    Roy Jones started at middle and eventually moved up to light heavy and at that weight he stopped a natural light heavy in the form of Virgil Hill with a body shot in the fourth round of that bout.

    Damn, good question OP...

    I guess Ward vs. Kovalev technically counts (if we allow "shots to the balls")

    Usually when you fight a bigger man....you gotta go for the kill and land a bomb on that chin. Body shots won't get the average fighter too far. can't think of any others.

    They were pretty much the same size.. Not exactly that much bigger. Almost a fluke punch.

    Ruben Olivares, moving up from bantam, bodied the iron chinned Jose Luis Ramirez with a body shot even though Ramirez stood up to the best shots of both Julio Cesar Chavez and Edwin Rosario.

    Former MW Jose Torres stopped Willie Pastrano with a body shot and Pastrano had basically been a
    LtHvy / small heavy his entire career.

    Parker vs Dimitrenko. It was messy, but still.

    Let's just say that what Lomachenko did by stopping the much bigger Linares was incredible!!!!!!!
