mitt work and shadow boxing.Also,look at a boxer that throws a good left hook,and see how he does it.Then turn it into your style.Also working your hips side to side can help also.

you know, chop wood like chop with a ****ing axe.

find a nice tree not too big, chop it down (not on neighbors property...) very good for power hooks. very, very good exercise for punch training.

then once the tree is on the ground you chop at the log while it's on the ground, hard. wear gloves. that will hone your uppercut power moreso than your hook power but still, it's important to work the log on the ground, for your lead hook. Cuz just chopping at a tree normally is working your power hook.

Was it Marciano that was a logger? Damn, can't remember who now, Dempsey? One of the classic fighters who threw freighttrains out of his fists used to be a logger, I know that much...
