Rocky could dig to the body....hell anywhere he threw a punch I am sure it hurt the guy.


Evander Holyfield would work the body, sometimes harder than others.


What got me thinking about this was the Cotto fight....I have never seen someone work the body like that in the heavier divisions...barring of course Mike McCallum
got to Holy before i could so you get the cc , he would throw the hook down and then up, and it was very effective against a lot of the top heavyweights
