Not many will remember Pat 'Black Flash' Barrett from Manchester a former British/European Champion during the 1980s. A very underrated fighter who sadly didn't fulfil his true potential. Therefore ive taken the time to create this thread as there is not many topics of discussions on pat... In my opinion Pat Barrett possessed the most perfectly delivered left hook in Boxing both past and present. Not only did Barrett have the perfect Technique to throwing the certain punch but also was blessed with natural knock-out power. I know this is a strong statement as there has been many past champions who had great left hooks themselves...Joe Frazier, Tommy Morrison, David Tua, Felix Trinidad, Oscar De La hoya among more but none that I admired more than Barretts. click the link and judge yourself, if not name a few over the years with the left hook.

Ray Robinson is supposed to of thrown the greatest left hook of all time. Frazier is right up there, and Oscar De La Hoya deserves a mention too.
