    Seriously the way he places his punches and the sheer force behind them, his hands must hurt like hell after the fight

    He actually has had hand problems. I'm guessing you don't really follow his career. After Stiverne fight he injured his hand pretty badly.

    He also broke it in the Arreola fight and tore his bicep which is why I am wondering how he is able to throw these shots

    I was going to say, didn't he break his hand after Stiverne and injure it during another bout?

    Yeah he does get hand problems with those punches he throws and it is no surprise.

    I don’t know how he generates such power, he doesn’t have big legs like iron mike or a huge hands like Foreman. It must be the speed but Ali was extremely quick but not necessarily a big puncher.
