Joe Frazier
Mike Tyson
Joe Louis

Obviously Joe had the left-hook rep, but Tyson is far more powerful and dynamic as a hitter. Louis a distant third!

Walcott was another one with a great hook. I'd probably put his over Tyson's too.

Tyson

Shavers, Norton, Ruddock, Quarry, Cooney, Morrison; all booming left hooks.

Frazier's was a little better than Tyson's, Tyson's a little better than the Brown Bomber's. They are probably the top 3 for heavyweights, though there are some other's not that far behind.

Dempsey has to be in the argument.

joe louis.....not as wide as the others.....could hook off a jab....hooked from conventional stance....and with great speed and power..

How'd that work out for him against Ezz?

Just sayin'......

Louis was way past it when he fought Charles. He was old and coming off a layoff.

Frazier, Louis and then Tyson.

I would put Frazier tops, but anyone who doubts the power of Louis's left hook needs to watch him nearly decapitate Al Ettore with the hook . . BRUTAL knockout.

Louis's left hook is underrated because his right hand was so good.

Frazier

Tyson
Louis

Dempsey's left hook was once clocked at 170 mph. I think he has an argument to be up there with Joe Frazier. Jesus bless.

170 MPH, huh?

Well, did you know Frazier was employed by a slaughter house decapitating 1,200 pound steers.

One punch, head on the floor.

All day, every day.

Amazing isnt it....shame these three couldnt have tested their left hooks on one person so they could give an informed opinion...

Louis once threw a left hook so hard, that it ripped open a hole in the space time continuum. NASA is still trying to repair it.
