Best Body Punchers?

Zopilote · 01-11-2010, 02:20 AM

Im sure there have been many threads regarding this subject, so i apologize if this has been done many times before, but since im new to these boards, and am a really big fan of boxers who attack the body, who would you say were the very best at doing just that?

Mike McCallum, hence his nickname: "The Body Snatcher"
Micky Ward, Duran, Chavez, Mosley

Carlos Palomino had some mean body shots.

For the heavyweights, I've got to go with Joe Frazier. Murderous.

How about Vicente Saldivar? I hear he was great with the body attack, but honestly ive never seen any footage of his fights.

Thanks for the responses by the way.

I remember them having this sick smacking sound in that fight and he also broke down Mando Muniz with those shots.

Chavez no one swithched to the head and body like him. In fact there has been alot of great body puncher but Chavez is hands down #1 of all time !!

I also like Mosleys body punching. Ward could end a fight with one body shot!

Eder Jofre had a brutal body attack. It could really wear a guy down.
