Thud sound effects for anything heavy meeting something solid. A punch landing. A body hitting the floor. Fight foley is a big part of it, with kicks and body falls, and the rest comes from rock and boulder impacts, snow being hit and crushed, footsteps with weight in them and doors slammed shut.

A good thud is mostly low end and very little tail. Layer a dull Strike under a crack and it reads as a hard blow, and on its own it's closer to a fall. Fight libraries cover punches and bodies dropping, and some sit next to cloth movement and whooshes so a whole Melee exchange can come from the same library. Rock and snow impacts give a heavier, earthier hit. Horror and cinematic libraries add designed hits for when the thud needs to be bigger than life. In a scene, a thud tells you weight: a boulder landing, or a body that isn't getting up.
