IVE HAVE NEVER ADMIRED ANYONE MORE THAN MY GRANDPARENTS..IN 1964 AT THE AGE OF 9 MY GRANDFATHER SAT ME DOWN TO WATCH MUHAMMAD ALI. AND I THEN HAD MY SECOND HERO... I WAS GRATEFUL I GOT GOT TO SEE HIS WHOLE CAREER.EVEN THOUGH I WISH HE HAD RETIRED EARLIER ... I WAS SAD WHEN ALI PASSED AWAY.AND I STILL WATCH HIS FIGHTS..TO ME HE WILL ALWAYS BE "THE GREATEST" RIP CHAMP❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That are many many who feel this way, however, the powers that be want US to FORGET This man. Because he symbolized morality & up rightness, while they practice Deceit!!!
As a 45 year old in 2024, I feel the same way about Tyson, even though he’s still alive. I grew up through the 80s and 90s watching his fights and it just has such sentimental and nostalgic value watching the old matches. I hated when he lost to Douglas bc everyone knew he was better than him, but just didn’t take the fight seriously. At least Holyfield and Lewis were the best and better than Tyson at the time, although I think prime Mike beats them both. But Buster Douglas? Come on. Looked like he didn’t even train for that fight bc he was so cocky and he even said he partied all night the night before with Bobby Brown doing coke and shit saying he didn’t need sleep to beat Douglas. He even said he didn’t need to train or even sleep for 5 days before the fight and still beat him. Lol. Well he was wrong and unnecessarily put a huge damper on his career from being so cocky. He wouldn’t have lost a fight until years later when he fought Holyfield. He truly was the best of my generation. Maybe not as good as Ali, but we will never really know bc their careers never crossed paths. Ali probably would’ve danced around him and used his height and beat him though. Would’ve been a great fight to watch though.
here is a man who popularised boxing and proved his nobility by giving every challenger a shot at the title belt. Those 2 and halve years of exile from the sport still remains the lost years of world boxing. Ali is the greatest athlete ever.
Wow man i can look at the Foreman fight ANY minute of the day.... I've seen it soo many times now and it still gives me the Goose bumps!!! Rest in Peace great man❤❤🙏
That's one of the reasons why I love Ali so much!! They accused him of being a draft dodger, but he didn't dodge the draft he stood flat-footed in the United States of America and refused to go kill other poor people that never did anything to him!! A real draft dodger is a person who leaves the United States and hides.. I admire his bravery and his convictions..
It is bullshit that the best years of Ali's career was never seen in the ring as Ali was smart & knew he stood no chance of going to war but was showing other Americans a way out of war by claiming to be muslim & paid the cost by teaching others how not go to a pointless war legally which is very admirable as I have heard him put down because of not joining the draft but those people making these assumptions fail to realize he was teaching others how to stay alive from a war that was idiotic in the first place as most people did not know this loophole he could preach on tv because of his icon status & I find it awesome that he was looking out for other people who didn't realize there was a third option as I don't think he thought they would ever put him in war because of his prestige as the GOAT but did for the common man by preaching his knowledge about a way out of the draft
@Dr.Dark1331 That just goes to show that many of you just don't get it! Listen I'm 68 years of age & had the opportunity to actually meet Muhammad Ali. Now, in 1967 , cause I'm a "Die hart' Ali fan.1967 he was stripped of his title you want talk about a fighter that was perfect, His last fight that year was against a opponent named Zora Folly, on march 22 1967 - Oct 26th Jerry Quarry! Now you need to know both of these fighters today would be world of champions. Although Ali disposed of both very easy. I really Don't BELIEVE you realize how GREAT MUHAMMAD ALI truly was,in 1966 (but Nov. 4th )the best I've seen of Ali & his skills was against CLEVELAND WILLIAMS.OH! MY GOD,! WATCH THAT fight he knocks mr.williams down backing up! You will never see this in today's boxing, And to have him be stripped of his title 15 mths. Later , YES they were beyond racists, if you want to believe that they just took his title because he didn't join the armed forces. That's possible,however, he was so damn good you had to be here ,a lot was happening.And Ali was so vocal about things, you must understand he was almost perfect in that ring, & out of it as well. He's the best road model I've ever met. And he didn't have any flaws.He spent time in jail , not for not going to the armed forces, but for driving without a license. 5- 10 days if I'm correct! That's something that's hidden, however I can remember it like it was yesterday.Those 3 1/2 years we're his paramount without a doubt, & the POWERS THAT BE , took strong advantage of it.When he returned he still was better than every one else, but you could see a slight very slight difference.This is why we say, those years were taken from him intentionally.YOU THINK FLOYD MAYWEATHER was something you had to be here during his time.There will never be another "Greatest fighter that possess the skill set of "MUHAMMAD ALI" THAT ALI SHUFFLE is so difficult to do.Try it, then imagine doing it when you about to unload a fury or barrage of punches. That is what the GREATEST MUHAMMAD ALI did, along with his poetry 😄!
People can say what they want, but Ali is the reason that fighters sell fights the way they do these days. Promoting a fight used to be a straightforward thing where the fighters gave their honest opinion on the strengths and weaknesses of their opponent, but Ali brought trash talk and flamboyance into the picture. No telling how much money he made future generations because of his pioneering vision
The years that they took from Ali, because of the draft,was his Best years! ( We wiil never see the paramount of t he GREATEST, BECAUSE they took his BOXING license,so he wouldn't be able to fight.
One of the most brilliant training methods Ali employed was his practice of running backward for miles and miles. Given the nature of his fighting style, and the fact that he was a back foot fighter who employed lots of lateral and backwards movement as the foundation for his superb jab, this training technique was probably one of the most effective things he could’ve done to enhance his style.
Ikr Liston looks and sounds like he's a senior citizen in that footage. His energy has old timer written all over it. Btw The fact it took so late into his age for someone to finally beat him and it was to another great who was like half his age.... Liston should really be considered one of the greatest heavyweights ever
Ali did carry him but this is boxing a sport that was controled by crime org. and ali did what he had to do I'd like all the critics, in them days to do it the things they put on Ali rediculus it's do easy to criticize when your not in the ring so I see it and so do others Who arent blind and foolish enough to let us see thier lack of reality. I seen these fights many years later but still it is what it is!
That episode on wide world of SPORTS,when Ali & Frazier & Howard Cosell ,was "REAL"! JOE maY have won that 1st fight however ,Joe was taken to the Hospital for a month,while Ali went only for a few minutes.True STORY,.
If you listen to Howard cosell before the George Foreman vs Ali fight in "ZAIRE" THE CONGO ,AFRICA, you would have 🤔 thought Ali was going to lose big time.Wrong Ali wins by 8th rd.stoppage.
They took that from two diferent fights. The first fight Ali was over 220 maybe 224. The 2nd fight he was 212 and talking about 216 how he feels. Last Norton fight in 1976 Ali was 221vs Norton 217. Ali was on his way down hill by the beging of 1976 until death!
Don't believe that lie Liston didn't take no dive,Liston couldn't even dream that he could beat Ali,that was proven in that 1st fight down in Miami before when he was name Cassius Clay,Ali was entirely too fast for Liston,, Liston corner man started playing dirty pool by putting substance on liston gloves to get in clay's eyes ,Ali fought that whole 5th round blind and Liston still couldn't hurt him,he still got his ass whipped,so what chance Liston had of defeating Ali,none! ,Liston was fighting for a payday, not evening dreaming of winning,truth be known Liston was afraid of Ali on the down low,quit propagating this lie that Liston took a dive because his family was threatened by the mob,the mob already knew liston couldn't beat him, because they saw that ass whipping liston took in Miami and he wasn't able to continue,no need to fix, just place the bet,the reason that people thought it was a fix because they didn't that Ali hit Liston hard enough to knock him out,when the flim was slowed up you can see the whole side of liston head rippled,there was reporters ring side saw it and reported it,Liston went along with this lie and he added to the lie cuz he wanted to maintain his tough guy image,
It’s been thoroughly PROVEN. Liston was hurt bad after Ali cracked him!! Naturally he went down like ALL the rest!! RIP -🪦- -Respect Is Paid to the Kings of the Ring (🥊) Sonny Liston & Muhammad Ali ✌️
Let's not forget liston had an injury to his arm in fight No1, he couldn't continue, I believe fight No2 was fixed in ali's favour, yeah I know you heard it all before, sonny had no other opinions, liston was as "Hard as Nails" that little powder puff punch wasn't a KO delivery.
@@md4933 man i didn't hear nothing,I was around doing that time ,Ali nail his ass ,he was tough as nails until he fought the greatest of all time, he couldn't handle all that foot speed in and out movement,, razor sharp lefts and rights,,Ali 6'3 , Liston 6'0 ,there was 2 other fighters weren't afraid of liston ,Eddie Machen, liston corner men played dirty pool there was a substain put on his gloves and it blind him to some degree,cause Eddie to lose the fight, Leodist Martin knock liston out in 1968,liston was a powerful fighter ,he would break your ribbs put your career on hold ,but if you were not gripped with fear and you knew what you were doing he was beatable,Eddie Machen was a season crafty slick fighter the only way liston beat him ,what i previously stated played dirty pool,so don't buy this crap that liston took a dive,he got his ass whipped,
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 You got it wrong. Ali was ENTERTAINING af!!!😂✌️He was “promoting” hoping to be granted a fight wit the Champ (Liston)!! It worked, they fought and the masses came out!!! It’s not “disrespect” it’s pure unadulterated entertainment!!! ✌️ Respect 🫡

His speed for a heavyweight was otherworldly. There are no comparisons. Truly a one of one

It's a classic, and those of yesteryear, aren't here, or you would have More likes in your column for your true statement.
Ali was a intelligent scientific boxer!! The best to ever do it!!
What boxer you know, stand's up to the US Government,and speaks as Strong as the way you heard him speak.! Brilliance!!!!
That's one of the reasons why I love Ali so much!!

You've said a mouth full, and you are precisely correct. Absolutely!!!!
thats what im thinking too
This is the best RUclips boxing documentary I’ve seen
The real GOAT
Tyson would have destroyed him
Still The Greatest of all time Muhammad Ali❤
The years that they took from Ali, because of the draft,was his Best years! ( We wiil never see the paramount of t he GREATEST, BECAUSE they took his BOXING license,so he wouldn't be able to fight.
Mohamed Ali champ 😊bro i love you
Look at how Johnny hit him after Ali said WHAT HE SAYS!!!! 💕
Ali is hilarious! What a total package fighter hahaha
I wish people can see this 3000 years from now, what is it that makes a man like him?
I love you Ali
I. Love you champ
He talked trash to his opponent, and loved them all at the same time.
Chuck Wepner - wow - 15 rounds with Ali - Chuck Wepner was the actual "Rocky" character that Stallone used as a model for the movie !
One of the most brilliant training methods Ali employed was his practice of running backward for miles and miles.
Given the nature of his fighting style, and the fact that he was a back foot fighter who employed lots of lateral and backwards movement as the foundation for his superb jab, this training technique was probably one of the most effective things he could’ve done to enhance his style.
5:57 Ali had him so shook, he got it twisted and said people would have to be a fool to bet on him. 😂😂😂
Ikr Liston looks and sounds like he's a senior citizen in that footage. His energy has old timer written all over it. Btw The fact it took so late into his age for someone to finally beat him and it was to another great who was like half his age.... Liston should really be considered one of the greatest heavyweights ever
علی روح یک پروانه❤❤
13:29 It’s crazy how this video states that as a fact. In reality, Ali caught him with a great counter that caught him off guard.
Ali fighting Holmes was a travesty. The people around him should have stepped in. How was he even granted a boxing license?
I love you chamo
Ali must’ve wrecked Cooper’s eye in the first fight, because it busted open just like the first time.
Ali did carry him but this is boxing a sport that was controled by crime org. and ali did what he had to do I'd like all the critics, in them days to do it the things they put on Ali rediculus it's do easy to criticize when your not in the ring so I see it and so do others
Who arent blind and foolish enough to let us see thier lack of reality. I seen these fights many years later but still it is what it is!
Beuittiffull knock down
Which one?
That episode on wide world of SPORTS,when Ali & Frazier & Howard Cosell ,was "REAL"! JOE maY have won that 1st fight however ,Joe was taken to the Hospital for a month,while Ali went only for a few minutes.True STORY,.
Take the music score out so we can hear what he’s saying…
Me too
If you listen to Howard cosell before the George Foreman vs Ali fight in "ZAIRE" THE CONGO ,AFRICA, you would have 🤔 thought Ali was going to lose big time.Wrong Ali wins by 8th rd.stoppage.
31🎉
1.01.30 I can't believe Ali is over 10lbs heavier than Norton
They took that from two diferent fights. The first fight Ali was over 220 maybe 224. The 2nd fight he was 212 and talking about 216 how he feels. Last Norton fight in 1976 Ali was 221vs Norton 217. Ali was on his way down hill by the beging of 1976 until death!
Ali committed multiple fouls in fights because he never went to the neutral corner when he puts his man down.
Hey science of boxing, how about doing this documentary without that stupid music!!!
ı did that a while ago.I dont use that mostly these days.
I agree 100%! Great documentary, but all that piano music practically ruins it.
The music is terrible,and the computer is speaker is lieing.Sonny Liston was underrated, he would beat anyone in todays boxing without a doubt!!!!

19:35 “… when Cleveland Williams finally came to his moment…”👂🏼😐😑😡🤬
Talk about leaving you hanging.
For heavens sake, PLEASE lose the over-loud and pathetic piano music!
That bs music makes all those stolen clips unwatchable
Thank you, best Regards from Poland 🇵🇱✝️
God awful piano music.
Absolutely. Great documentary, but it's basically ruined with all of those terrible piano riffs going all the way through.
This is some absolute ai bullshit
Ali the pre mayweather loser. Wish he had fought tyson or lennox lewis. Both would have absolutely killed him. Hes a joke at best
