    Lupe Pintor. His left hooks to the body were textbook. His fight with Gomez was a brutal war of attrition .
    A fight that will stand the test of time. In fact 1982 was the last year of the 15 round fight and probably the
    best year ever for fight of the year candidate's.
    Pintor vs Gomez
    Pryor vs Arguello
    Limon vs Chacon
    Mancini vs Kim

    Norton had a bad habit of punching with an open glove.

    Battling Nelson and his pinched hook deserve mention. Bob Fitzsimmons, Stanley Ketchel, Eder Jofre, George Lavigne, Marcel Cerdan and many others were excellent. Golovkin is on his way there.

    tony Zale and mike McCallum had excellent body attacks
    as well as Tyson
    billy patrol has been seen by many historians as one of the elite body punchers
    Manuel Ortiz was great at chopping down the body
