    Roy Jones Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya deserve more than a mention.

    David Tua deserves a mention.

    Tua had a nice hook, Tyson as well.

    Mickey Ward's hook to the body was nice.

    Underrated hooks are Patterson's and Holyfield's.

    Why did I not mention Floyd Patterson!?!? :patsch

    Good call mate, really good call.

    Floyd Patterson had a vicious left hook, throwing em to the body and head, unlike any other big guy.

    Yeah Ward's hook to the body basically gave him a career.

    A prime Patterson would be great in today's CW division. He went down more than any other HW champ (20 times I think)... but he also won 8 HW World Title Fights (all by KO).

    Patterson is often underrated because he was beaten down pretty bad later in his career, but he would be quite a test for anyone in his prime.
