    Canelo's left hook is multidimensional, he can lead, counter, go to the body. Lemieux's is one dimensional with it, he needs his opponent to sit in front of him to land it. Even Garcia's left hook is better in my opinion.

    Golovkin gets a mention, then again there isn't a punch Golovkin doesn't throw well.

      When I think left hook artist I think someone who was completely dependent on his left hook.

      Like Frazier and Tua was.

      A lot of guys had great left hooks but multi dimensional.

      Liston, delahoya, etc.

        I know what you mean but then again you have some great said-punch artists, Marquez is a damn good uppercut artist for example but he isn't really dependent on that punch, for good reason as that's probably the riskiest punch one can throw. Trinidad is a good mention for left hook, he was multidimensional with it as well, better than Oscar's since he went to the body more with it as well as double up on it.

          I dunno about tito hook being better than odlh.

          Stronger yeah. But odlh hook was a thing of beauty.

                David Tua chewed up three quarters of the HW division with a left hook.

                Then ran into Lennox.
