    I hate to defend uncletermite but I think a guy like Chavez and other great infighters often worked the body without leaving head exposed much at all.

    For example, if you've thrown a left to the body but you're close and positioned so your opponent's own body obstructs him from getting his right to your left jaw.
    He might have to punch through his own head to get to your head .... and that's impossible, or silly.

    It's called good clever infighting.
    And, no, I don't expect to see it done by amateurs sparring in the gym.

    I'm not a fan of jack dempsey but he's the heavyweight that springs to mind.

    Its possible to do but not at all easy and I think few fighters are truly good at it. Mike McCallum is probably an even better example than chavez as he was a master at going downstairs.

    Mccallum was a master at a lot of things but body punching was what he's most known for.

    Show some fukin' consideration !

    Uncle termie clearly has a learning disability and suffers from mild ret ardation.

    You're destroying whatever little bit of self-esteem the boy may have had. :oops:

    Dempsey looked brutal in some fights .. Marciano of course but the standard bearer is Joe Frazier .. as sleeper choice is Rid**** Bowe had an excellent body attack for a big man ..

    You called it Sangria LOL, at least he admits he fought HIMSELF and has "been around" combat sports. Did he beat the sense out of himself?

    I think we are all dying to hear your credentials, everything you say is like something out of a book and doesn't sound like someone who has been there and done that.

    yes so true, not only does it leave you vulnerable but its tiring chucking heavy body shots each round not knowing for sure how effective they are.

    which heavy had the best body attack?

    Well Tommy had one of the prettiest as well as one of the best.
    Nothing more impressive than taking a guy out with 1 body shot like I remember Tommy doing.

    Tyson, on the other hand mixed body shots in at a much higher level then Tommy, so overall I would take Tyson but for best highlights I would probably take Tommy.

    Probably a few others but those two were pretty vicious.

    he wont share his credentials because he has fabricated the degree of his credentials. If he shared his credentials he couldn't keep fabricating/playing with the degree of them.

    The guy is defensive aggressive when asked about it always refusing by switching the point of the question.

    if he had been there and done that he would no doubt LOVE to tell us all about it in detail as he cants stop posting about Boxing. As he hasn't he cant and has kept on fabricating since he got here to make sure to save face. His face, lol :!:
