I think Razvan Cojanu could testify to Efe Ajagba's recent improvement in the bodypunching department. Watching it was making me wince. Keep that improvement going, Efe and it won't just be me commenting.

There's a reason why Dillian Whyte is called the Bodysnatcher. I remember in his fight with Anthony Joshua, he landed quite a lot of body punches. Like, quite clearly more than you ever see any other heavyweight landing.

Is it because he steals corpses from graveyards? because he invades people's bodies and takes them over with his alien presence? because he's like Wilder and likes to put bodies on his record?
Pretty sure Fury has a better body shot resume and could lay a stronger bodysnatcher claim (if it even means body puncher lol) tbh. Dropped/stopped Wilder, Abell, Rogan, Belshaw, his pro debut...off top of my head. Did some nice work on Chis's body first fight too, and Wallin admitted that Fury's bodywork gassed him.

The question was '...works the body the best'
Whyte does throw a lot of body punches, so he could be considered "... works the body the most" but considering how many body punches he throws, and how many guys he has stopped or dropped with body shots ( none for ages) he ain't a contender.
