Muhammad Ali’s Reflexes and Agility
When it came to hand and foot speed for a heavyweight, Muhammad Ali had no equals. “The Greatest of All Time” could dart in and out in a flash without getting hit in return and seamlessly throw six-punch combinations before his hapless opponents could even react.
His uncanny reflexes, perfect timing and amazing footwork allowed him to duck, dodge and lean away from the opponent’s punches. At his best, he was almost impossible to hit with a combination.
And he could time you perfectly with blitzing shots even as he moved backward. We have never seen another heavyweight with this kind of speed, timing and agility before and since Ali.
