    Has he used it since the Brewster loss? I doubt as i haven't seen him use it.

    And he barely throws left hooks any more, which i think they are far more lethal than his right hand imo.

    the hooks that hurt and droped mercer and bostice and and wobbled Peter (which he barely threw it in that fight). and others prior to the brewster loss

    Can't remember if he jabbed before KOing Austin or not, but you have a point.

    His left hook off the jab does carry great power, although he doesn't exactly turn his body weight into it correctly. Doesn't seem to matter though cause he's such a powerful man that it hurts you no matter how he throws it.

    Wald is a good winning fighter now but he's not as fun to watch as before. Before he lost to Sanders he was a fighting machine. The guy had everything offensively( jab, powerful left hook, power straight right ). Yea I miss that jab, jab, left hook...

    Wlad ko´ed Ray Austin with the left hook.

    He did not throw it against Ibragimov because Ibragimov is a southpaw.

    Um...you can work the hook pretty well against a southpaw, especially with the height and reach advantage Wlad has.

    have u dullards even seen wlad's fights? just 1 fight prior to iggy against brewster, he looked better than he EVER has. he constantly hooked off the jab and fired several uppercuts. he ko'ed austin with three left hooks. he utilized the hook off the jab in rounds 5-7 against brock. he flashed it against byrd in 06. one lackluster fight against a defensive minded fighter is not enough to get down on wlad. have u seen iggy's other fights? holyfield, briggs....my gosh, there were equally as bad maybe worse

    some of u guys make statements that are ludacris...should be writing for The Ring.

    He hooked off the jab against Brock, Byrd, Brewster II, Ibragimov, and against Austin ...

    Its very clear to see ... Wlad starts off with the jab, then all of a sudden hooks off of it.

    that is misleading, he really throws left hook but the miss opponent which look like he is trying to clinch
