    Of all the footage I have seen of Ali, I never really saw him use reflexes the same way Jones always did.

    Dont get dancing, countering and dominating confused with reflexes.

          Doesnt matter, the fact still remains, in my book, that his defense was largely based upon footwork and floating out of range, with decent movement and comparatively little head movement.

            I'm going to have to disagree with most of the posts and say Ali. He showed great reflexes against Frazier, Dokes, Foreman to an extent, Liston, Norton, etc. Jones Jr had some incredible reflexes as well but I think its just below of Ali.

                A prime Roy Jones has the best reflexes of any boxer, ever.

                    I'd say Roy Jones. For a 6'3 220ish guy Ali was lightning though. Ridiculous.

                      Also Jones revealed his chin to be less than solid when he slowed down, but it didn't matter in his best days because his reflexes were that good. Jones losing a round in his prime was an uncommon sight while Ali had close fights at all stage of his career.

                      Jones had amazing reflexes, some of the best I've seen on film.
                      Have to agree.
