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
