Power, work rate, punching technique.
I'm not sure how many of Ali's old fight have compubox numbers available, but I seriously, seriously doubt that Evander Holyifeld threw more punches on average than Ali. There is no way.
I don't see any difference in power.
As far as punching technique, Ali had a far superior jab and also threw much better combinations. His style was unorthodox, so maybe that's what you're getting at, but Ali was a far more skilled offensive fighter than Holyfield.



Common P, what are you about?!
Right up till the mid 90's, Holyfield always put his punches together in twos and threes, with plenty of meat behind them and in regards to punching technique, Ali slapped alot of his punches, never mind just the jab.
Holyfields punches were generally tighter and harder.










Actually in regards to power, you must be a blind man typing in brail.

Let me put it this way: i think youd be more likely to see a Prime Holyfield drop Lennox than a prime Ali drop Lennox
The same goes for Bowe, Tyson and any other comparative hypothetical fights you could think of.












P.S dont even bother with the George Foreman comparison because we all know Foreman was gassed by the time he was KO'ed plus he paid much MUCH more attention to his guard as a fat man :P
