    In chronological order:
    Jack Dempsey's left-hook that dropped the 70 pound heavier Jess Willard ,July 4, 1919.
    The perfect left-hook uppercut that flattened Ezzard Charles,thrown by Jersey Joe Walcott
    July 18, 1951...
    And the shot heard "round the world", thrown by Joe Frazier,in the 15th round that floored
    Ali, in the FOTC, which i was priveleged to see March 8, 1971.

    But did Dempsey have a loaded glove?

    Floyd Patterson...when he nearly decapitated Ingemar Johansson in 1960 to regain the crown...no other left hook was more picturesque and lethal, in my opinion.

    Holyfield's left hook was underrated. Dropping Mercer and Bowe for the first time in their careers and landing 3 consecutive on Tyson in the 10th (or was it 11th?) before putting him away. All left hooks.
