Still not giving enough credit, as many boxers entertain. Ali was also a warrior, an influencer, a true leader, a man of principle, extremely disciplined, a changer of the game, a psychological genius etc and much more. He's a once in a lifetime legend due to a multitude of reasons beyond "boxing and entertainment"
@@joshc441 i dont think foreman landed any clean shots to head. Ali was perfect style fighter to beat foreman. Ali fought standing straight up moving backward. When george got close ali pushed his head down every time. Watch it. Ali could take his shots by turning head or seeing them coming. Now look at frazier style. His style was perfectly wrong for forman. He d come in w his head down moving forward. And forman just teed off. Easily land uppercut he d never get ali w. Frazier couldn’t push foremans head down like that cause not tall enough. Watch how many times ali was against ropes and pushed his head down so forman couldn’t do anything. He was manhandling him in a way.
@@joshc441 absolutely. But also the way he fights was perfect to beat forman. Ali was great at fighting standing straight up and walking backward while throwing punches. He d lead back and move his head while forman kept going forward throwing bombs every time til he punched himself out. He had nothing left by end. If you ever watch it again. Pay attention to when he was on ropes and foreman got close ali pushed his head down every time. It was driving foreman crazy. And he never adjusted. He kept doing it and ali pushed his head. Down
Anything poorly judged fight. I had Shavers ahead by a round or two. The rigged world of pro boxing. The only other fighter who took it to Ali like in this fight was Smokin' Joe Frazier in their Trilogy. Shavers was probably more tired than hurt. He, like big George Foreman, did not have the stamina for 12 and 15 rounds. He punched with so much power.....
This fight really scared me,, but Ali professionalism stands strong, Ali will always be my champion,, not just for the fights, but for what he stood up for..
This was a very dangerous fight for Ali to take at this point in his career. But what a jaw he had. Unfortunately it probably contributed to his condition.
Shook him but couldn’t take him down. Shavers power worns him out quickly, it takes up his energy, and since shavers kept throwing but Muhammad kept tanking, eventually, shavers would’ve gotten tired to the point where Muhammad Ali could land a combo and finish him the same way he did to foreman. If the fight went on, it could’ve been a knockout by Muhammad Ali on assumably the 14th round Edit: keyword, “could’ve” since it didn’t happened, it could’ve happened, and I mean this as in it should’ve
Obviously he would say that. Tyson humiliated him in front of Muhammad Ali and the world. In less than 4 rounds Iron Mike practically demolished his legacy. That something Shavers and even Ali wasn't able to do. So of course he would say somebody else hits harder than Tyson. Holmes was always a vindictive and petty little man .@@pumarivero9561
Ali was ALWAYS in the moment, he gave Ernie Shavers a shave/head shine with his glove. He was always thinking and bringing light and humor to a volatile situation. That man was something AMAZING in and out the ring. The boxing world has NEVER seen anyone like him since he entered into the boxing world. He was most definitely one of a kind.
Earnie gibi adamlar balyoz gibi tek seferde çiviyi çakacak açı aramakla meşgulken, Ali çekiç gibi yavaş yavaş çiviyi çakmaya 1.roundtan itibaren başlıyor ve eğer balyoz bir kaç round o çiviyi tutturamazsa çivi tarafından sessizce delinmeye başlıyor😂
@@vijayvijay4123ali in his prime would knock out heavyweights going backwards lmfao no other heavyweight does that. Ali would hit the body often during the late 60s.
Али умел создать иллюзию успеха и люди верили этому.он очень много пропускал и за это поплотился здоровьем.ранний паркинсон,ходьба с палочкой....в то время как фрейзер несмотря на кучу травм был очень бодр,а форман вообще в 45 лет вновь стал чемпионом.в бою с форманом у али было сломано 3 ребра,а в 3 бою с фрейзером после гонга он вообще потерял сознание. Иллюзия что ему все непочем,этим он обманул лишь себя став инвалидом
I remember watching this fight live and remembering Ali roaring back like a true warrior with about 20 unanswered brutal blows in the waning seconds with Shavers lurking around the ring like a rag doll.
Shavers knocked out Ken Norton in the first round, he was out. Then Shavers knocked down Holmes twise. Luckily he got up, Holmes, in his peak, was so close to loosing Just shows how incredible Ali was. He not only took so many of Shavers punches but he never went down. Ali, not in his prime still Beat Shavers. Just shows how Great Ali was, compared to even Norton and Holmes If only Holmes had fought Ali in his Prime. Holmes would have got the beating from Ali that he should have got Bless you Ali,you will always be a Legend Rip both Norton and Ali, beautiful fighters
Still majority of people perceive that Ali was exaggerated 😅, as you said ernie shavers beat up or he was on verge of beat up other elite level boxers such as holmes, however Ali who lost his magnificent skills asserted himself against ernie shavers and as if that werent enough Ali was about to destroy shavers in 15th raund . He was absolutely different breed.
I knew Earnie Shavers and he said after that fight that he didn't fight his fight he listened to his corner instead of going after Ali once he was hurt.
Ali took punishment he could of avoided because of his uncanny defensive abilities. The GOAT almost seemed to crave the challenge of getting smashed then coming back like a juggernaut with brilliant boxing mechanics & fury. It is not an opinion, he is the GOAT.
Whether or not that is true we’ll never know. And plus, Ali could take Shavers 100% seriously and the result wouldn’t change much. Ali’s body was already entering later stages of Parkinson’s at this point, really slowing down his movement and reaction time. He wouldn’t be able to dodge Shavers punches even if he wanted to.
@@marcelkoelewijn2248 Ali did not get Parkinson’s from that match. Head trauma does not cause Parkinson’s that is a wide spread misconception. The causes are unknown and certain people just seem to get it later on in life for some unknown reason.
I believe Muhammad Ali was so great in so many things that he did in boxing and of course out of the ring that his most underrated attribute was his chin, all the joking aside the man was seriously tough, RIP 👊
11# unbelievable punches 🥊 👊🏾✊🏾💯 taken right on the mouth and chin i mean right in the face 🫣 and still had the guts courage and wherewithal to win the fight.... I'm a little bit slower just from watching it 😮🫣💥

Mohimad Ali always said in his interviews. Ernie shavers was the hardest hitting heavyweight he's ever faced.
Siempre he pensado que Joe Frassier fue su rival más difícil. Lo puso a balancear cuando estaba en la plenitud de su carrera.

Ali is very underrated for his durability/chin!
Real people know he had one of the greatest chins
It’s criminal how underrated it is, arguably the best considering who he’s taken huge punches from
How old are you? He's KNOWN for having a TITANIUM chin!

While there’s no actual evidence to support Parkinson’s being caused by boxing, but it definitely worsened Muhammad Ali’s condition.

Ernie was rocking Ali with them hits
Ali was a great man ❤
I watched Muhammad Ali fight a thousand times and never saw him throw one body punch😂
Body punches from a distance leave you vulnerable Ali Mostly fights outside
His punches are too weak to cause body damage

At this stage of age, Ali is really amazing. With his fitness to finish the fight with much younger and powerful boxer..
Foreman considered Ron Lyle the hardest hitter. It'd be a toss up between Lyle and Shavers
Ali enjoyed what he was doing inside the ring, and outside the ring, that made him a great champ.🎉🎉🎉🎉
And that's why we call him Champ

I'm pretty sure 90%of Ali's brain damage came from Shavers blows.. 😕😕
That third Frazier fight probably took a huge chunk too..
Sure
Frazier played a huge hand
And Foreman
