    Several Good Ones!

    Cooney, just watch some video of his body shots that stopped fights
    Tyson, excellent power and speed combination to the body
    Frazier, just like Cooney with that left hook, he loved the Double left, 1st to the body then the head, just ask Ali.

    Morrison, he did like head shots often, but threw a lot of left hook body shots.
    Dempsey, he would go in with power shots to the body then the head.
    Foreman would wing shots at anything he could hit, that included the body

    Fitzsimmons, someone here mentioned his pinpoint accuracy, good choice, remember he put Corbett down to win the title with a body shot.he is credited with inventing the Solar Plexus punch.

    Marciano, he would hit you anywhere he could, with excellent body shots, many guys he fought, said they could hardly raise their arms after fights.

    Langford, H. Wills said he hit him to the body so hard he looked back to see if the punch came out the other side, he said he constantly attacked the body.
    He invented the term, Kill the body and the head will die.

      I have seen him get credit for that but the solar plexus punch goes way back to the bareknuckle era.

      The solar plexus was called the "mark" and a lot of the guard positions in those days were purposely intended to place the arms in such a way that you could "bar the mark," i.e. protect it from being hit.

        While Frazier used body punches as key tools to success, and probably better at it as it was his trademark, I go with your pick. Boxers sharing the ring with George say his blows really, really hurt.
