    Still love Mike Tyson's left hook, his entire body was built for that, and the right uppercut.

    Love him or hate him, De La Hoya has a brilliant left hook; pinpoint accuracy and the full extent of his reach is devastating. Love that KO of Vargas.

    RJJ's is not as concussive but is brilliant at keeping people off their game.

    Graziano's was like a wrecking ball, absolute destruction.

    Tommy Morrison had a picture perfect hook in his prime, that was extremely powerful.

    Enzo Maccarinelli's Left Hook to the body. I wanted to see how David Haye would stand up to them, but obviously Enzo didn't get the chance to land them.

    I agree, his left hook was about as good as it gets. He had such a natural release.

    Agreed, in the early 90's many thought that Morrison's hook was better than Tyson's, though, I always thought Tyson's was the best out there.:good

    Yeah, I thought Tommy's hook is more natural in its power, and Tyson's was more technical. Tyson was built more for combos while Tommy just needed that one shot to put most guys on ***** street.

    Did Graziano ever throw a left hook? What I saw was mostly feeling jabs and over hand rights? Or him holding someone with his left as he flayed away with his right?

    I agree, and a vastly overrated fighter also.
