Watch the GREAT Coetzee fight 35 Tyson 36Gatti r i p 38Antuofermo 39 Harlem Tommy Murphy 41 Mike Steward 42ANTONIO MARGARITO an absolute beast. **** that wraps bull****. Cotto still checks under his bed at night to make sure Tony is not under there to get him during the night. 43. Olivares 44. Lausse 45. Rufus
Lucian Bute deaerves mention. I dont know of anyone who has more body punch Knockdowns/Knockouts. Bute's counter left uppercut to the body is one of the best weapons I have ever seen
Yeah I’ve heard people say he was good body puncher, even gone on to call him the body snatcher or gravedigger or something like that but which of his actual fights are there that show him winning a fight or stopping someone with body shots? Ive seen a few of his fights and he seems a very good all round fighter but honestly I can’t say I’ve see any fights where his body punching stands out from any of his other shots.
Didn`t help him v Benn, McCallum would have destroyed Benn with body shots in the same way he destroyed Watson.
LaMotta landed well to Ray`s body in their final bout and Cotto landed well to Floyd`s body when they fought.
I always thought of him as an accumulative body puncher. Like Pedroza who was content to work you and work you, but not stand out like an Olivares or Zarate who would be plying the left hook to the liver. Pedroza took out a lot of fighters after the 10th round when the cumulative effect began to show. I liken McCallum to this style.
