    I really don't think any heavyweight ever had a better left hook than Joe Frazier.

    I think there has been a few that hit harder.
    Frazier had the facility to throw it all night.

    Morrison had the more devastating left hook. If I were a heavyweight boxer and had to take a single left hook from either one of them, I'd pick Joe and pray for the best.

    The finest left hooker boxing's ever was Smokin' Joe Frazier. Frazier put the legendary Muhammad Ali down with perhaps the best, and certainly most famous, left hook in the sport's history when he connected in the 15th round on March 8, 1971, at New York's Madison Square Garden.
    I don't get where people don't think Frazier's hook was as powerful as anyone else's, he knocked out and routinely hurt far more quality Fighters with it than Tyson, Morrison, and Tua combined.

    Frazier

    Morrison's hook was devastating against has beens and never weres on the way up, but it wasn't that effective once he got to contender status, although he did finish a faded Ruddock with it.

    Holyfield's left hook was better than Morrisons.

    Frazier's was better, Morrison's may have had more power with Morrison being bigger but Frazier's delivery of the left hook was better making it the more effective and dangerous punch.

    Morrison is overrated in every department.
    His left hook was powerful but there's no evidence it was better than Frazier's.

    Who did Frazier finish with his left hook who you think would have been able to withstand Morrison's?

    The evidence is in the film footage. We can see the impact of their punches on other men (and evaluate the size and chins of those men) with our own eyes.

    Also the fact that Frazier had better stamina and an unrelenting, high-pressure style. Not sure that translates into having a better left hook though.

    Yeah, we saw him knock some bums out, and some has-beens. Guys with bad chins.
    A washed-up Carl Williams went 8 rounds and was on his feet taking lots of shots when it ended. And even in his prime Williams was easy prey for left-hookers.

    Honest question-- How many seemingly impregnable chins did Joe Frazier bust with his hook?
