    Cooper was only 190lbs but had the hand speed of a cruiser because of this his hook came with a lot of speed which caught Ali by surprise, like Tyson used to say it`s the ones you don`t expect that do the damage.

    Enery's Ammer landed with just a few seconds to go. Yes Ali got up but had no idea where he was. Angelo got him to the corner & there performed a great corner saving a fighter job. There was a slight tear in the seam of Ali's glove Angelo put his finger in it made it warse & called the ref. There was no replacement glove so after discussions the fight went on. After a dose of smelling salts Ali's senses were back & he came out firing & cut Henrys face to ribbons.
    Had the Hammer landed a few seconds earlier history would have been changed Ali would have been stopped
    Great corner work saved the day. Ali was quoted as saying
    "Cooper hit me so hard my ancestors in Africa fell over "

    It goes back to the first fight between Ali and Frazier. The left hook that Joe landed was a thing of pure beauty, unmatched in the annals of sports history. The only thing more beautiful is the fact that Ali got up.

    Trinidad’s left hook against Vargas, 1st round. The sound it made. Ouch.

    Wlad putting Chambers down and out with a single hook as he was moving forward

    That was devastatingly effective

    Morrison/Ruddock immediately came to mind for me as well.... For all of the reasons you said. Perfect technique, Morrison was reeling... High drama and textbook technique.

    Ding's left hook when fully wound up was a truly devastating punch when it did actually land.
