Want to learn to be a good hooker? Watch the best - Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, or Bill Wallace (pictured above). Also, read the story of Max Schmeling versus Joe Louis, and how the underdog Schmeling KO'd the champion in thieir first fight because of how Louis threw the hook. Hint, guard hand position!
By the way, this is one of the most famous boxing fighters in history. Schmeling was a fighter for Germany, and was used by Adolph Hitler to promote his Aryan "master race" propaganda. Louis came back to beat Schmeling badly, knocking him out in short order. Schmeling and Louis went on to become great friends, with Schmeling even paying some expenses for Louis's funeral, if memory serves me. Schmeling was not a great fighter, but he was a great man. Joe Louis, on the other hand, for my money, was the greatest heavyweight champion in history.
