    Tito Trinidad "Boom and your ass is on the canvas" ask Vargas, and Joppy, and David Reid.

    20 years ago was 1988, so I'd like to throw in Iron Mike Tyson. He had a nice fast and tight hook.

    At heavyweight it has to be Tyson.

    At anyother weight Cuevas, Chavez? of recent memory DLH, Tito?

    Tua's was the most wrecking, perhaps because he was a heavyweight.... Roy Jones had the most originality, not textbook like Tito or Oscar, but the way he could leap from halfway across the ring and land it against even some of the best was a thing of beauty.

    Roy has the SRR left-hook. You can't beat that.

    This would be speaking of 1988 so I would say Mike Tyson's was also a great punch.

    Vargas had great left hooks to the body when he was in his prime
    Roman Gonzalez- He's up-and-coming, but his lefts to the body and head are outstanding; as is his entire arsenal.

    It's out of Tyson, Jones, Oscar and Trinidad. Chavez if you include to the body.
