    Morrisons is the man but not number 1...

    I would have Frazier as number one to be honest.

    I think Wlad should have made it into the jab list.

    LMAO! How in the hell did Jerry Cooney have a top 5 left hook? LMAO! Tyson 3? WTF? 2 maybe behind Smokin' Joe, but Tommy Morrison? Puleaze!

    How did Ali eat that ish!

    Eh, yeah. I wouldn't even put Morrison in the list tbh. He had a powerful left hook but he's not in the top 5 for heavyweights.

    not my list- but a good effort- interesting to note is that the jabbers are all the tall long heavies, and the hookers are all the compact, short guys. consistent with ring theory.

    one guy id have on both lists is foreman- he had a wicked hook and a heatseeking jab which was always in peoples faces.

    As far as single left hooks, I think Pacquiao's left hook that KO'd Hatton is the greatest in boxing history.

    A good left hook but nowhere near the greatest, that would be Ray Robinsons on Gene Fulmer, it was like he barely threw it.

    Wasn't that a straightish left, rather than a left hook?

    Wlad has a good left hook, but he doesn't use it the much so wouldn't have put it on the top 5, his jab is up there, probably behind Holmes who wins that hands down. I agree with the top 5 for hooks, but maybe in a different order with Cooney and Tua swapping places. Morrison and Frazier are a tough choice for top. For mechanics probably Frazier, but for actual power probably Morrison.

    Personally i like Listons jab

    Not bad lists but i would probably tweak the order a bit
