nah, that's a dive bomb.
body slam is where you grab someone (bear hug style usually) and just slam them into the ground.

i avoid the ground at all costs, last place I want to be. safest place to be is standing IMHO, well especially for a boxer-type, but even in general. Going to the ground can get really messy.

^^^ this. The ground looks great in the UFC and a gracie breakdown video but you really want to be careful of doing that. Leaves you open to so many other attacks. Like a mate or the guys pissed off girlfriend just waiting to kick you in the head.
If you're referring to specifically sparring a douchebag wanna be MMA fighter like Zelenoff then that's a different story and a double leg is your new best friend.

I didn't mean fight him on the ground, but if you can bring him to the ground and you are standing and you can do what you want as you are at an advantage.
