Was Foster`s KO over Tiger a result of the greatest hook ever thrown?

    Foster hitting Mike Quarry , I thought he'd killed him.

    I always dug the left hook Jersey Joe Walcott landed on Ezzard Charles to finally win the heavyweight title. It was a thing of beauty.

    The way he set up and delivered the knock out blow was poetry.

    Sheriff Bob certainly had a killer left hook though. As previously mentioned both the Quarry and Tiger fights were examples of both his technique and power. Foster was definitely one of the best left hook artists in boxing history.

    Cheers All.

    Both Carlos Palomino and Sugar Ray Leonard knocked out Dave "Boy" Green with terrific left hooks.
