It's pretty hard to argue with your pick, and both Gerry & Baby get thurmbs up as well. The blogbaba will add Roberto Duran and leave it at that. Great question.

My picks will be several over the course of history: Roberto Duran, JC Chavez, Miguel Cotto, Mike Tyson was a good body puncher, Mickey Ward, and my fighter who is slept on and that is Joe Frazier.

Bob Fitzsimmons- a middleweight who won the HEAVYWEIGHT championship of the world with a body punch. He was famous for his body clouts.
Jack Dempsey
Ace Hudkins
both were THE body punchers of their era.
Tony Zale- another famous body puncher. Al Hostak said "When Zale hit me to the body I didn't know whether to throw up or crap".
Alexis Arguello- Actually DID make someone crap with a shot to the body(Boza-Edwards). This is a true story. But I just put him in for humor's sake. I wouldn't make him a top 10 body puncher.
The best bodypuncher I saw in my time was Mike McCallum, followed closely by JC Chavez. Thomas Hearns scored KO's with bodyshots. His left hook to the body was underrated and brutal and had Iran Barkley in a bad way before he came up with his hail Mary shot.
Ruben Olivares and Duran were also brutal bodypunchers and belong in anyone's top 10.

of course its julio cesar chavez. if your too young to know who that is just watch his protoge, jose luis castillo, the best body puncher in boxing today. miguel cotto is alright but as his opponents get better his punches have less affect.

Foreman was the strongest Boxer to enter the ring, he was a serious body puncher. The reason he lost to Ali was the fact that Ali had both speed and wits on his side.

I agree. Chavez was brutal to the body.

Mike Zambidis or Mighty Mo.
They're on youtube.com
I think Mighty Mo has the best knock out punch.

Combining brutal power and the best left hook of all time, I'll take Smokin' Joe Frazier.

just review the tapes of miguel cotto fights. you can count how many knockdowns are made due to his body shots.
