Are there any heavyweight boxers other than Rocky Marciano that had a signature right hook?

    Something I want to know, why the right hook from the orthodox stance is rarely acknowledged by announcers ?
    Instead, they would use terms like « sweeping », « roundhouse » or the generic « right hand ».

    Zhang has an absolute nuclear bomb of a right hook.

    He's after orthodox boxers, or even a lefty with a great left hook.

    His Suzie Q was an overhand right

    And no, none are as historically significant as this

    Gerry Penalosa's lead right hook was a thing of beauty.

    Was it Ruhlin who had named a punch? Some early contender, I forget who, someone else will probably remember but I think it was Ruhlin.

    Only right hooks?

    Holmes liked to use his right hook to go around guards. He liked to keep his left on them while doing it too.
