    What do you mean by that? marciano had a way of making his right hand over the top look like a right hand to the body. Archie Moore hid his right hand behind his left shoulder.
    Also, what are you calling a right hook?
    Short story long; I find it awkward to hit the heavy bag with a right hook and it occurred to me that it is a relatively crude punch, seemingly very eat to telegraph, in relation to the rest of the basic arsenal. I was left trying to think of fighters that were renowned for their right hook, or who had shown and aptitude to use it specifically.

    The only one I could think of was Floyd against Cotto, where he used it with tactical intent, to great effect.

    I think Roy Jones used to exploit every ounce of his athleticism to land audacious looking right hands but I'm not immediately aware of any tactical finesse from him.

    I guess the point I'm trying to make is, I'm struggling to find relevance for the punch (a completely horizontal looping shot). Someone said Hopkins, so I'll check him out and also Grey, thank you for recommending Moore and The Rock.
