who has the best left hook in the heavyweight division ever?

You could make a case for everyone on that list except for Povetkin, his was excellent but just not quite on that level. Joe Louis belongs on this list without a doubt, though I think that goes for very punch in the book. Foreman could also probably find a spot as well.

 

He won’t rank inside anyone’s top 20 heavyweights but purely on his left hook Henry Cooper has to be in the mix. He troubled and dropped Ali with it and if comparing mutual opponents then Frazier struggled to land his world renowned left hook with the same effect.

This was the punch that lead to the legend of the ‘split glove’ where Angelo Dundee allegedly stuck his finger in it to make it worse thus giving Ali time to recover.
