Contrast that too a gifted counterpuncher like Toney, who's movements were effortless (literally) but could still be just as effective.
Yeah Thats exactly what I'm referring to. Ali had great footwork, he got where he need to go, but because of his flamboyancy and the thought he put inot it it caused him to exert himself.

Yeah pretty much the same idea as the Foreman arguement.
