    ​​​​​His reflexes were great though and was hard to hit and he could hit you. That is enough to wow people.
    Not sure if Ali would be a great trainer as I'm not sure Ali had a lot to teach you

      He is overrated when you have people saying he will blow out the people in todays division there is no way you can go back and watch them fights even Frazier v Ali and say he would beat todays best. When u ask people why they think Ali is the best boxer they will say "for what he did outside the ring" that holds no relevance whatsoever on actual skill. I firmly believe Fury would beat Ali if they fought.

          Is he though? go watch that Ali v Frazier fight he does nothing but get punched in the face throw a punch then clinch i was actually shocked watching that fight hearing how good Ali is then watching that... You really think he's more skilled than Usyk/Fury? must be having a laugh mate.

              Well, people need to remember that Rocky Marciano beat Ali up when Rock was old, fat, retired, and wearing a wig in the ring.

                He was great but I think Larry wouldve beaten any version of him tbh. Top 90s guys like Lennox and Bowe too. Even though this era is pretty weak I think Usyk is more skilled as well.

                  You do know Larry was Ali's sparring partner right?

                    Man, Fury fought 1 elite guy in his all career.

                    And you compare him with Ali, who fought all the best men in two decades?

                    I mean, cmon now. If anything, today`s heavyweights are overrated.

                    Fury fought 1 elite guy in Klitschko. Whyte and Wilder would be bums in Ali`s era.

                      Yeah, not seeing the relevance to what I said though?
