I don't know that many Southpaws with great right hooks either.
Two great southpaw left hooks in recent memory are Martinez' ko of Williams & Pacquiao's ko of Hatton.

Dude had the most vicious right hook I've ever seen from an orthodox fighter. Hagler is another one that comes to mind when he would switch to orthodox, but I guess he doesn't really count b/c 12 out of the 15 rds were anchored down by a southpaw stance.

Its not really a good punch to throw unless your on the inside. If your orthodox and throw a right hook your pretty much squaring off and leaving yourself open to be countered.

Floyd, when he rolls that right cross from his opponents and then return with a smashing counter right hook, it does kick ass. There's a lot of fighters though throughout the history, but right now floyd comes first in my mind.

Good catch my dude, I stand corrected. The ole long-term memory aint what it use to be but just thinking back to that era of the late 80's and 90's of Boxing still puts a smile on my face lol.
