      Nonito Donaire throws a mean left hook and he uses it almost like a jab at times.

      Take a look at the shot that stopped Vic...also watch his follow up fight with Maldonado....his left hand may be the most underrated punch in the sport and Nonito may be the most underrated fighter in the sport!

            Yeah, if we mention Tye Fields we're gonna have a server breakdown and the site will go kaput. There's a reason why he's a southpaw so it would be more difficult to throw the left hook so as not to slaughter his opponents face.

            Now, my real answer would be Cotto if he started training like Zelenoff to attain a 701 lb. left hook.

              cotto does some really hurtfull bodywork with his left.
              although oscar being bigger, also does a lot of damage with his left hook. for me it's a tie.

              and let's not forget tua has not officially retired and is aiming to fight the winner of arreola-witherspoon. as long as that man is in the game, i dont think anyone comes close

                Cotto arguably has the best left hook in boxing, his trademark left hook to the body is one the best and most effective punches in boxing.

                Wladimir Klitschko also has a great left hook...If you look at my sig you will see the amazing quadruple left hook KO from Wlad, a 6,6 245 lb man throwing a quadruple left hook with that handspeed and power is downright scary.

                  Are you listening to your self?

                  Did you see how many times Floyd missed with that left hook against Hatton?
                  It took Floyd 10 rounds to get it right. You don't need me to make a video of how wild and sloppy Floyd's left was that night do you?

                  And besides, it was the same thing over and over and over again. Ricky prodding, Floyd backs up into a corner and swings. 10 rounds it took. That was not perfection, that was a hail Mary that finally worked against a very one dimmensional fighter who had nothing in his game.

                    Can somebody show my any videographic evidence of this great left hook that Cotto has? When has it turned around a fight or caused a sudden ending?
