    And will somebody tell me what is the best way of defeating the Ali style with not using the Ali style yourself being an option. Just what is the ideal way it doesnt have to be any specific fighter. What tactic do you use?

      certainly it's always to keep a high guard.

        Seriously, If I'm Marciano, how do I train to beat Ali?

          What Ken Norton did was probably the best way to fight a guy like Ali, he was able to neutralize Ali's jab and then come back with his own jab, he never let Ali get into his rhythm, which is the way to beat Ali, if you let him get into his rhythm, it's pretty much over.

            and specifically Ali. Not a fighter like Ali. Ali himself.

              That's probably because with his Jab he makes Ali react to what he's doing. I think that's the key. You have to make him react to you.

                Is that accurate?

                  Does Marciano have absolute no chance against Ali just biologically there's no way.

                    It was that Norton made Ali react to what he was doing, he just kept Ali off balance and out of sync all night in all 3 of their fights because of his ability to neutralize a bigger man's jab, he gave Larry Holmes the same problems.

                      What didn't he do that we able to outjab Ali because Ali had one of the best jab of all time.
