    The great, I would take him any day in 1 fight against Leonard, Luis Rodriguez probably felt the left hook that saved Ninos title the rest of his life.

    Thank you for naming Benvenuti's great title saving left vs Rodriguez! I remain impressed with that bolt from the blue. Nino was and still is a very underrated champion.

    My number 1 is Donald Curry against Milt McCrory in the 2nd round. It didn't stop him but the followup right did. But the left hook was picture perfect.

    Honarable mentions: Earnie Shavers left hook to Ron Lyle at the end of the 2nd round, Jack Sharkey's left hook to Primo Carnera in the 4th round of their 1st fight and Joe Frazier's final left hook to Jimmy Ellis in the 4th round of their 1st fight. Things of beauty.

    All time worst voice on a commentator.

    The Curry and Tiger kos were enhanced by their heads bouncing off the canvas. Instant consussion.

    Surprised there were no Julian Jackson kos.

    That's a GREAT mention. It didn't win a fight but omg. If the round hadn't ended straight away there's noway for my money that Lyle survives. Shavers was still fresh and Lyle well beyond hurt.

    I didn't watch the video, but it's an easy answer for me. Bob Foster's KO of Mike Quarry was the most devastating left hook ever thrown.

    How could I forget? Probably the single greatest left hook I ever saw Alexis Arguello 7 inch off the shoulder KO of Escalera in fht 2. Alfredo couldn't stand on his own for 15 minutes
