    My nomination - Jack Dempsey.

    Best fights to look at - Brennan and Sharkey.

    Probably #1 no doubt with his overall consistent attack.
    I'd put an early Tyson in the top 3 though.

    Jeffries and Fitz deserve mentions... at least for their era.

    Joe Louis

    An honorable mention should go to Tommy Morrison. When he applied pressure to the body, he got his opponent's attention.

    Jeffries was moster body puncher, he didn't even try to find head.

    Fitz is of course among the best ever. Joe Louis is in conversation like in any punching category.

    M@rciano destroyed a generation to the body. Mike Weaver was a great body puncher

    Did he really? Was that the generation that preceded him by 10 years?

    George Chuvalo was a dedicated body mauler.

    Frazier might have been the best. Unless you stopped him early, you were in for a long painful night gasping for air.

    Joe Frazier. He was committed to punishing the body. Solid shots with both hands. His right to the body was wicked too.

    Honorable mention Evander Holyfoeld.
