    Hello Classic.

    I think both Michael Carbajal and Marco Antonio Barrera possessed fantastic left hooks. They'd often doubled it up to body and head, and Carbajal especially, stopped some very good opposition with it (Cuesto, Gonzalez, Santos). I think Barrera was more consistant with his, and hit to the body more effectively, whereas Carbajal had lethal punching power. Some would say his right hand was his best punch, but his left hook wasn't to far behind.

    Who possessed the better left hook?
