The best body puncher in history

[TheGreat1]

JC Chevez can be put in any great catagory, because he was so great.

[Tha Greatest]

So many to name, but off the top of my head:

-Joe Frazier: could be hailed as the best of all-time based on pure determination, effort, and relentlessness.
-Mike McCallum: they didn't called him the "Body Snatcher" for nothing.
-Bob Fitzsimmons: won the heavyweigh title on a single left hook to the solar plexus. Yeah, that was pretty good...
-Tony Zale: from all accounts, he had the best body attack of his day.
-Julio Cesar Chavez: what Mexican can't throw a left hook to the body? His was probably the best of them all, and that's saying something.

There are also many fighters who were so versatile and skilled, they didn't concentrate on the body as much, but they still thew excellent body blows: Roberto Duran, Ray Leonard, Alexis Arguello

Awesome list!

"The BodySnatcher" Mike McCallum:
he has heeps of ko's to the body and would throw a body shot everytime he threw a combo or was on the inside, very well too i might add.

Julio Ceasar Chavez:
he wore down all his opponents with a body attack. with a high punch output, and going to the body, JCC was able to drown his opponents in the deep end of the fight.

these are the only two that i can refer to cause i've seen them fight, and they are the only ones who come to mind when thinking about body punchers.

Julio Cesar Chavez was a great body puncher, so is Jose Luis Castillo, I really think his son has proven that he will be a great body puncher, but he still has a couple of years to be one of the greatest body punchers out there.

[I-WISH-A-MF-WOULD]

James Toney he should have had the "The BodySnatcher" nickname and Roy Jones ain't a all time great but after ne zeroed V Hill with a body shot he was as brutal as anyone when he committed to the body. Mosley was pretty good too and I agree JCC and Mickey Ward were amongst the best.

remember when gatti crushed dorin with a real good body punch in like the 1st or 2nd round, that was nice!

Bodypunching

I was wondering also. How many fighters do u know made guys quit on there stool because of the body attack?(Mayweather 2) How many guys u know made u piss two pints of blood due to the body attack?(Taylor 1)

Thats the brutal souvenier that you give your opponent- make him piss blood for a couple of days after the fight to remind him of the punishment he took in the ring. I have to agree with you all about the best body punchers...they mustve taken an anatomy class because they know exactly where the liver is located...and once you see your opponent react to the punch then its all over...keep ****ing him with that left until he drops. To those that have ever been hit in the "sweet spot" its a pain that you remember your whole life. It hurts so bad and lasts so long, Id rather get hit in the head any day compared to a liver punch. Anyone else ever get hit in the "sweet spot" before? Tell us how it felt.
