Was going to say this, probably the most famous in history.

cant really remember but didn't steve robinson ko duke McKenzie with a body shot ?

Gassiev's KO of Wlodarczyk the other week was sublime although he set it up with an uppercut

Good shout.. Was definitely a good shot. Loved the way he landed the uppercut and body shot.

Crawford KO on Indongo wasn't too bad.. Not near top 10 though.

What Heavyweight Champion, besides Fitz drilling Corbett, ever scored a famous 1-punch body shot KO? ... It's the most lethal division.

I don't believe that left hook to De La Hoya from Hopkins was a particularly smashing body shot... It was the LAST KO punch Bernard ever threw. I've never seen anyone react to a liver shot by rolling around and pounding the canvas with their fist... You throw all that energy into getting up.

Marcos Maidana dropped like a sack of cement and immediately struggled to get to his feet when Amir Khan dropped him with a perfect liver shot.. He beat the count and Khan couldn't follow up with anything good.

Ahh yes, The Legendary Solar Plexus Punch. That definitely fits the bill.

It's the winning post.

Nobody here knows of Fitzsimmons-Corbett?

Fitzsimmons-Ruhlin?

Langford-Philadelphia Jack O'Brien?

(I realize those fights took place more than ten years ago).

Didn't score a knockdown... Wasn't a legal punch... And you have no video for obvious reasons.

Allen vs. Browne?

Not boxing history, but yeh.

Surely Tony Zale ranks up there.
