      One thing about Ali was he had weak fists in terms of needing cortisone shots in his hands before fights..As claimed by Ali in his book "the Greatest" but if you look at Ali's one punch knockouts like with Bonavena..the opponent never saw them coming..The one with Liston wasn't a knockout ..The referee Jersey Joe should have let Liston continue Liston beat the count ..Referee incompetance in handling that knockdown was why it ended so quick

        Ali, both Klits, SRL, Tito, Foreman although he could land a few solid shots to the liver, Khan, Judah, Floyd, Donaire, Hops, the list goes on, most fighters are head hunters with the odd shot to the body

          Floyd was an excellent body puncher in his super-feather weight and light-weight days. He also dug some good body punches in the Maidana fight.

          Lennox Lewis was a great head-hunter. Terry Norris too, he ocasionally threw punches to the body, but it was mostly to set-up head shots.

          Finito Lopez also rarely went to the body.

            Floyd and Finito were not head hunters by a long shot. Lopez in particular always mixed the Mexican trademark left hook to the liver into his combinations.

            And Mayweather loves to catch and shoot to the body plus uses the body jab to make guys bring their hands down.

              Floyd wasn't a great body puncher, far from great. He could dig in a few shots as any fighter with basic training can and his jab to the body used to be a better weapon than it is now but he was never "great" at body work.

                He wasn't great but the body work he did do was normally very high quality and he could hurt you to the body if given on other option and has even stopped a couple fighters from body shots so I would say his body punching is very underrated .

                  What!! pac always go to the body, maybe not in recent years but look at his footage in his early career. he punish opponent body all the time.

                      Floyd's jab to the body is arguably his best weapon
