While my cross is more effective, and it may be more effective in MMA... its been said time and time again that the left hook is the #1 knockout punch, its short, snaps your head, and can be deliver so quickly, accurately, and with proper hip rotation.
You can also catch guys with it... watch oscar de la hoya fight.. he uses it alot, or joe frazier but I like the de la hoya example more.
One specific one I can think of is de la hoya vs Vargas... in the 11th round I believe.. .although he puts him down with it at least once before he knocks him out with it.
I cant seem to recall alot of hook knockouts in mma.. more the straight cross... ala franklin's GLORIOUS mauling of nate quarry... Lidell throws alot of cross... wide looping crosses as they may be... hmm... I'm not too sure.
