    Inoue, Lomo, Mikey and another guy that hasn't been mentioned is Sergey Lipinets. He is a very good body puncher and underated fighter.

    Golovkin is DQ. He doesn't throw body punches anymore, or at least doesn't throw them against top competitors.

    I think Badou Jack should be considered. Awesome fighter in brutal fights. Even though he takes a while to get going and it has cost him decisions his fights generally end with him using his opponents body as a punch bag

    Yep, GGG has abandoned his once visceral body attack particularly in the Canelo fights. Great busy jab though.

    I like Gassiev as he has really powerful punches, but I think someone like Spence Jr or even Crawford does it a bit better, and more technical.

    However, I think Lomachenko is a really underrated body snatcher. He has a really nice constant attack and never forgets about it.

    Usyk also has a very nice body attack. Both Loma and Usyk have a high-output style that works especially well with body punching.

    Thoughts? Inoue has some nice bodywork too.

    Defo Inoue and sometimes Loma if he wants too.
    Pac has also underrated body work. He often mixes in a straight left in the body that usually opens a right hook, like how he dropped Thurman and Cotto, and how he folded Matthysse, Broner and Thurman with those too. If you want to go back father, his fights with Morales showed great dedication to digging the body. Also Clottey, Margarito and Rios.

    This. Very few people appreciate Pac's body punching. He's hurt a lot of people. Roidquez also did a stanky leg from a body shot.

    Canelo is nasty to the body.
