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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Well, did you know Frazier was employed by a slaughter house decapitating 1,200 pound steers.
One punch, head on the floor.

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.yancey wrote:170 MPH, huh?HomicideHenry wrote: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.
