    Henry certainly had a beauty of a left hook. He meant business when he threw that sucker.

    I love that every boxer on the list gets multiple votes. They all have wicked left hooks. :)

    My Mum is neck and neck with Joe Frazier, really says something about the “Golden era”

    I think of Cooney more as a body puncher and his hook as more of an uppercut.

    Liston made the cut but not on the top 10. He is #12 for best hookers.

    Tyson made the cut but like Liston not on the top 10. Tyson is #13 for best hookers.

    Tyson also has the #1 spot for Best Uppercutters and also made the #7 spot for best body punchers.

    Morrison didn't make the cut for anything.

    Frazier's leaping left hook is an absolute beauty!

    Given that Frazier built his ATG career on that shot, and given that he's only lost to two ATG heavyweights in his career (one of which is ATG No.1) - my favorite hooker is Frazier.
