    Starting at 1:35 mark of the video.

    "Stick & move, stay out of range"

    "Stick him with left jabs and right crosses, tie him up and box him"

    "I'm not a hard puncher, I'm not known for being a hard puncher"

    "Boxing ability, speed & whooping him on points. Go the distance if neccessary"

    IJS. There's another boxer that does all these same things but gets bashed for his style.

    Speak on it boxingscene.

      Ali stopped Liston twice, KO'd Foreman, knocked out Floyd Patterson twice and stopped Frazier in the Thrilla in Manilla.

      "The Thrilla in Manilla" and "The Rumble in the Jungle" are part of the culture of the world and look how Ali performed in those fights. Floyd takes about 1/10th of the risk Ali does.

        Hahaha. Ali used to predict what round he'd stop an opponent. Then he'd do it.

            Ali was hated too back then. If he was an active fighter today with social media it would be 10x worse.

            He would be a boring, runner, clincher racist.


            That's why I say wait 5-10 years. At that time Floyd will be looked at in a totally different light. Look at Sweet Pea. He's called a master boxer and appears on every ATG list. When he was an active fighter? Oh nooo. He was a boring, clown who they couldn't wait to fall off the top.

              Ali is great because:

              -- Huge social significance
              -- Comebacks

              He was one of the greatest talents, but he had these additional qualities that put him over the top, along with his personality. He actually had a sense of humor about himself also.

              Floyd is great, but he's not the best of all time. Too many others: SRR, SRL, Duran, Armstrong, Ali, many great fighters who actually beat people up.

              Ali beat people's asses. Floyd hasn't done that in a million years.

                  The thread is obviously about floyd .

                  Ppl accuse floyd of being a "coward" and "running" and "hugging". Then act like they love ali , when alis whole style was footwork or and staying out of range. When someone got close he clinched too.

                  If someone uses this style today they are hated
