    Who was it and why? It's a weird punch to throw if you're not a lefty...

    Moorer had great right hook, his money punch. But the best ever...Here are more knowlegable writers who will name you a few more names.

    Foreman and Tyson orthodox. Maybe Hagler from a southpaw stance.

    I had to think about it for a few minutes but your right on both of them. Another was Ruben Olivares who winged them to the head from a crouch.

    Not many fighters have the punch nick-named so Rocky Marciano and his
    "Suzi Q " must be up there.

    Marciano was one of the best I've seen.
