The best bodypuncher - enter your votes

Julio Cesar Chavez was wicked in his day.

I would put put the body punchers that knew where to hit you and set up their shots over the guys that just aim to throw punches in bunches at the body.

1 well timed shot beats 12 rounds of shoe shine punches, just look at Hopkins number.

Ricky Hatton

mosely and cotto

i hate being late to the threads

agustus hmm

I'd add McGuigan to Ice's great list.

PAST: CHAVEZ
PRESENT: COTTO AND HATTON
FUTURE: REMEMBER THIS NAME!!! LAMONT PETERSON (NOT ANTHONY, LAMONT)

IMO of all time JC Chavez

Present, Barrera,Cotto,Hatton

JCC

Mike Macullum

Mike Tyson
and the present ones would have to be JLC,Hatton but easily top of the current pile,Cotto.

Mickey Ward
Harry Greb
Mike Tyson
Ricky Hatton

Here's why I am so impressed with Ricky Hatton's finish of Castillo, that now must put him alongside Hopkins McCallum, Ward, and Chavez as one of the greatest body punchers of all times. To land that shot on a great body punching MEXICAN makes it all the more spectacular and impressive! Cotto deserves a huge mention too as another possible member of that list.
