Tito's left hook is simply nasty.

It's not like he's a big strong guy...what he is...is wirey. He throws the left hook so fast, it adds knockdown power at the end of the punch.

Speed = Power. Trinidad's left hook is the fastest, most blinding punch in his arsenal...and is generally regarded as a boxing trademark as far as he is concerned.

Yeah, and the ones he landed on Mayo and Oba Carr were nothing to sneeze at either. I'ts fast, vicious, and seems automatic when thrown off a combination.

i said out of the ones i put up , these were the ones me and my friends were arguing about

DLH, DEVASTATING left hook? I think not. Trinidad, yes. None of them would be rated, though, in my opinion, other than Trinidad.

EDIT: I'm not saying it isn't hard, it's just nowhere near the level of Tito's, from what I can gather. When I think devastating left hook, I think Trinidad. It's in a class of its own.

Tito has the best left hook out of those fighters but Tua and Frazier both had great left hooks.Sometimes it seemed like Smokin Joe didn't know he had a right hand.

wmute
03-09-2006, 02:15 AM
tito the hardest

but the best "fighting tool" i think jlc's: to the head or to the body, midrange or on the inside, with a straight right or with a right uppercut

of course frazier, roy jones, sugar ray robinson, jack dempsey had wicked hooks, but they are not in the poll

abdiel2k3
03-09-2006, 02:23 AM
in what sense
they all got different kinda hooks
i mean
each ones is diferent in its own way
i cant pick the best
id be glad to have any
cept jeffs
Lol


Jose Luis Castillo = not perticulurly powerful but firm quick n consistent. very versatile effective both up n down stairs. short crisp can be doubled even tripled

Diego Corrales = strong and quick but more head hunting shot not to short and not to wide tends to throw in single or right left left right

Jeff Lacy = easily worst of the bunch. "supposed power" and wide

Tito Trinidad = extremely powerful very quick usually more of head shot possibly one of the wider ones but quicknest makes up for that

Oscar De La Hoya = this ones hard cuz it really depends what weight its at when u talk about its power
its strong no matter where but is much more potent in the lower weights. extremely fast and sloppy when loadin up on it but effective both up n down also doubles it

All different weight class..

How can you compare Lacy to Castillo???

In that case, Wlad Klitschko Left Hook is the most vicious one

03-09-2006, 11:37 AM
Trinidads left hook runs away with this poll. It's a bomb...and one that completely changes a fight when he lands it.

Miguel Cotto has a pretty destructive left hook too. It absolutely BROKE Branco's body up. The entire right side of his body was smashed by it....eye, jaw, shoulder, arm, ribs....Cotto busted him up bad with it. He throws it short and hard like it should be thrown.

Burzum_666
03-09-2006, 11:41 AM
Tito easily

Left2body
03-09-2006, 12:01 PM
Well I voted for Corrales, even though I'm a HUGE Trinidad fan. My reason was that it had sustained power throughout a fight. It is more of a head hunting hook and doesnt go to the body as much as a Cotto, Trinidad or Castillo but it floored top notch guys late in fights. At any point in a fight be it Rd 1 or Rd 12 a left hook from Corrales could floor you even when he's hurt as he's showed vs Freitas, Casamayor and Castillo.

Thats my reason for pick Corrales but I wouldnt really argue with anyone who picked any of the others except for lacy whom, I always thought had a lunging wide hook like Tua.

P.S. Overall I would say the p4p most destructive left hook in boxing was prime Mike Tyson. If Tyson still had his 1987 form today he would be arrested by Bush for possessing a Weapon of Mass Destruction.

And don't forget outta the Olyimpics Oscar was at a way lighter weight with crazy power from the left side in general.

Felix is a natural power puncher cause he has that rare sling shot effect in his shoulders, back, and lower back..You can't teach to punch like that, you are either born with that attribute or you're not. I mean tito is a little guy, he go's down easy and doesn't even have broad punching shoulders...

But Oscar evaded Tito's hooks with ease and had Titos white trunks doused in Tito's own blood when they fought..

As far as who hits the hardest with the left hook...Tito hands down..

As far as who has the most effective and utilization of the left hook...Oscar, Tito, and JLC all put the left hook to great use..

he didnt run, his corner felt it wasnt nescessary to get in there and give tito a chance to catch him with a punch. oscar and his corner and most importantly me, thought that he had enough rounds in the bag so he "ran" as you guys would say. oscar himself admitted it was a mistake to do that but 99% of the people who are not hater or are not in love with tito , know that oscar won the fight.
