    Hatton will always get a mention in threads like this.

    Rjj could hack the body hard when he chose

    Cotto tho he moved away from it in later years

    Tyson set up a lot of his best work with body shots

    Always thought bute was an over rated body puncher. Froch had his left uppcut sussed and he had nothing else

    Margarito although he kinda hit everything not really a finesse body puncher

    Golovkin is one of the best body punchers of all time, not just the 21st century. Never seen so much leverage with each body shot thrown.

    Honorable mentions include:

    - Cotto
    - Hatton
    - Kovalev
    - Castillo
    - Barrera

    Spence is looking to be a great body puncher in the making.

    The only credit I can give Chalie Zelenoff is that he always seems to find guys that don't expect him to do what he does straight away (e.g. hook, hook) and then through shock decide not to continue.

    Tyson fury is a very vicious body puncher

    He throws very strong precise shots if he hits you in the liver you're finished

    Watch the Rogan, Cunningham and abell fights to see what I mean

    ^This. Jirov = VICIOUS body puncher. He probably knocked more guys out with body shots than he did head shots. Best body puncher at least in Cruiserweight history.
