Ali was one of, if not the best....but versatile? Ali was like Roy Jones. he was so damn talented that he could invent solutions to the problems he had in the ring, but lets not confuse turtle doves with turtle dees: Ali could not throw much of anything other than a jab, he could not fight inside, was dependent on his foot speed for his defense, hardly versatile in my book.
A great champ who was versatile would be a guy like Marciano. He had great angles...what we martial artists call tai sabaki, Marciano could punish you from all ranges, had good feet and a chin of stone. The greatest fighters were not necessarily versatile at all, some were some were not.
Jack Johnson was another. Great feet great punch assortment, defensively as good as the best.Comment

Lewis was great bit his feet were a major liability. He was hit by smaller guys who found a way in. Again lewis was great but ne had a lot of liabiilities including an inconsistant chin.Comment

Okay, last word on this cos I've gotta go to bed.
We've already established I don't have an alt account in this thread. Why? Because I said so. As hard as it may be to take in, I really DID just start slating you because you're a childish, moronic **** with nothing to offer an adult debate.
But what I really gotta say is... "
"... is the peak of generic comebacks.
Kid.... come back to me when you've got more to offer, yeah? I'm getting bored here.Comment
