Where does Whyte's left hook rank?

Ever? My list goes

1. Joe Frazier
2. Tommy Morrison
3. Joe Louis
4. Mike Tyson
5. Floyd Patterson
6. Wladimir Klitschko
7. Gerry Cooney
8. Sonny Liston
9. Dillian Whyte
10. Razor Ruddock

 

Liston only at 8 ? Nah.

As for Whyte, i don‘t think he has proven that he has a top 10 ATG left hook, it‘s certainly a very good left hook though.

 

Good, but not great, and far off from the top 10 AGT left hooks.

 

Well first man to floor Parker, second man to floor Chisora... and to be honest, I don't think that will ever happen again.

Whyte KOd Chisora harder than Haye did. He always finds a way to land it.

We should review when he retires.

I love Povetkins hooks too.

 

Here's some quotes of Whyte's opponents on his punching power.

Dereck Chisora: "Nobody hits like Whyte. If anybody hit harder than Whyte, I'd have to physically burn him."

Joseph Parker: Dillian hit me harder than any other fighter, including Hughie Fury. He hit me and I was face down on the canvas hearing morbidly obese ukulele player Israel Kamakawiwo'ole."

Dave Allen: "Dillian could poonch you in the neck with his right 'and an' mek ya fookin **** exploohd."

Anthony Joshua: "Dillian hit me so hard, he shook up my kinfolk back in Watford."

Lucas Browne: "Crikey mates! That's the hardest I've ever been hit in my life. And Ruslan Chagaev could punch, but none of them could hit like Dillian Whyte did. When he hit me, my tattoos went walkabout and I grew a new head of hair. I can laugh about it now, but at the time, it wasn't funny."

 

Had me weak

 

I'm a big Sonny fan but who would you have him above?

 

Liston is top 5 imo, I wouldn‘t have guys like Wlad above him because he wasn‘t really a prolific left hooker, he had the quality but not the quantity, i think both needs to be taken into consideration.

Patterson‘s left hook wasn‘t nearly as dangerous as Listons.

Liston had the best jab hook combo in hw history, Wlad is a close second.

 

I’d probably replace Whyte with Tua and move Liston higher.

 

Heres the problem.

Whyte hasn't knocked out enough guys with the actual left hook.

Maybe later or whenever I will go back to every fight he had if possible and see what punch he ended it with ?

Most top left hookers are known for that punch alone being a ONE shot power ALL the time.

Its not the case for Whyte,bc he needs to be in almost perfect position to really generate that impact.

But when it does its as hard as any one., that's 250 pounds behind it too.

I thought the Parker knock down the 2nd one was one of the best, via a Frazier /Ali knockdown with more verocity on it.


Watch out for this guy,hes creating a left hook killer image himself.

I dont know, Whyte put Parker on his arse who has a titanium chin, knocked Chisora out cold, has two of the top 5 best knockouts of the last 3-5 years with that left hook. It’s certainly one of the most devastating left hooks that we’ve seen in boxing. If he lands it clean, you’re gone.
