    8 out of the 10 best hooks were thrown by heavies? Can we just rename this the Heavyweight Classic Forum because that is what it is and the depth of the content. A bunch of tired-@ss recitations of half truths regarding the worst division in the sport.

    True ^^ but I'm going to mention
    Hopkins KO liver shot on De la Hoya
    Chavez/Taylor 2

    Both definitely not able to crack a top 20 list ..but worth a look

    Any hook Sugar Ray Robinson threw. The one on Fullmer in `57 is the most famous but that is probably the greatest weapon in the history of the ring. He iced guys like that his entire career. SRR could put 3s and 4s together like nothing.

    It's a pretty good list, though very heavyweight heavy. The video maker should have just stuck to that line.

    Go on You Tube Eduardo Lausse vs Chico Verona. Late 7th round left hook KO. Lausse left hook was so hard, Verona looks like he breaks his leg landing. Lausse was one of the all time powerful left hookers. Middleweifghts.

    Arguello~Escalera 2. Along with Duran~Lampkin the shortest most powerful left hook KO I've seen

    How about Trinidad's against Vargas.
    It may not have knocked him down, but it felt like Vargas' career path took a different turn after taking that shot.
