Who are the best body-punchers in the sport today?

[CFH]

After watching the Caballero fight this weekend and a video of Lucien Bute that Daxx posted in a different thread, it got me to thinking about who the best body-punchers are amongst active fighters.

Off the top of my head, I would say Caballero, Bute, Cotto, and maybe Mosley are among the best, but I'm sure I'm missing some obvious ones.

hatton throws the strongest body shots ive ever seen

I think lamont Peterson deserves a shout. Hatton was always a vicious body puncher

Obviously not the best right now, but if he carries on Antwone Smith definitely will be. He scored a KO with one of the best body punches I've ever seen on the Berto-Quintana undercard. The other guy didn't get up for 8 minutes.

Right now, I'd say it's between Caballero, Cotto & Bute. Vitali Klitschko is actually surprisingly good to the body, he just tends not to utilize it. Glen Johnson does very well breaking opponents down to the body, I thought it was brilliantly utilized against Mack.

JCC and McCallum use to be my favourite fighters with the body shots but Cotto would be my best and the shot he hit Jennings with was beautiful.

Hatton (if he's still in the mix)
Nate Campbell
Urango can change someones mind with a left hook to the ribs
JML
Clottey (I hate to put him in any "best of" category besides that iron chin)
Cotto
Jorge Arce (did he retire?)
Mickey Roman (watch Antonio escalante fight last month!!)

I'd pick Hatton

Or Cotto (this is a very cool vid)

Both left their opponents looking sickened to fuck when they got those bodyshots in.

Micky Ward threw a beautiful body punch. He was better at it than Hatton for sure. Little tap on the side of the head, ear or shoulder and straight down under the rib cage. Awesome...

There is a few very good in that department but I would that till now, overall, Cotto has a bit of advance on the others as he did throw a couple more significant ones (in my opinion) though other like Caba and Bute are quite respectable beasts in that respect too.
