        You bastard, that was my pick!!

        I'll go with Bob Foster thought I think he lacks the straight right to the body and had very good speed, but not great.

          Vitali and Hearns embody pretty much everything except no one throws a straight right to the body

            Straight right to the body is a great punch, Bob Fitzsimmons used it to fantastic effect.

                  Obvious choice is Tommy Hearns.

                    Straight punches to the body i think are generally just used as change ups meant to catch you off guard hence its usually a jab to the body not a cross.
