    who are the best body punchers among tall fighters for their weight class? Arguello was tall (5'11) for a 130-135 lb guy and was a hell of a body puncher. Who else comes to mind?

    I've got to mention Big George Foreman as well. Even though his 6'3 frame isn't tall by today's standards. Still, he was a tall heavy for his era and he could work the body.

    Yep, he had an underrated left hook to the body. KO'd somebody w/ it too (I forget who though).

    Damn right!! Good call

    And also Caballero vs Yordan is one of the worst beatings to the body. Caballero was tall ultimately not the hype people thought but this fight was pure brutal body work all throughout from a giant featherweight.

    Great thread btw

    Funnily enough, the first guy to come to my mind was Gerry Cooney.
