    Carlos Palomino is top tier.
    6:50 onwards makes me feel physically sick.


    The whole fight is a demonstration of body punching though.

    Tommy Hearns tends to get under rated when it comes too his body punching, absolute beast.

        Can't go into a thread about body punching and not mention him.

              I am sure I am leaving out many great body punchers. The current great body punchers that come to my mind right now are Rigo, GGG, Spence and Canelo. They are all great body punchers who can and often have ended fights with one wicked body blow.

                My pick of GGG, Spence,Rigo and Canelo was for current active boxers only. If you meant great body punchers of all time there are just too many to list. Obviously the man nicked named the body snatcher was one of the all time best body punchers. Trinidad and Hearns were wicked body punchers.

                    I'd be lying if I said watching a vicious body punch cause a dude to crumble to the floor didn't make me almost unnecessarily happy. Like the punch Khan floored Maidana with.

                    Who are/were the most vicious body punchers to grace the squared circle.

                    Discuss, and if you're so inclined, post vids/links/gifs.
                    I was actually going to mention Khan when I saw the title of the thread.

                    Khan is a very underrated body puncher. He's not a thudding body snatcher like Errol Spence crushing the ribs but he is very sneaky with the body punch and I remember various times he's fought and dropped people with a sneaky body punch that is very hard to see coming because of his speed. He's particularly good at the liver shot and to the solar plexus.

                    Other than that Cotto was devastating to at 140 going to the body.

                    The Khan lookalike Abner Mares is pretty good going to the body too.

                    Klitschko is another one who is overlooked as a good body puncher.

                    Of course there's always Golovkin and Canelo who are both excellent going to the body.

                    It just seems right now out of all the active fighters the most effective body puncher is without a doubt Erroll Spence.

                    From the past you've got the likes of JCC, Lamotta, Mickey Ward and, possibly the fighter who made the body snatcher tag popular, Mike McCallum.

                      Since everyone is mentioning the current ones, i'll go with some from the past...

                      Mike McCallum (Named after his bodypunching - "The Bodysnatcher")
                      Julio Cesar Chavez (He went to the body a lot, very well too)
                      Micky Ward (His left hook to the body was a monster)
                      Jose Luis Castillo (Wore down a lot of guys with this)
                      Ricky Hatton (Body punching was a huge weapon for him)
                      Juan Diaz (Wore down opponents badly with his volume/body punches)
                      Jorge Arce (He was a monster when he was young and at 108 and 112)
