    Tommy Hearns deserves a shout. Dude could be a lumber jack at times.

            This is not an answer to the thread, just a cool video.

              Roy Jones was a sick body puncher too. Not just Hill...he dropped and/or hurt quite a few guys with rib shots. I remember him folding the typically tough Glenn Wolfe in half and making him quit with a hook underneath

                Ha, that was the fight I 'knew' Jones really had it. I mean we sort of knew from day one but the way he took apart Wolfe so quickly was incredible.

                Next came the poncy win against Hopkins. By poncy I mean that you could tell it was a talented gym fighter against a genuine street tough guy. But by the time Jones fought Toney he'd got his man knackers.

                I've been trying to think (through the fog of a two day drinking session) who are/were good body punchers. Not sure if anyone has mention Hatton but that was a big part of his game although he's probably not top ten.

                McCallum was the best from my youthful days.

                Mickey Ward was a bloody good one too. As was gatti.

                Tony Zale's fights with Graziano were among the best trilogy of all time. Maybe more body shots in that lot than any other.

                  Lists are always a nightmare but here's my rough take on it

                  Mike McCallum
                  Julio Cesar Chavez
                  Carllos Palomino
                  Joe Frazier
                  Roberto Duran
                  Gerald McClellan
                  Marco Antonio Barrera
                  Tony Zale
                  Mickey Ward
                  Mike Tyson

                  Man so many great body punchers over the years, Hard to narrow it down! Id probably have a different list if asked tomorrow! A few for future lists - Santa Cruz, Alvarez and Matthysee
