The Body Shots EVERYONE FEARED Explained

This is the guy who called Larry Holmes a fusion of Ali and Foreman. Lol.

 

No , McCallum wasn't the absolute best body puncher of the era.
Though he is definitely in the top ten.
Their was so many skilled body punchers
During those years.....
Duran, Arguello, Sanchez, Pedroza, Leonard, Gomez, Fenech, Hearns, Cuevas, Mosely, Trinidad, Tyson, Holyfield etc.
I know McCallum's nickname was the " Body Snatcher" but their were many body punchers just as skilled during those years....... Just as skilled but hit harder.

 

Agree wholeheartedly, and of your very finute list, would have Pedroza very high, effortless body punching, no big wind up, no wide swings, just subtle, innocuous short smart deliverance, such a pity him and Sanchez didn't square off , and if they did, wouldn't surprise if Pedroza came away with a close MD. stay safe Flash.

 

You want to see a body punching clinic? brutal.

McCallum’s body punches were very precise.

Here he puts on a clinic against an overmatched but game Randall Yonker. Breaks him down, puts him down with a body shot and then finishes him.

How so? The video was pointing out that Larry uses framing, pushing, and guard manipulation like Foreman -- and he does, extensively in some fights. It didn't say that he hits like Foreman, or throws punches that look like Foreman's -- he doesn't. It said which specific techniques he uses that are like those Foreman used.

 

Mike Tyson was a better body puncher than Mike McCallum

 

I don't know if Mike Tyson is a better body puncher (I'm not that good at boxing), but he was a terrible body puncher in this fight:

Mike's a bit overrated

A better body puncher IMO would be Roy Jones
