GOAT left hook KO?

Best left KO of all time.

The top 5 that come to mind:

Robinson-Fullmer
Foster-Tiger
Foster-Quarry
Jackson-Drayton
Curry-McCrory: McCrory was technically knocked out by a right hand, but that was window dressing. He was gone after the hook.


Jackson-Drayton is my personal favorite cause of how Julian pointed down to the canvas when it landed.

But objectively speaking, the answer probably comes down to either Robinson-Fullmer or Foster-Tiger.

 

Tua vs Nicholson was pretty nasty

 

Greatest jab to the body Ko: charlo Rosario

For when you get around to that topic

 

Leonard Green was epic

 

Trinidad-Zulu was a sweet left hook KO.

 

Walcott-Charles?

Not the most picturesque punch but winning a title by knocking a guy down 4 times with one shot must warrant tyson-berbick mention

 

Here are two sleepers at bantamweight that I love.

Jose Becerra vs Alphonse Halimi:



KO at approx 42:00

Ruben Olivares vs Efren Torres:



KO at approx 13:00

The Olivares KO was especially awesome.

 

Wayne Alexander vs Takaloo nearly took his head off.

 

How is Patterson-Johansson 2 not on the list

I'm seeing a ghost

 

Ohhh damn! The Patterson leaping hook KO did in fact slip my mind! That indeed has a great argument as the GOAT left hook KO.

 

All set up by left hooks to the body. The final two were to the head and the 2nd last you can see how Zulu had been fast asleep waiting for the body attack and then it came back up top suddenly.

 

The final left-hook KO of Vargas by Trinidad was nice.

 

Nearly down from a bodyshot before that....first time he got his wind back enough to stand back up and boom

 

Rjj-Montel Ii

 

Any hook that gets the imprimatur of Big George is on the list

07:30

 

Montell Griffen is alleged to have told Eddie Mustafa Muhammad once "I could have taken you" whereupon EMM replied "Taken me where? To the bathroom"?

 

Of recent years I think both my faves were by Donaire : vs Darchinyan & Montiel

The way Donaire rolled right hands with that left hook counter was high art

 

Arguello-Escalera. Only Alexis could throw a lead hook that long & elegant

 

Yup! That was a great one.

 

Pettway Brown oucch

 

It's not the best ever, but the relaxed ease with which Foreman blasted out Rodriguez was impressive

 

For pure devastation I'm probably going with Foster-Quarry.

Mike looked dead.

 

Left hooks produce highlight reel KOs more frequently than other punches, probably because the angle, more likely to catch the guy with a shot they don’t see coming. Robinson-Fullmer and Curry-McCrory are definitely 2 of my favorites because they were so short and quick.

Ruddock-Dokes is another one. The first left hook put Dokes on Queer Street, the 2nd left hook knocked him unconscious, and the 3rd one damn near killed him.

 

Some unmentioned which I like are:

Charles vs Reynolds
Charles vs Satterfield
Louis vs Ettore

 

McCallum vs. Curry.

 

The left hook by Charles on Satterfield was a thing of beauty.
