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.

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.

Holyfield, Frazier, Roy Jones & Tony demarco are some of the best.

.....add joe louis to this list. short,, fast and devastating...

the best i've seen in the last 20 or so has to be Roy Jones..

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.

Bob Foster.

Best left hook to the body: Rodolfo “El Gato” Gonzalez.

Best left hook in British boxing was either Ensley Bingham or Colin Jones.

the best left hook ever thrown was by don curry against Milton mccrory - but you wont see it because its too damned fast for the human eye to see

Jose "Mantequilla" Napoles
Nino Benvenuti

Jack Dempsey & Mike Tyson had deadly Left Hooks.
