Yeah he did have good timing. Maybe a very good sense of range too? Should have used the jab more often.
Yeah I thought he neglected it in the 3rd Ali fight, I remember him doing a lot more with it in the first one.
He would absolutely KILL guys who didn't have good head movement with his jab. In the Jerry Quarry fight (which was one of the most brutal beat downs in HW history) his jab was fantastic.
He had good head movement as well, was deceptive with it. Could bait and could dissuade all by the position of his head.
Completely froze in this regard against Foreman though, was too scared to try anything subtle or cunning and paid dearly.
