    Roy Jones had a nice lead hook.

    Primo Carnera could muster up some torque in his lead hooks.

    Jones Jnr for mine. Very powerful and accurate.

    He also threw it faster than most fighters could throw a jab.

    Joe Frazier had a naturally crooked left arm due to a farming accident as a kid. He just "c**ked it, then
    fired away. Foreman said he always watched for Joe's left shoulder to "dip slightly", then Foreman raised his massive right arm....to block Joe's incoming left hook.

    Roy Jones Jr. was literally the first person to come to mind when I saw this thread.

    Mayweather landed more lead hooks than Jones did during their respective careers or at least missed less.
