    Donaire has ridiculous left hook. So much power and very good timing. Who hasn't he knocked down with that left hook?

    You know it!

    That left hook he pulled off vs Hatton in round 10 was just brilliant, never seen anything of that calibre ever.

    He kind of threw it in a hook motion. It was travelling more clockwise than straight.

    You get a better view on the replays, particularly the overhead shot.

    Trinidad had a great left hook but I don't know about top 5.

    There's been many great left hooks throughout history. It'd be pretty hard to come up with a list.

    But taking into account numerous factors, like versatility, overall effectiveness, power, I'd have to go with SRR.

    An underrated left hook artist.

    Also, Charlie White is said to have had the greatest left hook ever by many. But, because of the lack of footage it is hard to confirm.
