    I have this bet with one of my friends. He tells me it would be impossible for me to find any footage involving Ali throwing a body punch/shot. He had to at least throw one in his career. Could anyone help me find a video with the great Ali throwing at least one shot to the body?

    I'm pretty sure he tagged Ernie terrell downstairs a few times. Might want to try the Norton fights and... maybe Ernie Shavers. Buster Mathis fight too maybe.

    Yeah he was a horrible body puncher, he just jabbed to the body and it was not a stiff jab either.

    Ali float like a butterfly sting like a butterfly.

    He might go to the body but he isnt a sledgehammer like Geroge Foreman.

    Your friends were ****ing ******ed to make that bet. Absolutely ****ing ******ed. He didn't throw to the body often, but to believe it would be impossible to find one body punch of his on film. Wow.

    In dude's defense, Roger Mayweather did once state that Ali never threw body shots.
