    One-punch knockouts are a rarely in boxing, and one-punch KOs with a body punch are even more rare.

    How many can we come up with?

    I’ll start with two:

    Micky Ward vs. Alfonso Sanchez

    Roy Jones Jr vs. Virgil Hill

    I know there are many more but those are the two that come immediately to mind. I’ll let you guys take it over from here.

    can we consider Bam-Estrada or no because both tried to work their bodies?
    Inoue basically most of his career

    Duràn vs Fernandez, while there's a massive,hard low blow done by Duràn that was counted a down,I think it's from how much Duràn exhausted the dancing Vilomar.

    Just last night I watched Ricky Hatton's comeback bout with Senchenko. And let me tell ya, Senchenko leveled him in the 9th with a left hook to the liver that sprawled Ricky for minutes.

    Orlando Canizales vs Fernando Ramos. The body blow itself sounds like a gun shot.

    I was going to mention this one myself the sound of it is so loud and clear it makes me wince.

    I guess I'll mention another one that hasn't been mentioned yet Gerry Cooney vs Ron Lyle he actually broke Lyle's ribs I believe aswell.

    Arutro Gatti vs Leonard Dorin was a pretty good one aswell.

    Lucian Bute was a pretty good body puncher that no one really talks about he also had a good body shot KO vs Librado Andrade who was known to be pretty durable at the time.

    You beat me too it by four minutes. I was going to say Gatti against Dorin which I think is Gatti's best win. I had money on Dorin in that fight and couldn't have been more wrong.

    Also, I agree about Lucian Bute being a very good body puncher. Bute was very underated as a fighter overall.

    Corrie Sanders had a few body punch kos. Maybe not 1 puncher KOs though. Golovkin has 2 that I can recall.

    Arguello finished Andy Ganigan with a brutal body shot.
