    I don't know the answer to that, but I do know Joe Calzaghe has good right hook.

    Joe Calzaghe has one of the meanest right hooks I've ever seen from a southpaw. If his hands weren't so screwed up he'd be knocking everyone out.

      I never know anything about all time, but... it's clearly Juan Manuel Lopez right now...

      He might even be all time... it's hard to think of any fighter who has had 3 successive first round KOs because of his right hook, all in championship fights.

        Manny's got to be up there when it comes to having a great right hook. He floored the anvil chinned Erik with that sweet shot.

          Wow, it seems like alot of southpaws have great right hooks atleast the ones at champion level like Pacquiao, Marquez, and Calzaghe.

            When did that happen? I just watched both II and III within the last two weeks, and they were all left hands that put Morales down.

              What kind of punch is manny throwing in my pic it looks like a mix between a right hook and right uppercut in my opinon. It's like a right uppcut in an angle of a right hook. That is a weird ass looking punch, but it lands pretty hard

                Then clearly you need to watch Pac-Erik III again my man, cause he's dropped by a counter right.

                    I just watched that one last night... less than 24 hours ago. You are talking about when Morales chased Pacquiao to the ropes, and it looked like he was about to land something big, and then got iced by a counter, right? It was the first knockdown of the rubber, right?

                    HBO called it wrong, and corrected themselves in the replay in between rounds. They thought it was the right hook, but it was only grazing, there was an extremely solid left that followed it that put Morales down. It was actually a bit grazing too, but Morales momentum coming forward and the force that Pacquiao put on it still put Morales down without it landing flush.

                    It really was the left, although he did land a crushing right hook in the first round I thought... I was actually pretty impressed by that punch, because you normally don't see it from Pacquiao... at least back then. It was always the left.
