Gatti has one of the best Left Hooks in the sport at the moment. The shot he KO'd Dorin with was brutal. Kostya Tszyu has a very good and powerful left hook, as does Ricky Hatton especially to the body

the hook gatti used to chop dorin in half was a great body punch, but hatton has finished lots of opponents witht that same shot im gonna say hatton to the body but gatti is right up there both are brutal hook fighters.

Yeah, but Kostya's left hook is **** compared to his straight right..

Hatton's body shots are more about accumilation. He is a pure bodypuncher, his main powershots are nearly all to the body and really lets them rip once he's got his opponents set up.

His straight right is his best punch by far but he has a very underated left hook. The second fight with Sharmba showed this, every time he landed, it shook him to his feet.

Then again every punch he took in that fight shook him to his feet

That's true, KT's left hook is kinda slow, i think the only reason why no one counters it, is because of that sickly disgustingly powerful straight right.

Mayweather's compact left hook is by far the best at 140.

He makes strange faces while throwing it as well.

Yeah, he has the most versatile left hook in the 140lb division. He can counter with it, lead with it (very effectively), throw it to the body, and throw it retreating. But generally when people talk about how has the best punch they are normally talking about power, so you won't find too many people who share your views.
