        totaly agree, the man has amazing heart as well. As far as foot speed byrd was not really that close to ali. Ali could just look like he was floating no one has even come close and there are not that many who do even outside of the HW divison. Tyson could have been in the neighborhood athleticly but his style would not allow for him to untilze his feet.

            not anything special but he could move very well when he needed to. Don't get me started on Golota though one of the biggest wastes of potiental in boxing history.

                Gene Tunney, probably; but of the modern athletes who obviously tried to immitate Ali's style, Herbie Hyde and Larry Donald come to mind.
