who has the best hook

[stevenking]

now i want to know who has the best hook, and to know if there is some king of title for the best hook and if there is not we need to start something. I want to also know who is the person i can talk to about getting a title for the best hook. There are good hookers and some people like me that only no how to hook so if any one can help that would be great. Thank you.

Mike West, Frank Hirst, Brzenk, and a handfull of others all come to mind. However, how would you even determine who had the "best" hook? What criteria would someone use to judge? I think that's just a little hard to name someone the best hooker, other than seeing who wins the armwrestling match between them.

John has the best hook ever to grace a table, hands down no question.

[stevenking]

what i am looking for is who can win in the hook hands down like simon said and also is there a person who can win every time and the hook, may be this a better question and is there a wayy too improve a hook could be another question

[Chris Thomas]

Bryon Thomas has a crazy hook, which in my opinion is the best in the country, pound for pound. If you end up in it, you are probably going to lose.

Devin is a shoulder roller. Thread reopen

Devin may be a shoulder roller, but he has the strongest hook on the planet right now. John has the best hook ever. Ron, Marcio, Michael Todd are also to be mentioned for guys from North America.

[jamesretarides]

Pound for pound left and right arm, the best hook in North America belongs to Georgi Gelashvilli.

You should have left it closed. Now the debates will begin.

umm... no

Devon can use a "shoulder roll" but rarely does.

Of course he rarely uses it. Because he rarely has to use. He is a great AW. and very well rounded. His TR, Hook are incredible. But when he comes up against a equal or stronger hook, he shoulder rolls to finish his opponent as he should. He is also a great shoulder roller.

Besides.....I am just giving Pete crap.

[John Milne]

Please carry on Bob.

I love it when people give Pete crap. If there is anyone who deserves it it's that man. ;D


These videos have been posted before and I hope they help the thread starter/others interested.










p.s. I haven't seen an equal or stronger hook in a couple of years and I think his style has changed some. I think he would very rarely use a shoulder roll now to pin an oponent.

I'd love to see a match where someone ties him up in inside and gives him hell. John thinks Ferit could possibly do it and that would be a match I'd very much like to see.

Devon maybe able to hook anyone RIGHT, BUT he won't be able to hook "SOME" LEFT!!!!!
