Is it worth it? The overhand long range front hook?

[OMGWTF]

Im a southpaw facing an orthodox fighter, so its mirrored stances.

Lets say I was standing directly infront of him no one is to to the left or right of each other we are both dead ahead of one another.

What if I threw a long range front hook (my front hook is my right hand since im southpaw) with a slip as my first punch to exploit that little opening?

I would have to flank outside his glove a bit first so I could disguise it as a poorly aimed jab.

Its not as fast as a jab but its faster than a lead cross so it isnt high risk to lead with it.

Im in a safe position after slipping (if he were to throw the straight right or jab)

Its not as powerful as a cross but its more powerful than a jab so maybe it could get a KO if it lands on teh jaw or maybe thats wishful thinking? (I can get more power than usual on a long range hook but its still no where near as powerful as a normal hook or cross, do you think if I really loaded up on this long range front hook straight from my 3/4 stance it would be a KO punch?)

It also gets through a gap.

It sets my cross up nicely.

Weight tarnsfer is hard to get right on this punch as you step in with it but not impossible.

Is this worth working on? Or is it just easier and superior to lead with a jab, cross or x2 jab?
