Big Bad John. --------
Excellent list.
Two other boxers who had very good left hooks were these.
1. Charley White (birth name Charles Anchowitz).
2. Al "Bummy" Davis (birth name Albert Abraham Davidoff).

How would you rate Sonny Listons left hook?
Do you think that Sonny Listons name should be on that list?

Gerry Cooney.
Cooney KO'ing Ken Norton, the greatest boxing demolition job ever.
Ken Norton in actuality beat M. Ali three times.

Norton beat Ali once out of three, and that was when Norton was in his prime. (Hopefully this thread won't probably turn into yet another about Ali decision wins.)
The irrelevant Norton-Cooney fight took place when Norton was 37 years old and way past it.

Top class list.
Evander Holyfield was also an underrated Left hooker too.
