    Inspired by @Dynamicpuncher when he brought up Joe Frazier's KO over Doug Jones. The left hook has produced some of the vicious knockouts in boxing history. Which fight would you say produced the most stunning one punch KO that was the result of a picture perfect left hook?

    Sugar Ray Robinson's KO over Gene Fullmer is as clean of a left hook as you'll see.

    Well you cheated as you picked the best one.

    But I would say McCallum KO5 Curry.
    [url]McCallum KNOCKS OUT Donald Curry (BIG LEFT HOOK) #boxingshorts #shorts #bodysnatcher #lefthook[/url]

    Also Gatti KO Ruelas.

    It wasn't a knockout although the fight should've been stopped after the left hook landed IMO and the fight was stopped shortly after anyway.

    But I've always thought Curry's first knockdown of McCrory was the most picture perfect left hook I've ever seen.

    Donaire had a such a masterful counter left hook. You threw against that guy at your own risk. Like trying to grab a piece of cheese from a mouse trap.

    FFS! What was Mike Quarry's corner/the ref waiting for? Did they honestly think ten seconds would be plenty?

    While I'm here, Patterson v Ingo 2, Castro v John David Jackson, Hatton v Collazo (I think - body shot)

    McCrory got up but he was done. Curry just had to underline it...
