ever see that myth busters where they try to knock buster out of his socks? they try a punch thats fast but with little weight and they try a few other things. eventually they strap an i beam to a truck going 60 mph and get buster to fly out of his socks.
at some point adding more mass becomes pointless.
take a piece of paper and hold it with one hand then with the other hand try to punch through it. what happens? the paper moves out of the way. regardless of the mass if the speed is not enough the paper will always move out of the way. alis head is the piece of paper and no one he fought was so fast that he wasnt able to move out of the way where as plenty of the lighter guys from the past like dempsey fitzsimmons louis didnt just move the paper they pierced it.
