    Chavez. Arguello was murderous to the body as well. Check him doubling Royal Kobayashi over with the left hook. 2nd knockdown at 6:42:

    He also hit Boza-Edwards so hard to the body that Cornelius literally shat himself. Downright scary :lol:.

    A lot of great names are being mentioned in this thread, but where the hell is Wlad? You don't dominate a great division of almost a decade, beat multiple HOF-level heavyweights, and stamp yourself as the best H2H heavyweight ever without being the single most fearsome body-puncher in the sport.

    You don't even know what your talking about dude. Khaosai was one of the best body punchers in the world. I guessed you've never watched him in the ring before.

    nah...Didn´t say he wasn´t good at it......his straight left to the body was great...
    But there is a difference between be really good at it..and be comparable among the best body punchers in the history like JCC, Jofre, McCallum, Petrolle, etc....

    Like Muhamed Ali, the Klitschko brothers don't focus on body work at all.
