Cotto is another one - when he's under fire on the inside he has this nice little sort of overhand left hook that he sets up.
I would say Zab Judah but I think that one isn't quite subtle enough.

Nah he landed it in their second fight. Just didn't knock him out, wobbled him.
I think both were beautifully timed shots..you see how close Pacquiao's shot was to Marquez's face when he slipped and shot over that right hand to knock Pacquiao out. Beautiful. Pac's elbow was literally scraping JMM's face.
I love seeing the slow mo replays of Floyd rounds when you just think he's getting pummelled against the ropes only to see that in between he has snuck a right hand in there or an uppercut. vs Cotto was one example and Oscar De La Hoya I think round 5 it was when Floyd wobbled him. I had no idea what had happened or why the hell Oscar was wobbling briefly until the slow mo's. Such impeccable timing.
Also the pull back to avoid opponents jab, immediate counter right hand and then the immediate duck under his opponents offence is impressive from Floyd too. He did it vs JMM.
The right hand generates most power for most of us right handed people but it is difficult to land and time right. Hearns was one of the best with it.
This is why the left hook gets the most knock outs as the opponent does not see it and it travels less distance generally like Tyson or Chavez to the body.
Uppercuts are even more harder to get them to land like Bute does.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
The shoulder roll followed by a counter right is my favorite manuever, specifically how Toney used to do it on people.
I know its not really a set "maneuver" or "move" but watching Chris Byrd making people miss him up close in the pocket was always amazing
He would contort his body and duck and dodge punches like it was nothing ... making giant, powerful heavyweights miss
I'm a big fan of the left hook to the liver. I believe Hatton has knocked out and been knocked out by this punch.
I love Floyd Patterson's flying left hooks and his left hooks in general. Like the one he landed on Archie Moore.
At about 6:17 is where you see that peek-a-boo left hook. Brutal!
