    Does any fighter throw a hook more correctly than Canelo at 160?

    I don't know about more correctly, but GGGs is definitely more powerful, a 4/5 years ago it was most definitely quicker as well

    Both fights prove Canelo is the better hooker of the two, he was killing ggg especially to the body, and Canelo is more accurate with his...

    GGGs hook to the body would make Canelo look like an asthmatic smoker, shame he didn't throw it at all

    G didn't throw it because he didn't wanna eat a counter.

    NO GGG does!!! Canelo is the best body and counter puncher at 160 though!

    That all said, Canelo really does have a great hook.

    He didn't throw it because he'd get countered and knows better to not hook with a hooker

    He knew his hook was inferior.

    Can't believe some of these guys call themselves hardcore and can't even realize what they are watching.

    No, GGG might have a better overhand right, maybe, but not a better hook.

    Canelo didn`t land that many hooks in their first clash, but did catch GGG at times moving back in a straight line in their second clash, and as GGG moved back he didn`t throw many counter hooks, Canelo landed more hooks in their second bout tghan the first.

    That`s not what I meant, if you watched the vid Jones states there is no way to throw the hook better than Canelo through it, he disguised the punch better than Lem can though with less power.
