    I immediately think of Roy Jones when I think of left hooks.

    Sugar Ray Leonards left hook doesn't get enough love either - he could rip that out of nowhere.

    Certainly not best in history but wouldn’t fancy taking a left hook to the body off Ricky Hatton in his prime.

    It's so subjective.

    Trinidad
    Donaire
    Wlad
    Holyfield

    All had superb left hooks.

    How many fighters did Barkley KO with his hook, Mike Tyson KO`d far more fighters with his left hook and it was quicker than Barkley`s, if Mike fought at light heavy he would have taken Barkley out with a hook, Nigel Benn`s left hook was as good as Barkley`s.

    He's one of the best left hookers I've ever seen, but sadly.. he's not a gifted puncher. The way Barkley threw his left hook, is beautiful and brutal at the same time. I might make a video covering about his left hook in the future tho. He's left hook sure hasn't get much love

    Donaire always comes to mind when I think of somebody with a lethal left hook.
