Basically what I feel people either don't talk about enough or put down to often Ingo's, Holyfield's, Ali's and Bruno's power. All or them had banging punches and KOed top HWs (with the exception of Bruno, but he clearly could crack) Lewis's, Wach's and Purity's chin. Wach's and Purity's are ATG imo. Lewis's but it isn't as bad as people say Ernie Terrel and Frank Bruno's jabs. Both were wicked Schemling, Wilder's and Lewis's Ring IQ Lewis is imo top 5 pfp for this. Wilder's is far from ATG but it's better than given credit for, and Schemling managed to spot flaws in Loughran and Louis. Vitali Klitschko and Floyd Patterson's Defence. Both were difficult to catch clean in there primes
So many people forget that Ali could bang especially when he wanted to. I’d add Patterson’s heart Marciano’s ability to close the gap Archie at HW And Listons record when examined is one of the best all time
Actually I'd say that Ali's power is overrated tbh. Anyways: - Marciano's explosiveness - Burn's power & chin - Walcott's power - Moore's power - Dempsey's ring generalship - Braddock's sense of distance - Louis's left hand - Carnera's power - Charles' chin - Morrison's accuracy and power - Baer's ability to land his punches - Ingo's power - Holyfield's ring generalship - Sullivan's explosiveness and stamina - Frazier's chin
Fraziers defense was indeed underrated. Who had better head movement at HW? As was his right hand to the body.
I think a lot of people who say Ali couldn't punch, just generally didn't like him. It seems almost a dig at him.
