Did these guys have any weaknesses?

Toney and McCallum both had weaknesses against movers and Toney also could be outworked

 

Moore didnt like movers. Ali relied too much on his physical gifts and didnt have great fundamentals.

 

Ali was not a hard puncher ....this is coming from his opponents mouths

 

Try telling Cleveland Williams that !!!

 

Too lazy tonight to go through all of them, but yes, all had weaknesses.

Despite having the dullest style of anyone on the list, Monzon had the least weaknesses of anyone on the list.

 

This. If Monzon had weaknesses, nobody was ever able to take advantage of them.

 

All were boring???

 

Harada and Olivares?

 

Do you mean they struggled with a certain styles and attributes of their opponents or flaws in the way they fought

 

Woah woah woah, Ali had some of the best fundamentals ever, he showed that in the second half of his career when he no longer had the physical gifts he showed it against Frazier in the second fight, and Foreman he showed his smarts

 

Ali was training various different fundamentals and tactics all throughout his career. You can see him practicing a rudimentary version of the rope-a-dope in sparring as early as ‘61 or ‘62. He was getting his mind ready to take over for when his body started to go. These are the main types of things he worked on in sparring, period. He knew the importance of this kinda thing early on.

I wish Roy took a page out of his book.

 

I disagree, he moved his head back from punches and did not try to slip them,he jabbed with his right hand out of position,he seldom punched to the body.Great physical gifts but not great fundamentals.

 

Even though Moore didn't like movers, he always found a way to win to be fair to him.
