    Golota took a real nasty amount of left hooks as did Bruno and Morrison. They didn't always drop from them coz he forgot about it sometimes but he'd mostly use it in combinations

    Edit: so did Briggs

    Yeah to be honest i see no real left hook concluders. I appreciate where you are coming from tho.

    I just watched Lewis - Golota and didn't really see the left hook doing anything in the general scheme of things. I'll revisit the others at some point.

    If were talking strictly power, Cooney,Tua,Morrison,Foreman and Liston. But if were talking accuracy plus power Louis, Frazier,Dempsey,Tyson.

    Riddick Bowe should get mentioned.
    He had an awesome close-quarters left hook.

    Not quite powerful enough to crack this list, but Jerry Quarry’s left hook threw itself ... a thing of beauty.

    Frazier
    Weaver
    Foreman
    Cooney

    Very honourable mention: Tua, Louis...Lewis at times had a fantastic hook.

    Not quite as amazing, but deserving of mention:

    Morrison, Bowe, and the heavyweight Holyfield. Norton had a nice one as well.
