Rate Muhammed Ali's Power

[Bhopreign]

I dont hear this brought up much, I've seen Ali hit guys flush all night in a ring and not do much to them, mostly a young Ali, on a scale of 1-10 what would you rate his power at any stage of his career.

average for a boxer his size 5/10

well he definitely didn't have any one punch power. more like good accuracy and accumulation and the nonpareil of stamina/endurance.

one punch power i'd say is a 5 or 6. mediocre at best. maybe 7 at most.

He could punch but usually he would rather flick out jabs and throw with speed but little power.

yea I seen him waylay into **** when he means it but usually he'd prefer speed/combos. Remember ali modeled himself on sugar ray robinson, difference was robinson had killer power and that's why p4p he's the greatest ever and not ali.

he did have a pretty good one shot KO against Zora Folley.

He had power when he sat down on his punches, but didnt always use it. He has KOs over some pretty damn durable fighters though...so you really cant underestimate his power.

Obviously he aint a big puncher, but he could punch. Im sure Oscar bonavena would have agreed, if he were alive.
