Go ask someone to hit you in the body with some gloves on. Then you will see how overrated they are........

Are body shots overrated?

We don't always see tangible evidence of a fighter being broken down due to body work in a fight. If they do slow down, we can't 100% attribute it to just the body work. Fighters are also very good at hiding their pain.

Bodyattack plans are used in a fight when the boxer cannot connect effectively to the head thus they concentrate on the body to slow the other guy down
This is used against opponents who are very slick/elusive, have faster foot/handspeed and decent to good counterpunching ability.
Did it ever occur to you OP that they want to hit the head but they cant? The body cant move, so hit the body.

Better question: Why did Pacquiao stop throwing to the body? Way back against Barrera, his body-attack was incredible. Maybe developing the other arm stopped his desire to work on the body?

I have to question the validity of this type of post.
While you don't necessarily have to have ever boxed to post here, I read stuff like this and just WTF?

body shots can wear opponents down and also open them up for shots up top
if you look at a boxer like kell brook, he rearly goes for the body, if ever, he's a headhunter, but he seems to have a lot of success, so no bodyshots are not essential, but imo bodyshots are a good addition to ones toolset
