I don't remember who Frazier was fighting against but I remember Frazier knocking this countender out with 4-5 effective left hooks in a row, crazy ****... Dude was out cold...

        i'm sorry but frazier was not one dimensional. i think you are confusing frazier with tyson. tyson's a myth. frazier was a real fighter with real accolades. i think you are just jealous of frazier's success.

            No, Earnie Shavers or Joe Louis had better left hooks, and that's just the heavies. Plenty of lighter weights also had better hooks.......

              Yes Frazier was kind of one dimensional compared to Tyson but thats what gives him the best left hook ever, noone can throw so many powerful and effective left hooks like Frazier... Noone relied on the left hook as much as Frazier did, you can see that on the Ali and Bonavena fights...

                      well he still put Ali on his ass with it. Trinidad had a good left, but he didnt end fights as much with it compared to Frazier. Trinidad used hooks and rights, Tyson used uppercuts and hooks, Shavers used rights, Frazier used the LEFT HOOK.
