Yes and no. Nothing Ali did was particularly mystical. He just boxed like a middleweight and had the speed of hand and foot to do it. His actual skill came from a guy named Luis Sarria, a Cuban who was the instructor of HOF'ers Jose Napoles and Luis Angel Rodriguez. Though Sarria was a very humble man, and only introduced to anyone as Ali's masseuse. He also was very fond of Willie Pastrano, who was at Dundee's Gym at the same time, but himself was also built by another trainer out of New Orleans. Dundee got all the credit for training, though he didn't build Ali, nor any of those men.
Just wanted to make that clear. Ali's skill came from somewhere, and was applicable in boxing. It had just never been seen in a Heavyweight. Patterson was very fast, but went forward where Ali tended to go backwards.
EDIT: Guess I should say something about the video.
What I'm seeing is a guy who has watched a lot of other youtube videos of people punching correctly, and done a very convoluted job of coming up with a way of uniquely phrasing some basic terminologies to sound as if it's a new and revolutionary discovery. There's a lot of over-explanation going on. This entire video could have been taught to a guy in a gym simply by a trainer saying "keep your torso back, don't lean over the front foot."
