Who had perfected the technique of the Left Hook better, and who's LH, out of these 3, had the most power?
Tyson's left hook combinations were superior in breaking his man's guard. Unlike Tommy or Tua, he could also stop guys cold with his right hand.
Morrison had an excellent left hook it might have been the best of the three but the other two were better in just about every other area. Tua's left hook was crushing and Tyson's was very good as well and he used his great head movement to set it up but the best left hook of all time was Joe Frazier's hands down.
My topic was based around fighters that were active and could have (and should have) met in the 90's, pal. :good
Morrison had the best left hook of the 3, he was also the most athletic, but also had the worst chin.. The way Morrison out boxed Foreman in 1993, was classic:yep..
Tysons left hook was better, he proved it against much better opposition. Just ask Carl Truth Williams However, the reason Tyson wasnt just a left hooker was because he had a lot more tools than the other 2. Tua and Morrison relied on their left hooks alot more than Tyson did. Tyson could knock you out with any punch, with either hand. Even the wind of Tysons punches could knock you out. Ask Bruce Seldon
Wow tough one. Morrison often changed the fight with that left hook, always amazed how Ruddock got up from that. Tyson had the best technique check out how short some of the hooks in the Berbick fight were. Power to Tommy, I believe speed is equal between Morrison and Tyson. Tua's was a notch below in technique and speed but was just as powerful, or was it. I remember Lennox eating some hooks from Tua. Don't recall Morrison landing a good hook against Lewis, havent seen that bout in years.
Tyson and Morrison's hooks just did not measure up to the pure blunt force trauma packed behind Tua's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2ASN357twM An epitome of raw explosive power.
I think its between Tyson and Morrison. Tommy may have had the slightly better left hook , but Tyson was a better all around fighter.
Tua is one of the most overrated fighters ever.. Morrison and Tyson did something Tua couldn't, win a world a title.
Tua is pretty overrated. He knocked out a drunk Michael Moorer who didn't care about boxing anymore and got a cheap stoppage against Hasim Rahman. People who faced Tyson and Morrison say Morrison hit harder. Mercer fought Lennox Lewis another hard puncher and flat out stated Morrison hit harder. Morrison had the better hook and she showed more heart than Tyson ever did. Tyson got knocked down he lost. Morrison problem was he was a face first puncher. He was knocked down walking into punches. His chin isn't as nearly as bad as people claim.
