Who had the best left hook in boxing?
Any weight, any era, who do you think had the most devastating left hook (or right hook if southpaw)?
What was your favourite hook thrown in a fight?
For me Sugar Ray, Tommy Morrison & Joe Frazier spring immediately to mind.

Reverse your order and you will be spot on.Clint Magnum wrote:Any weight, any era, who do you think had the most devastating left hook (or right hook if southpaw)?

Bob Foster and Floyd Patterson also come to mind. Hard to forget the hooks Foster laid on the great Dick Tiger and Mike Quarry. Same with the hook Floyd put on Ingo.
My favorite hook would probably be the one Frazier used to take out Foster.

At heavyweight, probably Joe Frazier. Pound for pound and in any division? I haven't a clue. Too many to choose from.

Re: Who had the best left hook in boxing?
Dempsey's could spark a gut clean. Frazier's was devastating but he tended to grind guys down more. Foster's was amazing.

Olivares had the best left hook - awesome, fast and precise.
Julio Cesar Chavez had the best body hook - absolutely wicked.
