hooks as good as Pac's straight left though.

 

3 people have voted no though... I wonder if they can name who they think has a better straight left?

 

If it isn't it has to be amongst the best.

 

P4P maybe, Michael Moorer knocked out a lot of men a lot bigger than himself with that awesome left of his.

Marvin Hagler's left wasn't bad.

Same goes with Vic Darchiniyan, pretty powerful also.

I always think of Vasily Jirov and his left liver hook to Terry McGroom for some reason too.

Asero - What the hell does "vunerability" have to do with making his left stronger?

 

Lol, I didn't want to say anything but I was thinking that since they voted no and didn't back it up that there's a chance it's just the Pac-hate that they feel.

I would vote yes but I'm not well versed in boxing history. I was actually genuinely interested in who they thought had a better straight left.

 

put this thread in the classic and see what the guys there think of it
