    I'm trying to think of examples where elite fighters in their prime have been stopped to the body.

    I'm struggling to think of many that fit the elite and prime bracket but I wanted to throw it out to you guys.

    I think to frame it better, lets keep it to the 2000 onwards.

    Fits the elite part but passed his prime.

    Same could be said for Castillo

    And Macklin, altho I would never call MM elite but if we're comparing to Garcia then Macklin is as viable, so is Beefy.

    You can’t compare the shot Macklin took from prime GGG to the one that Tank landed yesterday

    I think it was a quit from Garcia personally. He probably was a little weak in there with all the conditions team Tank put in. Gives him a valid excuse too.

    Pacman was stopped by a body shot and after that he used the Thai stick training method to help him build up resistance to them. Freddie Roach used to disagree with it and apparently either walk out or look away when they did it.

    Glenn McCrory against Jeff Lampkin.
    Not a real elite but world champ anyhow.

    I don't think anybody can argue that was a prime Groves

    Dave Allen stopped Lucas Browne with a brutal left hook to the body.
