    I'd say it's a toss up between Wlad and Brewster.

    Brewster's left hook is menacing.

    Wladimir Klitschko has the best left hook in Heavyweight Boxing

    Haye looks like he'd take your head off and hand it to you.

    Nah, not really.

    He can't deliver it from angles, neither does he throw it to the body at all.
    I would actually rate James Toney's left hook much, much higher.

    Wladimir DOES have a very powerful short left hook, but that's all.

    to be fair, Wlad does hook off the jab from time to time

    He has a very powerful short left hook, it's powerful even when he hooks it off the jab, but it looks stiff.. like Kessler's left hook off the jab.

    Speaking power, he's up there. Speaking using it skillfully, he's not even close to the top.. IMHO.
    And I am a huge fan of his.

    Wlad has 2 basic left hooks that he throws, one is a hook off the jab which is less powerful but has that element of surprise & the other is a planted, more conventional type left hook which is more powerful but a bit easier to defend against.

    You hit it on the head there, when he uses it it's powerful.
    But he does not use it as skillfully as a guy like James Toney.

    Samuel Peter has a very powerful left hook as well, so does Shannon Briggs if he's still fighting.
