    I loved watching Eddie Mustafa Muhammad's title-winning effort over Marvin Johnson. He absolutely murdered Johnson's body with left hooks.

    J.C. Chavez destroyed Edwin Rosario's body. Fernando Montiel can be fun to watch, and I enjoyed watching his battle with Luis Melendez, particularly the left hook in the final round to the body that dropped Melendez.

    Mike Tyson was a vicious bodypuncher. Razor Ruddock took an absolute hammering to the body, particularly in the 10th round of their rematch. Tyrell Biggs tok a beating to the body, and according to Tyson, "cried like a woman".

    For single shots, my favorite bodypunch KO ever is Roy Jones-Virgil Hill.

    Micheal Nunn murdering Crawford Ashley's body always comes to mind.

    Bert Cooper going to Mercer's body, though Mercer didn't seem to care.

    Its funny, that the reason Ray got the stoppage was because he'd continued to focus on the body in the middle rounds, which completely took all the steam out of Jake rendering him helpless in the later rounds

    Robinson was one of the very best body punchers ever. You just need to see near peak SRR footage to see that

    Robinson was a tremendous body-hitter, especially the way he rapped away when opponents tried to tie him up.

    Hearns v Barkley I- Hearns lost, but the body attack in that fight was absolutely brutal, especially as it only went three rounds.

    Most of Frazier's fights, not one in particular. I just love the way he digs his left hook into the ribs.

    Dempsey knocked out Brennan in the 12th round of their second fight with two straight rights to Brennans side, set up with a left hook to the face. Recently, Cotto's knockdown of Gomez with a brutal shot to the solar plexus deserves mention.
