ali never threw body shots

No, he just did what worked for him. Strict headhunting. Fighting tall, not giving his height away.

 

Instead of using body shots to wear his opponents out, Ali's ability to soak up shots (in his later days) and insane reflexes causing his opponents to miss wore them out.

His jab and follow-up combos to the head were all he needed; one of a kind.

 

He threw plenty of jabs to the body in the 60s. Slowed it down in the 70s though. Used it very effectively against Williams and Terrell if you want specific examples, particularly Terrell given his height advantage.

 

yea that's what I was thinking he definately used his jab to the body from time to time

 

And this is why Floyd will always be better than him

 

He's just using what works for him... and he exucuted it beautifully. Seeing him fight is like looking at art, damn poetic and beautiful!!

 

very true, ali never threw body shots. maybe the odd jab, but not proper body shots, wihch is why it was pathetic that anyone took the marciano video fight seriously when considering ali threw about 100 body shots before getting caught.

 

What has this man been smoking?:smoke

 

'money'

 

easy now.

 

hahahaaha

 

Because it's not his style. He used his jab to the body effectivly against Al "Blue" Lewis, Bugner, and Williams.
