    Which ones are your favourite left hooks landed by fighters who weren't heavyweights?

    I love the James Toney vs Michael Nunn that Toney landed. It knocked Nunn down and practically ended the fight.

    I also love the one Bob Foster landed on Dick Tiger. Perfect.

    Donald Curry's left hook knockdown of Milton McCrory was pure perfection.

    The reverse hook to the liver that Mickey Ward hit Arturo Gatti with and nearly cut him in half. I double over just thinking about it.

    Curry was also on the receiving end of another beauty after McCallum rode the cobra's strike and came back with a hook of his own.

    Felix Trinidad had a brilliant left hook and was always fun to watch.
