    Oscar De La Hoya suggests it's B-Hop.

    margarito - gets overlooked because it's straight rights and upper-cuts rather than left hooks but he beats the body bad.

    guerrero has a killer left upper-cut to the belly.

    Montiel is a great shout, one i would have probably forgot to consider...but yeah, he breaks guys in half to the body

    Hatton is good, but as he has stepped up his comp he ain't getting so much success there....opponents are wise to it.....apart from J L Castillo

    prime castillo was an excellent body puncher - mixing head and body well.

    izzy's good too.

    Most guys have forgotten how to go to the body. Cotto is excellent, Marg hits any and everywhere, Hopkins is a great body puncher and inside fighter. Marquez can work the body as well.

    He doesn't mind going low with it either.

    Speaking of Robert, he's basically become his nickname.
