i Don't believe any1 had the same movement as ali in heavyweight history but theirs always been a few able to move on their feet rather gud at heavyweight, Ali could move like a middleweight in his prime, no trainer in the world can teach u tht, you'r either born with it or not!

I think Chris Byrd had similar footmovement and possibly better upper body movement. Those attributes is what allowed him to win the HW title. He didn't have any HW power. I think Byrd would've been better in another era, this era of super big HW's hurt him.
