    Default Best southpaw and orthadox right hook in history? (I mean it exactly that way)

    So thats the lead front right hook for southpaws that gets partial hip rotation

    And the rear right hook for orthadox fighters. (That right... the rarely thrown rear right hook that gets full hip rotation)


    Just thought Id ask because this rarely gets asked and id like to know your opinion.


    Holyfield has a mean right hook up close but its not especially powerful, george forman has a very powerful right hook.


    Manny Pacman has a good lead hook as does hagler cant think of any heavyweight southpaw puncher style lead hookers lol

    The orthodox guy that come to mind with the best right hook is Julian Jackson. Ask Terry Norris, Herol Graham, Wayne Powell, ect how good his right hook was.

    Julian's right hook was one of the best punches in boxing history for my money. He delivered it with unmatched power and speed, and he could throw it effectively from almost any angle.

    Southpaw right hook is trickier... Pac is an obvious choice for the speed, power and effectiveness of his right.

    Michael Moorer deserves mention too, I think he was naturally right handed so he had an absolute wrecking ball of a right hook.

    I know Hagler had dynamite in his right hook but I can't remember him throwing a whole lot of them off the top of my head.

    I guess Sergio Martinez belongs in the discussion too.

    Winky Wright had a great right hook to the body.

    Julian's right hook in all it's destructive glory... if someone had a more dangerous right hook p4p than Jackson, I've never seen it.

    Not sure what you are talking about?

    The power hand which is the right hand for a right hand fighter? Holyfield had a better left hook than right hand.

    Julian Jackson could hit with either hand but the right hook was deadly.

    Was Naz right hook any good? Remember Kevin Kelly catching Naz with his right hook from a southpaw stance.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
