Who do you consider to have the best left hook in boxing history?

Floyd Patterson deserves mention. Loved Smokin' Joe's hook best of all. Robinson had the best one time left hook on Fullmer and Walcott had a couple of pretty good hooks in his day.

I believe, as maybe predictable, that none other than Sugar Ray Robinson had the closest thing to a perfect left hook I've ever seen.
Over the past year, Lemieux showed a pretty little left hook knockout-punch vs O' Sullivan, as Whyte did vs both Chisora and Browne, Charlo vs Centeno Jr., and Usyk vs Bellew.

Among current active boxers, Dogboe has an excellent left hook.
Gervonta and Ryan Garcia can do everything right when it comes to punching, of course, they got the whole punching package...
...and what about this? Some might have missed it; daddy taught well, enjoy:

Nino Benvenuti threw one of the best left hooks I've ever seen (not so many, to tell the truth), in the fight against the international hall of famer Luis Manuel Rodriguez.
Nevertheless, a rarely beautiful left hook, at 3:34

I haven't watched it whole.
I remember stumbling upon a photograph of a Benvenuti picture-perfect left hook, which was, as said by some, his best weapon.
This was the photograph:

It's now the cover of my smartphone's desktop: Benvenuti (Italian for "Welcome")'s left hook.
Welcome, y'all!

joe louis. quick and knock out power. could throw three in row as part of his astonishing combinations, could land two while opponent was going down.. them from classic stand-up stance,,,,didn't bend over and practically scrape the canvas with his left the those wide round half circles who are named as the greatest.
