Sweet Pea Whitaker.

Not a joke. He couldn't squash a tomato when he fired to the head, but he put a lot of serious hurt on fighters when he switched to the body.

After Chavez won the early rounds of their 1992 encounter, Whitaker switched to the body and had the usually aggressive Mexican backing up and flustered. After that, the bout was all Whitaker despite what some cerveza soaked judges ruled.

Gatti dug well to the body. Matthew Hilton broke quite a few ribs during his prime.
