Body Work

iran barkley consistently landed excellent bodyshots on roberto duran... which made it all the more remarkable that duran managed to grind out the victory.

kostya tszyu lands a really vicious bodyshot on sharmba mitchell right before the end of their 2nd fight.

but for a sustained showing of wonderful bodypunching, i'd go with chavez-rosario or duran-leonard 1. both were magnificent, two of the all-time masters.

 

if that's the best display of bodypunching you've ever seen, you really really need to watch more boxing.

 

Maybe not the best, but my favorite display:

Might as well talk about the guy who's fighting today (Bute). The KO of Andrade with a body shot was very surprising. I think he could have hit him on the head with a shovel for 2 hours without knockin'him out, so going to the body was a good idea haha.

 

Most of Saldivar's, Barrera's and Chavez fights.

Palomino vs Stracy
Segura vs Calderon (most recently)

 

Good shout.

Vicente was one of the best body punchers of all time!

 

Cotto vs Gomez was pretty vicious as well.

 

Tyson vs Ruddock 2
Duran vs De Jesus 3

 

A bunch of Castillo's fights deserve mention.

 

I really liked Floyds bodywork on the Judah fight.

 

floyd on judah the body shots are what made judah hit him in the nuts, the last strait right to the pit of the stomach was like the final straw

 

Joe Frazier vs Muhammad Ali 1 is great

 

Benitez vs Maurice Hope the (cat,El radar ) barely went to the head this fight.
