Stop Hatin Larry peeps. Larry was screaming at the ref to stop this fight as he was "gonna hurt this man". He felt like shit. This wasnt a victory, this was an embarrasment for both of them.
se posso azzardare, quì cassius clay era ormai andato.L'età conta molto nel pugilato.Sempre quella spavalderia che non ho mai potuto sopportare in mohammed alì di credere di essere sempre il migliore di tutti e poi ecco la fine che fanno gli spavaldi.Riconosco che è il pugile più grande dei tutti i tempi dei massimi.Solo questa spavalderia fino all'ultimo, lo ha reso anche molto antipatico.Io tifavo sempre per norton o frazier oppure the marvellous george foreman proprio per questa sua vanità
With his profound faith in God, Ali went against His will for whatever reason and risked his life in the process. '78 was the fairytale ending and the book should have indeed stayed closed, only to be opened by future generations to marvel at The Greatest, rather than the sad and pathetic way he went out. Anyways, his legacy will remain intact and he will, no doubt, be welcomed with open arms in paradise for his humanity.
Because Tyson beat a washed up Holmes, and Holmes beat a washed up Ali, you think that makes Tyson better than Ali? Do you have any idea how dumb that sounds?
@binary191 Doubt it man. I think a 1967 Ali would whipp him with his fast jab and superior footwork + reflexes. I'd say he might have knocked him out in the late rounds with a right hand lead.. People forget that Ali, in his prime, had some serious power, especially with the combination of speed, the punches landed hard. I think it would be a unanimous decision in favor for Ali, with Ali barely being scratched.
@michaelyouth Yeah Ali's power was amazing in the 60s. Ko'd Liston one shot. Zora Folley a 4 punch combo with the double right hand that could barely be seen. Brian London felt 12 punches in 3 seconds. The jab that knocked down Patterson. He had the perfect combination of speed and power.
Holmes got to see first hand what 38 and in the ring vs a younger champ would mean--vs Tyson. Holmes was a great fighter, but got a couple really close decisions starting with Norton in 78-Witherspoon and Carl the Truth fights could have all gone either way. He was robbed in the Spinks rematch though.
Muhammed Ali is a tard and a draft dodger. Your no american and americans should care very little for someone who fought in our country but didnt fight for it.
@mrkmfranck In all fairness the Vietnam was a joke -50,000 american troops lost their lives in a senseless war-Muhammad Ali made the right decsion for refusing to serve-that is why Nixon ended the war-Muhammad Ali did what he thought in his heart was right -and that took guts also
@curtisjones400 Yes he did. Ali probably would not have had to go to Vietnam since he was a celebrity. They probably would have had him go to Germany or South Korea, and would have continued to fight and make money. He knew that but chose to make a stand anyway for what he believed in. He took a stand for blacks who had little freedoms in the US and even whites who had to die in a senseless war. He sacrificed all his money and the title. Thats a true hero.
wow george forman is so humble , he annihilated joe frazier twice, but he still say it enough for him to be called with santence with frazier , it enough for him, amazing
The Zaire fight was a huge mistake, both in strategy and surroundings. Ali was just bigger than the game. Only he would ever be allowed to fight on the ropes the way he did. Oliver McCall tried it in Lewis II and they tested him for mental illness.
the problem with Ali was he never knew when it time to exit, but also there is mothafucka don king and all the entourage who seduce ali to get in fight, eventhough ali could not even pass pointing his finger to his nose test let alone fight larry holmes at his prime
Larry Holmes was in a no win situation here and I think he was all class. A great champion. 22 straight title defenses. Legendary streak. Ali chose to fight him and Larry accepted of course. He respected Ali and frankly imo held back from really hurting Ali this night - he literally was looking at the ref late in the fight like saying "r u going to stop this fight or what?" Thank God Angelo Dundee stood up to the Ali cronies in his corner and stopped the fight when he did.
@aitraining I think that whole "cocky attitude" Holmes had was a front. I think on the inside he's a softy and a genuinely nice person. He tells it like it is and I thought he had balls challenging Tyson even thougth he knew he would get destroyed. Ironically he was the same age, 38, when he fought Tyson as Ali was when he fought him.
@alexfromiami13 You know that Tyson got knocked out by Buster Douglas right? Buster "Hot dog eatin'" Douglas. Tyson sure did knock out a lot of bums before he went to prison I'll give you that. But he never really beat anybody who had any talent. We never saw Ali's prime, but I would say, prime Tyson vs Ali of 1967 = Tyson gets knocked out in the 8th round.
@ssimon64 Don't bother bro. These Tyson kool-aiders have no clue. KO'd meatballs and was shot at 24. They also forget Buster ko'd his ass before prison then Evander blows Buster away 6 months later in 5 minutes. You man up and Tyson never overcame obstacles many great champion had (changing trainers, promoter, Prison etc). Ali and Foreman were out much longer than Tyson and came back champions. Tyson alone chose to not b prepared. Deal with it "Tyson Marks"! :)
@dosh228 I think Ali was 38 at the time of this fight. It's hard to deny that Ali was the greatest IMO. Heavyweight champ 3 times. 56 wins, 5 losses, three of those losses avenged, the last two occured when he was over the hill against much younger opponents. He was banned from boxing for 3 and a half years during what would have been his prime, yet still had an outstanding career.
There was six years between these 2 guys at the time of this fight, Ali 36 Holmes 30 blame the management the fight was never earlier, i really doubt Ali is the greatest
If there were some kind of time machine built today, and we could match up any great heavyweights against each other, in their primes, this would be near the top of my list.
Holmes vs. the Ali of the second Liston fight! Would be great.....
@The2pacproductionz Stop overrating Ali. He was one of the best, maybe the best of all time but he was no superman. A younger Ali fought Ken Norton 3 times. They were even. Holmes and Norton also had a very even fight. Ali-Holmes could go either way. I'm talking about the 70s Ali.
@panzergrenadier1941 That was not a younger Ali at all in the 70's. Yes I know he was just in his 30's in most of his good fights in the 70's, BUT he was still not in his prime. Not all boxers are able to carry on years and years, and keep a lot of their skill together. The first time Holmes thought he was better then Ali was when he trained with him for the foreman fight in Africa. Holmes thought he was giving him a hard time, but ali was only perfecting his rope a dope.
@tomboy287 yeah man u tell it like it is, ali fought how man opponent like manny pac as to mayweather, twice liston, three times with frazier, first time with floyd patterson, larry holmes ( lost but courge what what count here) and also big kahuna george forman. and this pussy floyd gayweather stiill acting a pussy to even one time with manny pacc, he pee everytime he hear manny pac name. what pussiest boxer of all time
You cant hit what your eyes cant see. Tyson fought aggresively and wild, if u determine the dynamics and geography of the fight u win, and thats how muhammad fought. He fought smart, not hard
Can everyone stop whining about Larry going easy on Ali, the challenger. How many of you people who said this was sad were actually alive to see Ali fight? Larry is a great champion and one who should, but doesn't get the respect he deserves from the boxing community. I challenge anyone to show me a sharper fighter than Larry Holmes or a better jab.
@Starbuck078 Oh sure a guy who wants to eat children is humble yh etc .ps ali has achieved far greater things and is ranked higher than tyson is and im a tyson too u know. also why u being rude for i know i wasn't. Holmes and Ali 2 legends.
@megadmanz just like Tyson he had a big mouth 2 but the cracker isnt boxin anymore in the video now is he and he is stil beatin his chest in the vid "Tyson is no Ali" Greatest Fool off Oll times you mean who had a lucky streak fighting Bums Who fought even bigger bumbs and kept there belt for a While.Mike was a killing machine straight forward going for the kill.Mike vs Ali ...Ali would be dead meat period.
@Starbuck078 tyson can have harder punches . and he can even be more stronger . but im sure his hands cant hit what his eyes cant see . ali is speed , u cant kill what u cant catch .
@Starbuck078 Mike Tyson would break your fucking jaw for even thinking like that. Of course he can still speak... are you that much of an asshole? Ali - never bites ears.... even without his memory. Fucking mark
They were both great figthers. Ali's physique was great for this fight, I really think that the stars were just out of sync this night. Maybe just 3 or 4 years before, ali would have done better, but even still here to me Ali never took a bad beating in any fight 'WELL NOT REALLY" AND DIDNT IN THIS FIGHT EITHER...i MISS THEM BOTH IN THE RING. I really do : ( . .
@53foxer i agree larry holmes is the best and ali was always trying to mocker his enemies before the fight(This is why i dont like him), he was making fun of them like a little girl and thats not box! he almost kill joe frazier in the manila fight!
Tyson would have split Ali..tyson comes in and hits with bad intentions while ali fights while backing away....ali would have been a victim in the ring against IRON mike
@FlashMambaMagic23 Ali robbed himself of his prime. He was lucky to get out when he did. If the FBI had not illegally tapped his phones he would have stayed i prison longer. I always thought it was disgraceful the way Ali portrayed Frazier as the white mans champion after Frazier had stood up for him in prison. I personally saw Ali as a decisive figure in American sports history who didn't know when to quit and is now paying the price
this is not Ali... this is just a tired, old, veteran of boxing. Ali was suffering from muscle pains (and hands too) and sometimes was a little shaky ('cause the effects of the Parkinson Syndrome were beginning in that time). Ali is still the Greatest of All Time! [forgive my English]
u can but wish that these two met in their prime imagine what kinda fight that would be but in my opinioin Ali would have KOed him in the 9th round Ali has a heart of a lion he can take so many punches and still stand of his toe's as if nothing touched him larry holmes on the other hand is a great fighter but once he is hurt his hurt he doesnt take damage as good as Ali was in his prime so i reckon Ali would have tired him out till 9th and fucked him up
i agree with everything ali said. When he quit, a bit of the sport died with his departure. Boxing never was quite the same competitive yet respectful and reputable sport
This fight was obviously over even before the ring announcements had finished. Holmes is sharp and focused of mind and body. Ali is all over the place.
I wonder if having a great jab and being underrated are somehow related. Think about it, Larry Holmes and Lennox Lewis, two best jabs of all time, two most underrated fighters of all time. I'd take a prime Holmes over a prime Ali any day. It's not because Holmes is necessarily better. He just has the stylistic advantage and with the physical tools of Lewis plus his exceptional self-control and boxing IQ, I'd take him at almost any point in his career over anyone and not look back.
A prime Ali would fuck up a prime Larry Holmes? If anything I think Holmes would of beat Ali based on styles & Holmes easily dismantling guys that Ali struggled with & lost to in his prime. We will never know for sure. Either way, certainly two of if not the two greatest heavyweights to ever live.
Can you imagine the vicious, one-sided beating 39 yo Vitali Klitschko would have given to the 38 yo Ali here? Good thing for Ali that he fought his best years in the weaker 70s. He struggled against a half blind heavyweight featherfist like Frazier, and beat a Foreman who was a tactical "dope" and was so badly conditioned that he gassed in the middle rounds after easily punching himself out.
guys prime ali vs prime holmes wouldnt be an ali blowout. im sure in 3 holmes would win 1. ali kills slow aggressive fighters (liston,foreman) and has trouble with nonstop crowding opponents(frazier) but the worst style matchup for him would be a non aggressive heavyweight who boxes. holmes would cause serious problems for ali
@dragonfurp how ali would have major troubles with holmes, to say he wouldnt would be ignorant, nobody is unbeatable and ali isnt a special case,i said ali would win, but to say it would be easy is idiotic, ali is great and so is holmes.
Larry Holmes is the last of the great heavyweight champs. Tyson fizzled out but is the last big name. The problem with Holmes is that he followed Ali. After Holmes its just been a bunch of alphabet champs.
@bluekeet fuck you bluekeet for being ignorant. Holmes was begging the ref to stop the fight. He wouldn't stop it. Also it's easy to look at Ali here and say he's washed up but at the time in Ali's last fight two years previous he had just won the heavyweight title from a young Leon Spinks.
@jmlbloom Fuck you! you ignorant fuck!..........If Holemes really didn't want to hurt Ali he would quit on his stool or block all of Ali's hits and and not hit back, but no he felt he had to beat him up.
@prayforme111 Ali the Racist the Punk the arrogant ass whole? he wasn't racist, the white man came into Africa and took our black brothers and sisters into American made them into slaves thats racism. when we didnt have basic rights such as eat in white restuarant thats racism! The Punk, the guy was the greatest boxer of all time and was so clever a philosopher. Its not arrogant if you can prove your right! he stood up for blk ppl, noone will ever knw cos he was muslim! dont even say racism
Ali! The racist, the punk, the arrogant asshole, backstabbing disgrace getting what he deserved! God bless Frazier and Holmes for beating the crap out of Ali!
This would of been a close fight if they were in their prime. I wouldn't assume Ali would automatically win folks. Frazier was REALLY close to winning 2 of their 3 fights.
good fighters. ali was old, but he was the one who took the match. for people say holmes fought him past his primes. shit, all greats fight other fighters past their primes. marciano, holmes, tyson etc. they all fought fighters past their primes. i always loved holmes. he had the best jab in the buisness.
For me this is hard to watch, not only as a boxing fan who loves muhammad ali, but as a human being, knowing whats happened to this man in later life, really sad. God bless Ali.
@Rockyfan10060 You are Rocky fan, so i expect for you to be a Ali hater. You are extremely jealous of Ali. Why? Is it because he had the HEART OF A LION, and didn't fear no fight? Rocky marciano fought fighters past their prime.So get off of ali's dick you stupid bitch and kill yourself. I see you comment on Ali's other videos too, you are so jealous of him that you hate him and obsessed with him lol..
Why would Ali fight here? It makes me sad, you can tell he was weak and offbeat here. The diseased made him i'll and not the same again, you can tell here. But he haves the HEART OF A LION.. A 32 or younger Ali, he would of fuck Larry Holmes up, and thats fact.
@Impetrate420Justice No doubt about it. ALi in his prime would have done the same thing to Larry Holmes that Mike Tyson did to Larry Holmes. See Holmes vs. Tyson. :)

@jmarra37 You = retard. Larry Holmes would have lost to a prime Ali, no doubt about it. Holmes was young during this fight and in his prime, Ali was 38 years old and way past it.
@41BobDylan You can't say that because no matter what you think or anyone else thinks the fight that should have happened didn't happen. But I will say is this Larry Holmes use to be Ali's sparring partner. That's how Larry got such a super great jab he learned from the best Muhammad Ali. That is the truth.
Stop Hatin Larry peeps. Larry was screaming at the ref to stop this fight as he was "gonna hurt this man". He felt like shit. This wasnt a victory, this was an embarrasment for both of them.

They were both great figthers. Ali's physique was great for this fight, I really think that the stars were just out of sync this night. Maybe just 3 or 4 years before, ali would have done better, but even still here to me Ali never took a bad beating in any fight 'WELL NOT REALLY" AND DIDNT IN THIS FIGHT EITHER...i MISS THEM BOTH IN THE RING. I really do : ( . .

@FlashMambaMagic23 Ali robbed himself of his prime. He was lucky to get out when he did. If the FBI had not illegally tapped his phones he would have stayed i prison longer. I always thought it was disgraceful the way Ali portrayed Frazier as the white mans champion after Frazier had stood up for him in prison. I personally saw Ali as a decisive figure in American sports history who didn't know when to quit and is now paying the price
for his arrogance.

this is not Ali... this is just a tired, old, veteran of boxing. Ali was suffering from muscle pains (and hands too) and sometimes was a little shaky ('cause the effects of the Parkinson Syndrome were beginning in that time). Ali is still the Greatest of All Time! [forgive my English]
Handgun777 6 months ago 51
u can but wish that these two met in their prime imagine what kinda fight that would be but in my opinioin Ali would have KOed him in the 9th round Ali has a heart of a lion he can take so many punches and still stand of his toe's as if nothing touched him larry holmes on the other hand is a great fighter but once he is hurt his hurt he doesnt take damage as good as Ali was in his prime so i reckon Ali would have tired him out till 9th and fucked him up

I wonder if having a great jab and being underrated are somehow related. Think about it, Larry Holmes and Lennox Lewis, two best jabs of all time, two most underrated fighters of all time. I'd take a prime Holmes over a prime Ali any day. It's not because Holmes is necessarily better. He just has the stylistic advantage and with the physical tools of Lewis plus his exceptional self-control and boxing IQ, I'd take him at almost any point in his career over anyone and not look back.

A prime Ali would fuck up a prime Larry Holmes? If anything I think Holmes would of beat Ali based on styles & Holmes easily dismantling guys that Ali struggled with & lost to in his prime. We will never know for sure. Either way, certainly two of if not the two greatest heavyweights to ever live.

Can you imagine the vicious, one-sided beating 39 yo Vitali Klitschko would have given to the 38 yo Ali here? Good thing for Ali that he fought his best years in the weaker 70s. He struggled against a half blind heavyweight featherfist like Frazier, and beat a Foreman who was a tactical "dope" and was so badly conditioned that he gassed in the middle rounds after easily punching himself out.

guys prime ali vs prime holmes wouldnt be an ali blowout. im sure in 3 holmes would win 1. ali kills slow aggressive fighters (liston,foreman) and has trouble with nonstop crowding opponents(frazier) but the worst style matchup for him would be a non aggressive heavyweight who boxes. holmes would cause serious problems for ali
