    Povetkin's left hook is a thing of beauty. And it was sublime when he used to double and triple up on it. He's long been one of the best combination punchers in the entire sport too.

    Canelo has one of the best hooks, and definitely the best hook to the body.

    Canelo, Povetkin.

    Whyte isn’t a bad pick.

    Canelo's left hook to the body turns elite KO punchers and body punchers into timid baby lambs.

    Inoue's KOs and KDs elite level fighters, at a weight where power is significantly decreased... Inoue's>>Canelo's.
    It's also quicker, tighter, harder P4P and better at more ranges.

    Donaire still has a hell of a left hook.. and it's so accurate too.

    I’d say Donaire even at this stage in his career. (Whatever that means... he just gave the number one guy and a top pound for pound guy all he can handle..)

    I am pretty sure that Whyte's left hook is best when he is catching and shooting. Probably couldnt time Wach that well. And it's a bit harder to land a crisp left hook on a taller opponent.

    Whyte's left hook aint all that tbh. It's a killer when he counters with it, but otherwise I dont recall him being that effective with it. Will have to look back on a few fights.

    To the body, Canelo or Inoue.

    Up top, Donaire's is still pretty sick. Pov and Whyte both have good ones in the HW division. Gassiev's is pretty destructive too

    Coma inducing damage? Funny, I thought I saw Fury get up and win the rest of the round?
