    in history and currently who has that killer right hook...whether it be to the body or to the head..who had the hook which was spectacular..the obvious choice of all timechoice would be george foreman..i mean that was his pet punch..who else had that great right hook?

    Michael Moorer probably gets my #1 vote.

    Hagler had a damn good one too.

    Believe it or not, I always thought Frank Liles had a helluva good right hook as well.

    Mark Johnson's right hook to the body was very horrible.

    Watanabe when he bothered to use it and Rolando Navarette.

    Right hook is for southpaws.
    Orthodox fighters throw straight rights.

    Tyson. Juan Urango recently scored a scary knock out with a right hook.

    within reason it is a great punch it can catch an othrodox fighter by surprise as it is an uncommen punch. there is a guy in my gym who isnt the best boxers but he has a good right hook that catches alot of people off guard as it is quite unexpected.

    Every punch has its place, your not going to lead with a right orthodox hook, but throwing it in combination off other shots or counter with it can be deadly

    The answer to the OPs question is Mike Tyson
