    James Toney knocked Jason Robinson out with as perfect of a left hook as I have ever seen.

    I think you could make a good debate for Cooper's left hook being as hard, if not harder than Frazier's left hook. Frazier was more accurate, tireless and thoughtful with his weapon but to me it's not a foregone conclusion that he hit harder than Cooper.

    That's understating it to the extreme. That short Curry hook was explosive and packed with power. It also caught him perfectly. One of the great singular left hooks.

    It was a different kind of hook. Almost like he was grabbing something but he punched. Ironically, it was very similar to the left hook which Mike landed on Donald a year and a half later which to me was unique also and rather similar-I almost saw it as Donald getting back on him what he gave Milton. Mike was similar but he came off the ground. Going back to Donald, I remember when Milton got up from that punch Donald put a right hand on him which was with all his leverage. My Grandfather was 88 years old then and he saw that punch that night and said something like "oh boy he got the best of him".

    The left hook Sugar Ray Leonard uncorked on Davey Boy Green was devastating, and Sugar Ray's setup was a work of art.

    Poor Davey Boy ate another nasty left hook from Palomino as well.
