      bunch of the best examples have been named


      good stuff

      gonna go with a few that haven't gotten the nod
      they aren't the best with it
      but they are some of the hardest ever thrown


      donovan ruddock
      gerald mcclellan (according to emanuel steward the g man knocked out over fifteen men with the same combination, right hand up top and the hook to the body)
      floyd patterson
      george foreman

          Definitely RJJ, Foreman, Frazier and Tyson.

          Duran's and Trinidad's were pretty sweet too.

          Duran throwing left hooks is like a perfect picture of boxing.

                Jeff Lacy...hence the name "Left Hook"

                    To the body it was Carlos Palomino imo.

                    What he did to John Stracey in particular was sickening.

                      I agree with a lot of the previous mentions but I'd like to add a couple guys I haven't seen listed

                      Oscar De La Hoya had one of the best left hooks I've ever seen.

                      Mike Tyson had a tremendous left hook that he was able to put big men away with a single shot.

                      Not sure if Miguel Cotto has been mentioned but his left hook has always been impressive and is his best punch.
