    I remember that fight. Imagine what an inspired Eddie Mustafa could have accomplished.

    I haven't seen a lot of prime footage of Zale (how much is there?). Never really captured my imagination.

    Agreed. It's his ferocity to the body that gets overplayed (mainly by those who are mainly going by reputation rather than footage), but he was one of the most economical and consistent body punchers I've ever seen.

    Nobody has mentioned Jim Jeffries yet.

    He knew how to throw a head punch, but used them very selectivley.

    But the people who have seen most of his fights all unanimously agree that he's the best bodypuncher... I dont think that's a coincidence...
