Underated, one if the nastiest body punchers I personally have seen is Ray Robinson.
he lands with such leverage, timing and accuracy in vulnerable areas. Watching him break Lamottas ribs (I recall he broke his ribs at one point late in the fight ) was pain to watch. The way he times his shots to the pit of the stomach and heart is brutal to watch.
Duran is another who employed a similar strategy. He times the shots so they land with such force and accuracy in vulnerable areas.
this article mentions Lamottas splintering rib cage. I remember Lamotta in an interview mentioned his broken ribs
Micky Ward was pretty lethal when he went to the body.
