Ali's legacy had he retired after beating Foreman

[Master]

Have you ever noticed that most light punchers are fair body punchers? Retired fighters have always alluded to the fact that it is more merciful to be defeated early by a heavy handed puncher than round after round by a medium to light powered boxer puncher. He is not in there to get hurt but he has to gain respect and if your missing and frustrated it only gives him the opportunity to strike again and again thus his hand is up after the tally. Light punchers work on their skill but there are the few that are lucky like Leon who was exposed by the old man in their rematch. As Ali said, you borrowed my crown and now I have it back. Ali was not a heavy puncher but his judgement in fighting Holmes who was a better puncher with speed than the others out there was piss poor. The rest has been debated to death.

Sweat Pea was a very good body puncher so you are right.

I almost forgot about Sweet Pea because the words Defense Master doesn't quite describe his monster skill. The Cuban found out not to make Sweet Pea mad either. He had a punch hidden in his arsenal too. He was fun!

Sweat Pea was losing that fight so had to go for it. It was a brutal knockout.

Ali was not known as a body puncher.
