    Harada had some good ones,he was an unknown when he fought Kingpetch,but he sure had to make em all remember how he chewed up the Thai champ via those body and head jabs.

    It's probably someone like Fitz.

    PBF threw a wonderful jab to the body when he was ready.

    Andre Ward had an excellent jab to the body. 'Gimme that air.'

    If you get your opponent to square up it’s a really effective punch to the solar plexus.

    Mike Donovan, who is credited with teaching Fitz the shift as well as in developing the skills of Corbett and Sullivan, had an excellent body jab. (white haired fellow)
