    In hindsight, I have realised that the wardley-tunney hybrid is effectively prime Ali.

    The perfect heavyweight will never exist, because at the end of the day, a fighter has to either **** or get off the toilet.

    A heavyweight who is a finisher will commit to it, while a heavyweight who can hit without getting hit will commit to it.

    The closest that we ever came to a perfect heavyweight id Sam Langford.

    The reason that he came so close to being perfect, was that he was a heavyweight trapped in a stunted 5' 6'' body, and he had no choice but top be good at everything.

    The power and chin were given to him, but the rest he had to figure out.
