    .................There can be no "ten best" lists of things like this. It's splitting too fine a hair.


    I will say that this list would have to include Eduardo Lausse, though. Anyone that can make Gene Fullmer backpedal like Ali has my respect or sure. ****ing monster hook he had.

    Tua had an absolute monster of a left hook. He just didn't have the secondary skills to implement it as well as the guys you just mentioned.

    For oldtimer boxing fans:

    1) Bummy Davis - crunching left hook!!!

    2) Tony Galento - numbing power in that short left hook!!!

    Holyfield had a nice double left hook to the body then head, not sure if it was one of the best ever but it was a nice punch.
