    Yes...being the only man ever to knockout the unknockdownable foreman...scoring a one punch knockout of liston...stopping the iron willed frazier....lacerating henri cooper...its quite a body of work...not some pillow fisted penelope

    Show me how many guys Ali knocked out?
    He TKOed Liston,Bonavena,,Cooper,Quarry and Patterson and KOed Foreman who was tired,London who was not durable and ancient glass jaw Cleveland Williams and even more ancient LHw Archie Moore.
    He was not that good power puncher.

    You don’t say?
    But you stated he was feather fisted! Just because he wasn’t a power puncher doesn’t make him feather fisted.

    So you’re saying that Bob Fitzsimmons a fighter of around 165 pounds who repeatedly laid out much bigger men, and is recognised as one of the hardest punchers ever, some would say the pound for pound hardest, he had weak punching power?

    i´m very surprised no one mentioned jimmy young yet.
    he fits the topic to a tee and should be number 1 on that list.
