The only thing is Ali rarely threw to the body: He was usually a head-hunter all the way.

I know, I wasn't serious about it. The only time I remember him throwing to the body was against Ernie Terrell.


Tony Zale takes out Graziano. Zale set up both knockdowns with a right hook to the body.

"Kill the body and the head dies" Smokin' Joe said.
And so he did.

Zale definately belongs there. Excellent body attack.

I was watching the Hearns-Barkley fight a little while ago and had forgotten just how vicious a body puncher Tommy Hearns was with his left hand. Good God those were some unbeleivable punches he was hittingh Iran with.

Good call with Hearns. Some of his body work on Duran before the final KO was brutal.

Muhammad Ali.



Out of the fighters that haven't been mentioned, I thought Gene Tunney had a great left hook to the body. He isn't known for it but the newspaper reports often mention him hurting his opponents with body punches.


Tunney stops Georges Carpentier with a body punch at 5:40


More at 7:20

Ali was a headhunter through and through

Ricky Hatton. he may not of knocked down loads of top opponents out with them but i bet people like collzo and lazcano were pissing out bits of there livers after the fight.

roberto duran, whe he got in there he was clincial, eventually wearing you down to the point that you were hobbling around the ring. I still remember that hook to the body he gave monroe brooks

bernard hopkins, mike mccallum, ruben olivares and carlos zarate (i think i read somewhere that he would make grown men cry from his vicious body shots)
