During his prime, the 6'3", 215 lbs heavyweight possessed the moving
abilities and reflexes of a welterweight. He was hard to catch, he could
move, he could dodge punches, he was fast and he was slick.
Later on in his career during his fights with Foreman and Frazier, those abilities were taken over by his iron chin, which became his most-used tool for defense. Still no one can forget his young days and the many times he made opponents look amateurish in the ring.
Who can forget his flashy days of "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"? There is no doubt that when at its best, Ali's defense was a thing of beauty.
