10 Best Bodypunchers Ever?

Yep, if I remember correctly he stopped Aoki with two body shots too...

Probably my favorite body shot is this one. 4:11 !! :scaredas:

Micky Ward could hit to the body.

 

This is not a top 10 list, just 10 fighters that were great bodypunchers.

Micky Ward
Rocky Marciano
Joe Frazier
Julio Cesar Chavez
Roberto Duran
Mike McCallum
Jose Luis Castillo
Ricky Hatton
Carmen Basilio
Gerry Cooney

 

i cant believe Tony Zale is being so underrated in this thread

 

I'd omit Arguello (a bit too sporadic for my liking), Pedroza (too much of a slapper) and McCallum (nice nickname but let's be honest he doesn't really live up to it).

Not sure of who would make the cut, but guys I'd consider before those three:

Saldivar
Olivares
Yuh
Chang
Rodriguez

Some purportedly good body punchers without enough footage to accurately say:

Jack
Angott
Kid Berg

 

Rodriguez is a great shout, can´t believe nobody mentioned the guy before.....

 

think tony zale deserves a shout

 

Jesus FINALLY! :happy
The guy went to the body all the time and was amazing at it, constantly wearing down the body every fight

 

I'd say he's the best amongst the 'boxer' types.

On the aggressive swarmer front, I'd say Jeff Fenech deserves a shout too. Not the most elegant, but definitely an effective body puncher.

 

Wilfredo Gomez.

 

Marciano
Duran
Hearns
SRL
Holyfield
Barerra
Tyson
Lewis
SRR

 

I know I might get some greef for Berarra, or even Duran!...Thoughts!?

 

Omit

LaMotta was superior for starters.

 

Maybe not up there with some of those legends but
McGuighan was an excellent body puncher.
