    Good shout out from both men. What i like about Fitz is he also punched to the heart area and scored many KO's with that shot. He also did the same with shots to the side of opponents necks according to books I've read about him. Brutal!

    Bob's body shots success against his peers make him a fair shout for #1, absolutely.

    That was a good video. Boxing afficionados should appreciate that.

    But Teddy Atlas takes a lot of flack because he's man enough to say Tyson was overrated and a spoiled prat. Which is exactly what he was.

    Oooh.. that was a nasty right hand from Zale to Graziano, delivered with much love.

    Good comment about Jake LaMotta too.

    Love ya, Teddy. One minor quibble.. Foreman said Holyfield threw the hardest body punches he ever "tasted".

    Holyfield, for all his brawling, didn't neglect any punches. He threw them all, well.
