Better Left Hook: De La Hoya or Roy Jones Jr.?

[Vanilla Gorilla]

Discuss........

I'm gonna go with Delahoya's left hook to be the heavier of the 2. He has the snap to drop guys with one shot. Then again so does Roy.

Oscar's is great and as powerful pound-for-pound, but it's a loaded up hook he throws only in the pocket off a right hand. Roy led with it, threw it from more angles, didn't need to set it up. You never saw Roy pocket the hook for an entire fight, but you did see Oscar do it.

WHAT HE SAID.........

THAT BEING SAID,I VOTED OSCAR......THE ONE IN MY SIG WAS A BEAUTY HAHA, ROCK CHINNED MAYORGA DOWN WITH ONE SHOT...I KNOW IT WAS MORE THE SPEED, BUT **** IT...

Roy Jones hit Bryan Brannon with 7, count them, 7 left hooks in a row and they all had power behind them.

How much power did they really have if a guy could stand there and take 7?

No bull****, he hit Brannon with 7 left hooks w/power at that. Just think if Jones would have just sat on one the way DelaHoya does. It would be NO discussion then. Anyway Jones hands down. The man knocked out Griffin w/ a leaping left hook(hookercut) whatever you want to call it. Again. Jones hands down.

I have to say DLH's is better just becuase he launches it from so many different angles and its sneeky and deceptive. Roys is just blazing fast and powerfull..its like you might see it coming but there is nothing you can do about it..lol..

Roy could throw his left hook from more angles than Oscar can. I saw RJ throw a KO left hook with both his hands behind his back & the other guy had his hands up. But Floyd, Cotto, & Tito also have beautiful left hooks.

True..Its hard to decide who has the best left hook..Floyds is nice and compact and quick, Cotto's is kinda like DLH's..its a sneaky left hook. Titos is just a nasty destructive left hook..and Roys is blazingly fast and powerfull..so many great left hookers its hard to decide..lol
