    Always all the talk about the left hook, the right hook also deserves some attention.

    Maybe not the best, but Andy Lee can throw a beautiful right hook. Juanma's good, too.

    Prince Naseem also seemed to have a wonderful RIGHT hook.

    The hook that Price dispatched Harrison with was hideous, a real "jesus christ did you see that? hope he's ok" type moment.

    Are we talking an orthodox overhand right, or a southpaw right hook?

    This.

    Sergio Martinez has developed an excellent right hook in recent years, as has Manny Pacquiao. Their respective fights against Kelly Pavlik and Ricky Hatton are probably the best examples of their right hooks.

    Lara has the best right hook, the way he turns his opponents after using it is amazing, requires good footwork too.

    yeah i like how martinez's has adapted that hook into a sort of right cross from a southpaw stance when he gets over your left shoulder.

    Then I'd have to agree that Andy Lee's got the prettiest southpaw right hook in the business today.

    That was Hagler's best punch other than the jab.
