    I was watching Katsunari Takayama recently and what struck me is how much energy he uses to do absolutely nothing. As fun and exciting as the Lightning Kid was, he's easily one of the least economical fighters I've ever seen. At least he had the endless gas tank to get away with it. But who else used too much energy?

    Ali and Holmes and throw Fury to a lesser extent. Those dance around types burn a lot of energy. When they’re in prime they look real good but tend to have to take rounds off for rest.

    Ali is an excellent choice.

    Ali for sure part of the reason I think he's a bit overrated
