Tommy Morrison: Best Left Hook in HW history

[Master]

I think Gerry Cooney hit harder with his left hook.

I think Gerry Cooney hit harder with his left hook.

I agree, and at that end I think David Tua and probably Tyson hit harder with the left hook too.

But there was something about how effectively Morrison used it, the speed and compactness, how he could throw it on a milisecond notice (like the one that caught Razor Ruddock). It was just a thing of beauty to watch his left hook, for my money it was the best when you take into consideration all the factors.

I am sure Rudduck got up from "that" shot.

Best in HISTORY?!?!?! Are you out of your mind?!?!?! Frazier, Cooney, Foreman, Marciano, Dempsey, JOE LOUIS, Mike Tyson, David Tua....I mean there are TONS of left hooks better that Tommy's.

Tommy was a fun fighter to watch though, shame he died r.i.p

What was so great about Foreman, Marciano and Dempsey's left hook? Besides the power, they really didn't have nearly the finesse that Tommy had.

Cooney's was good but he didn't have nearly the speed or versitility with it.

Tyson, Tua and Frazier are the only three who I think even belong in the same conversation when it comes to left hooks.

Finesse? Why would you want to throw a left hook with finesse? Bullshit man, bull....shit

I am sure Foreman, Dempsey and Marciano had better right hands/hooks, so Beanflicker is right.

I'd never dispute that fact, or even say that Morrison belongs in the same sentence with those guys in terms of overall greatness.

But none of those guys could throw a left hook like Tommy Morrison.

The only guys who are in the same league are Frazier, Tua and Tyson IMO.
