Also, Ali's footwork was something special...like how he hit foreman with like ten right jabs...rear punch steps forward and turns into a lead jab...that's karate footwork you know what i mean...just the power generation..sh*t like that is cool to me
Ali hitting Foreman with right hand leads (they weren't jabs - they were crosses) had nothing to do with Karate. He just threw some right hand leads, figuring Foreman wouldn't be looking for them. He was right. Nothing Karate in that, straight boxing.
No match for any 8th level master or TSPK, but he's okay. I wonder what Grandmaster Sensei would think?
GM Sensei CTS...I'm not sure.
GM Sensei Takeshi Ukeno? He's hated Lidell's guts ever since the Tuscogee Throwdown in 1997. He's never forgiven Chuck for the black eye his wife got in the exchange.

yeah i'm aware of that...i'm of the thinking that Ali's other martial art training may have been what made him such a great and unique boxer...does Ali have any texts about his insights to punching while stepping?.
