Yep, if I remember correctly he stopped Aoki with two body shots too... Probably my favorite body shot is this one. 4:11 !! :scaredas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[yt]bmDTyBdFvCQ[/yt]
This is not a top 10 list, just 10 fighters that were great bodypunchers. Micky Ward Rocky Marciano Joe Frazier Julio Cesar Chavez Roberto Duran Mike McCallum Jose Luis Castillo Ricky Hatton Carmen Basilio Gerry Cooney
I'd omit Arguello (a bit too sporadic for my liking), Pedroza (too much of a slapper) and McCallum (nice nickname but let's be honest he doesn't really live up to it). Not sure of who would make the cut, but guys I'd consider before those three: Saldivar Olivares Yuh Chang Rodriguez Some purportedly good body punchers without enough footage to accurately say: Jack Angott Kid Berg
Jesus FINALLY! :happy The guy went to the body all the time and was amazing at it, constantly wearing down the body every fight
I'd say he's the best amongst the 'boxer' types. On the aggressive swarmer front, I'd say Jeff Fenech deserves a shout too. Not the most elegant, but definitely an effective body puncher.
Another that doesn't necessarily belong on the list, but is very underrated in this regard.........Eddie Mustafa Muhammad. I still wince thinking about the battering to the body he gave Marvin Johnson.
