When many think about who had the best left hook or hook in general in boxing of all-time, often boxing fans will go straight to Joe Frazier.
An dynamite left hook, the likes of which cut through the heavyweight division like a knife through butter during his era.
One fighter of that time was of course George Foreman.
A man who took Frazier off his feet with an uppercut.
It turns out Foreman rates someone you might not have heard of before as having the best left hook ever.
Speaking on his official Twitter account Foreman noted:
“Best left hook I ever saw was that of Jesus Pimentel; a small man but pure boxer. Giant of fundamentals.”
Jesus Pimentel was a Mexican bantamweight who made his name in America back in the sixties for his electric punching power.
He amassed a professional boxing record of 76-7-68 KO.
Here is his last ever fight in 1971 at the Forum in Inglewood, California:
