    Floyds punch to Sharmba Mitchells solar plexus was a nice one.

    But still, there are greater body punchers active, fighting today.. that makes the list ahead of Floyd.

    How about RJJ against Virgill Hill? That was brutal.

    Yeah of course but I'm talking about active good fighters. RJJ is shot but in his prime he was a great body puncher that shot against Hill was an ATG body shot.

    Btw, Sharmba Mitchell - Floyd Mayweather is a great example of how Floyd can keep leading with his right hand without risking things defensively against southpaws, although Mitchell is not as good as Pacquiao, granted.. Floyd still proves in that fight he can keep on leading with his right hand without losing too much balance.. he's not even reaching with that punch, hes just throwing it with perfect balance and repeats the deed.

    Pacquiao is ****ed against that lead right, and that right to the body would also do some damage.

    Spot on his right hand will give Pac hell, he will be able to land it almost at will.

    less rounds so there is less chance of a guy tiring out and getting exhuasted. ali be a round behind frazier if it where a 12 rounder. hearns would of won a boxing clinic over another great boxer agaisnt leonard if it where a 12 rounder.


    clottey i feel does pretty good body work. keeps it sharp and solid and works his way to the head.

    Great call. Lots of Bute's KO's are body shots.

    Lyakhovich absolutley pulverized Brewsters ribs in their fight.

    Helenius who is at least 6'6 has a nasty ****ing right hand that he loves throwing to the body.

    Korobov is an awesome body puncher

    Jirov hasn't been mentioned, was ****ing savage and an ATG body puncher. I never get tired watching him do his thing.

    In Heavyweight, the last great body puncher was Mike Tyson... :roll:
