1. Bob Foster - precise, super powerful, fast
2. Joe Frazier - fast, fluid, damaging
3. Ray Robinson - fast, smooth, accurate

Maybe not in the league of some already mentioned here but I have read in a number of places over the years that in terms of brute force Tony Galento had a savage left hook.

Among others, Bummy Davis, Charley White, and Ray Miller are just a few Lightweights from many years ago who were said to have tremendous left hooks.
