As far as left hooks go, Frazier's is probably the most famous in boxing history. It was quick, short, and powerful. However, i think the fact that it was essentially his only punch add to its lure.
I'd say Liston's hook was more devastating. But Frazier is a solid #2.Comment

Could not say that better myself, correct me if I am wrong guys, how many fighters can say they fought ali for at least 30 rounds, I think only Fraizer & Norton canOriginally posted by cpleThey don't make fighters like they use to. Joe Frazier wasn't particularly talented or big. But what he lacked in those categories, he more than made up for it with possibly the greatest determination i've ever seen. He was the absolute definition of relentless, especially to the body, his defense is very underrated, and his left hook was a thing of beauty. In fact, it was his only meaningful punch in his arsenal. He barely used his jab or right and opponents knew this. They still couldn't do a thing.
As for best win, it is unquestionably his first fight with Ali. On the biggest stage of his career, he put on a performance of a lifetime. Next would be his destruction of Jimmy Ellis.
