be quick anytime you move or punch is the only 1 I'd disagree with. Sometimes you have to alter your speed to feint or fake out the opponent. If its always quick everytime you move, it becomes predictable.

Well slow is NEVER good. NEVER. But I too think there is a role for punches thrown at less than 100% power as a tool for setting up those that are thrown at 100% power.

It's always amazed me that he was self taught. He must have been a good teacher to himself because he only lost 5 in the recognized 134 fights he had. Two of the three stoppages at the end of his career when he was a shadow of his formal self. One of his losses tabbed by the press. A hundred stoppages on his ledger. If one includes his booth fights, he probably fought well over 400 times. Biggest puncher in the history of the sport imo regardless of weight.

Yup. I mean how the hell does one end up self-taught and rarely lose? Crazy.
