Yep - Amir Khan had a great chin. The speed of a punch is how quickly you can get it from starting point to the target. When learning to jab, I...
Okay champ. I can highlight ample examples of Ali demonstrating sound fundamental defensive techniques throughout his career - you likely won't...
How did that work for Liston? Liston had one of the ATG jabs and an excellent left hook. Having defensive ability doesn't mean that you're not...
Thanks mate - you know me, lurk in the shadows, watching the city, waiting until I feel like it again.

Ah - I'm with you here on this one, but I suppose I caveat that due to Liston's demeanour and the way that he tore through the division, I...
I think after 1972 right up to probably the Lyle fight, as Ali has some of his fluidity of movement back, he has the speed, confidence and nous to...
A couple of things - Ali is taller and faster than Liston, takes a better punch and has quicker head movement. In the first fight, Liston...
