    I know he isn't on Chavez level at 140 but Cotto has a beautiful left hook.

    Righto ! And the best lefthooker I ever saw Al 'Bummy' Davis a lightweight who I once saw ko a man who did a backflip after a lefthook.
    But after flattening an 8-1 favorite Bob Montgomery at MSG, Al Davis hit a prime Beau Jack on the button with his left hook and NADA ! Go figure ?:good

    Yuri Arbachakov had a perfect left hook, i always wondered why he used it so little in comparison to his right.

    Canto maybe the most educated and varied one.He threw it from so many slightly different angles.

    Henry Armstrong's left hook at featherweight, lightweight, welterweight and middleweight was a great force, definitely something to be reckoned with.
