7 heavyweight professional boxers of all time and their fighting styles.

1- Muhammad Ali (61M-56W-5L)

'The Greatest!'

Stance- Orthodox

Style- Out Boxer- An out boxer is known for his/her mobile footwork and strong technique. They tend to maintain a distance from their opponent and hit them with their quick jabs and deadly hooks. Out boxers are not known for their power but they also score big knockouts often.

Who can say that Muhammad Ali is not the greatest? Born as Cassius Clay he later converted to Islam and became Muhammad Ali. Probably the best out boxer who ever lived, his footwork was the best and he had exceptional reflexes to dodge punches. Muhammad Ali was invincible in his prime. His footwork was so quick that the saying 'Float like a Butterfly sting like a Bee' suits perfectly to his boxing style.

Highly technical but at the same time he also had granite chin which he proved on more than one occasion. In his fight against George Foreman, he absorbed numerous deadly punches but did not fall and eventually emerged the winner. His ability to land quick jabs was such many opponents often could not see the punches coming. He was a complete boxer.

Not just a champion inside the ring Muhammad Ali was also a champion of social change. He became a symbol of hope for all the black people who were highly oppressed in that era. He would never compromise on his principles and always took stand for what he thought was right. Muhammad Ali was not just a fighter inside the ring but also outside the ring and he deserves to be called THE GREATEST!
