Best Answer

In boxing (and most Martial Arts), a jab is performed by sticking out the leading fist with the muscles of the arm and shoulder. A hook, by contrast, uses all of these muscles, plus many more in the core and even the legs to twist the body and drive the punch to its target. Thus, because the hook uses more muscles, it tends to be more powerful.
