    Of the recent era, I can only think of Jermain Taylor as not being a very effective body puncher - and possibly Corey Spinks. I may be sleeping on Spinks' body punching however.

    Lennox

    Waldo

    Ali

    Pure boxers will go to the body less, obviously.

    In fact all the big tall heaveys have been mostly headhunters. Except maybe for Bowe, his inside game was the ebst of any big man Ive ever seen.

    Calzaghe has been known to shred the body.

    I'll also reply to Brooklyn with Kessler, he doesn't go there much, but when he does it's been some beautiful technique. I think he's a great body puncher, but he needs to implement it much more.
