One could argue that not only was Sherriff the greatest athlete the game has seen, but also the greatest technician. Tommy Loughran?
Off the top i can't think of a single weakness the 1967 Ali had:huh, the guy was a pure fighting machine, then the Government, fukked him over and the rest is history..
Yea Frazier was kicking his ass with left hooks in 1971, but in 1967 nobody was, were talking 4 years here which is a long time in boxing.... If this fukked up Government wouldn't have screwed Ali for 3 or 4 years, he could have easily won another 15 fights:deal.. The 1966-1967 Ali was probably as invincible as any fighter in history...
Hearns, Leonard, Curry, Nunn, McCallum, Camacho, Benitez, Kalumbay, Napoles, Duran, Whitaker to name a few, there were many it just depends on what skill you're partial to some had it all some had very specific distinct skills.....
No, Foxy; Ali had a susceptibility to left hooks against Banks and Cooper, then cured it for years only for it to resurface again in 1971! Weird, eh?
Didn't body punch, moved backwards in a straight line, saluted with his right when he got tagged, didn't put his right into position when jabbing, nearly always circled anti -clockwise,rarely used the uppercut?
