    His right uppercut was better.

    Best left hook ever, hmm.

    Robinson is up there. Frazier, Trinidad, Dempsey, to name a few.

        I agree he had a better uppercut IMO also. The hook opened up his opponents for the uppercut.

        The best hook ever also depends on weightclass. Obviously there would be more 1 punch lefthook KO's in the higher weights but does that make them better? But I like the start of your list Hydro but of course its just to name a few there are many more equally good ones not listed.

              It was in my opinion 1 of the best in the Heavyweight division but not the hardest. His Uppercut was probably the best tho. Tyson actually said himself that his right was his best punch but he never catches any1 with it!

                Botha, Bruno, Spinks, Tubbs, Holmes, Berbick, Ribalta, Douglas, and many other guys would beg to differ.

                    I think I've seen Tyson throughout his career be more effective with his right than his left, although he was good with both.

                    Tyson is a strange fellow.
