    I'm suprised that at glancing at peoples lists, Evander Holyfield is only mentioned in one of them.

    No mention of Cotto for active fighters?

    Equally effective to the head or body - Powerful, fast, sharp and technically brilliant. Not to mention impeccably timed. Better than Oscars in my opinion.

    All-time, Dempsey, Robinson, Frazier, and Tyson come to mind.

    If we're naming fighters after their best attributes, then surely Lacy has been renamed to Jeff "Take a big ****en beating" Lacy after the Calzaghe fight.

    We could literally go on all day about all time hooks first name that came to mind when I read the thread title was pipino cuevas but a lot of the other guys mentioned are excellent choices also.

    Out of active guys I'd go with DLH, Juarez (when he can land it), Wlad (when he does that sneaky little turing the jab into a hook thing), And Cotto and Hatton to the body.

    Micky Ward built an entire career on a left hook.
