I like Dempsey's. It was his signature punch and he closed the show early with it.

No real argument with anyone on the other choices though...

The problem is Frazier couldn't land on Foreman... and Dempsey couldn't land on Tunney.

I liked Joe Louis's triple left hook that he dropped Max Baer with... I don't think there was anybody he couldn't get his hook on... Wladimir showed good left hooks versus Eddie Chambers, Ray Austin, and Kubrat Pulev... It was a nifty weapon for him from ages 31 until about 38, before that he didn't cut it as well.
