The hardest left hook?

There's the power of a hook and then there's the timing of a hook. Robinson's hook was perfectly timed, rather than simply being a powerful punch

 

Dal Hawkins (a forgotten crippler)
Charley White
George KO Chaney(southpaw whose left cross and left hook were unbelievably powerful)
Eduardo Lausse
Cyclone Hart

 

Florentino Fernandez?

 

Or the hook that John Lester Johnson laid on Dempsey that made him avoid colored fighters for the rest of his days.

That is an impressive feat.

 

Good call.


I always forget him for some reason! Age??:huh

 

lausse is a good call.

 

It's well known Dempsey would not get into a ring with Black fighters.
These are some of his "vanilla" spar-mates.

Florentinio certainly belongs on the short list of big left hookers!

 

I've sparred with guys I would never think of fighting.

Apparently I am not the only one!
