    I'm too lazy right now so I've got three...

    1. Nonito Donaire
    2. Danny Garcia
    3. Gary Russel Jr
    4.
    5.

    A reasonable shout out would be JuanMa Lopez back when he was still relevant.

    Can we make list of top 5 or top 10? What do you guys got!

    :deal

    Again whos got the best lead hook, so left hook for orthodox fighter, right hook for southpaw fighter.

    Wladimir is up there

    Floyd for speed reasons

    Cotto would be, but on the decline

    Yeah for sure, if we went back a half generation back, we could fill the list up easily. Floyd/Cotto without a doubt had beautifully sexy left hooks. Cotto at 140 had a left hook that was a thing of absolute beauty. He kind of lost his snappy/whip/speed to it as he moved up in weight and got older.

    Chad Dawson had a really nice lead right hook to be honest. It wasn't powerful, but he could throw it quite effortlessly and used it well to help him somewhat control his opponents. Anyone remember Chad Dawson when he was under 10 pro fights? He would close distance quick, jump into range with lead right hooks, etc. I wish boxers could stay young and youthful forever!

    1. Berto - Devastating speed and power, so fast you dont even see it
    2. Wilder - Swings the left hook from the last round if it lands its lights out
    3. Donaire - His left hook is legit
    4. Garcia - Puts his bodyweight into it
    5. Matthysse - Throws brutal hooks to head and body
