        Joe Frazier said his left hook was so good because he had poor vision in his left eye and he used the left hook to keep people infront of his right eye.

            I read somewhere that he screwed up his left elbow when he was a kid. It never healed properly or something like that............

              Nah... Frazier also had great body work and body to head work. He was intelligent.

                Frazier's was better. Dempsey is up there, too.

                  Tyson's right was by far his best. I can still here that Thump! on Holmes' noggin!

                  As far as left hooks go, Smokin' Joe's was cream of the crop, but honorable mentions go to Ray Leonard (KO4 Green--a horrifying shot), Tua, Holyfield, Cuevas, and Ray Robinson (KO'd previously unstoppable Gene Fullmer with one hook). Just one level below is Gerry Cooney's. He had that long left hook, but it sure did crack his opponents.
