    Holmes.Ali had decent ones at best, but Muhammad's athleticism was a notch above almost everybody, so he could afford to get away with murder many times.Larry had a tighter technical sense.

    Let's not forget Ali's chin. His flaws sometimes got him into jams that his chin was able to overcome. If he only had a so so chin he might've lost a few more fights but he was blessed with one of the best chins in HW history.
