    Seriously, Nonito Donaire's left hook is absolute perfection. I could watch his KOs of Montiel, Darchinyan, and Arce all day long. That left hook was electric.

    No, there is a guy who is number 1 of all time in each division for every attribute, and this one belongs to Donaire.

    Probably the best at 112, but he isn't really a 112lber.

    But I'd take Olivares at 118.

    You don't often wince with the lighter guys. I did with Donaire. His hook carried serious weight.
