    Well that big word,,,,if,,,,. gets in the way. Can't see Hagler losing to the bodysnatcher , but it'd be competitive with Marvin wearing him out down the stretch .

    Although I like Julio Caesar Chavez Sr's brutal body punching, in all fairness, the edge goes to the Body Snatcher Mike McCallum, both are all time greats.

    It's tight, but Chavez. He was brutal with his persistent body punches and intention to crumple guys over with his shots. His intent was to hurt people to the body. McCallum was also a great body puncher, just not quite on the same level as Chavez.
