These men specialized in one of the most dangerous punches in the sport. The infamous left hook. Please feel free to add your own picks to this list.
1. Jersey Joe Walcott: Whether it landed to the body or the head, it looked more like abuse then an actual punch. Knocked out Ezzard Charles with one swift left hook.
2. Joe Frazier: When Ali got up from Frazier’s left hook in their first fight, it may’ve been his greatest accomplishment in terms of taking a punch. Gave the impression that he could separate a man’s torso with the left. Jerry Quarry’s two fights with Frazier are proof that he has the heart of 10 Lion tribes.
3. Joe Louis: Anything he threw was a knockout punch. The left hook is a punch so he’s on this list.
4. Mike Tyson: The left uppercut into the left hook or vice versa puts him on this list. Makes a great highlight film with that punch alone. Too bad he’s an anti-social personality disorder.
5. Oscar De La Hoya: Threw the left hook with bad intentions and great results. The theme of Oscar’s fights changed when he caught a fighter flush with the punch.
6. Henry Cooper: Anything he caught with his left would go down, including a young Cassius Clay. Problem was, he bled quarts of blood if touched on the face.
