I feel like taller fighters usually end up being head hunters

the greatest boxer of all time never threw a body shot

Muhammad Ali - almost every punch he threw was to the head! Watch footage of his fights: it was extremely rare for him to throw a punch to the body. Truly exceptional. Just about every other great fighter would throw at least some body punches, but not Ali.
Anyone disagree?
