    Don't you mean livershot?

    I personally make a difference between standard bodyblows and livershots.
    A livershot is something you can onehit boxers with, normal body blows are damage by accumulation.

    Roy Jones. He KO'd Glenn Wolfe early in his career with a body punch, but after he KO'd Virgil Hill, he was devastating.

    "Roy Jones Junior is the best body puncher in boxing. He can actually knock you out with a body shot"

    Gerald Mclellan, Mickey Ward, JCC, Tony Zale, Lloyd Marshall & Jack Dempsey are a few names.

    I don't know if it's the one punch KO kind of power, but Kid Azteca has a reputation of being a terrific body puncher with a particularly vicious hook to the liver and, if the boxrec records are correct, he had more than 100 KO's to his name. I know nothing about him though.

    'I loved Williams' right uppercut, left, left, right on Gatica.'

    'Don't you mean a four punch combo?'


    --

    'Hagler almost knocked down Caveman Lee with a jab.'

    'Hmm don't you mean a power jab?'
