Muhammad Ali's name for the boxing strategy he used in the latter part of his career. Ali - most notably in the fight in which he regained the heavyweight title from George Foreman - allowed himself to be used almost as a human punching bag, letting his opponent tire himself into vulnerability. The blows taken by Ali may be the cause of his current Parkinson's Syndrome, and its attendant loss of motor skills and slurred speech.
