The Five Laws of Muhammad Ali PART 1 (documentary)

[truthhitmanisback]

Muhammad Ali proved he is the greatest !!!!

[TheBestBoxingGame]

Why are all the mma and bruce lee nutcases coming here ?

[90038jhon]

I come to youtube to watch classic sports, and I get a bunch of rambling, incoherent comments. All of which are mis spelled, and the facts are always wrong. Who is posting this garbage ?

[Noorntx]

can we quit the mma vs boxing stuff in here and just enjoy the vid

[Pilky01Alright]

i always heard he didnt come out for the 8th round. this says he didnt come out for the 7th. anyone know for sure?

[stomperfood]

tyson was the greatest fighter ever. Ali was the greatest athlete ever.

[KashifCrip]

@stomperfood How can tyson be the Greatest fighter ever if he lost all of his greatest fights??

[The1cristi]

good work

[Jsavolainen]

Would you fight Foreman? No, so you would not want to fight Ali, he would humiliate you.

[crawhip7]

Who is Ali fighting or delivering the stingy left jab to at 1:22 sec? Looks like He's fighting henry Cooper.

[kaluski]

@crawhip7...yeah. That's henry cooper.

[MrShinmaru]

taekwondo legs

[born2fight99]

Pretty interesting i was reading the ali bio book and he was saying his ring persona was mostly for show, to sell tickets. A technique he aquired from a pro wrestler he liked when he was little! The book is "Soul of a butterflty"

[mfergy514]

Gorgeous George!!

[shadesparty]

@born2fight99 I think you mean the wrestler "Gorgeous George". He was a bragging loudmouth and very much hated. Therefore people paid money to see his butt being kicked. So he drew a lot of people to the stadium. He advised Ali to become a bragging loudmouth as well.

[5800LOL1]

Fly like a butter fly sting like a bee :D

[samstterhamstteer]

lol its move like a butterfly

[mfergy514]

it's actually FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY

[samstterhamstteer]

well i was a little closer then fly ,lol

[mfergy514]

Absolutely ! I'll give you that !! LOL

[SA2137]

joe louis challenged ali , but ali wouldn't fight him . Why because he was scared.

[mitchyo11]

What are you on about? Ali came decades after Louis .Louis was old and a shell of his great self in 1951 when he was knocked out by Marciano. Ali won the title in 1963 and was the ruler for the majority of the 60's and 70's of heavyweight boxing. Louis would have been in his fourties or fifty's if he fought Ali.

[Manormaniac]

Joe Louis was born 1914, so he was far too old for boxing in 1960-70, old grandpa nothing else against any boxer at the time Ali was in his prime;)

[onlyjoetee]

A boxer without hand speed is nothing...

[Dukey9290]

bruce lee brought a hole new style to the chinese culture of martial arts, he was way ahead of his time. he created his own style for fuck sake.

he is an absolute legend and anyone who disagree's is just one of those people who have nothing better to do than give their shit opinion on something they know their wrong about for the sake of an arguement because their just shallow, end of story.

[Manormaniac]

Yes Bruce Lee was a great and weel known businessman, an actress and he created his own martial art style, However, Bruce Lee won only one competition that was a Hongkong za za dancing competition...

Some men really DO things the others just talk. Bruce could talk the talk but could he walk the walk ... never.

[lumpagogo]

@Manormaniac

You should have asked Bruce Lee that question before 1973. You wouldn't be here to talk about it.

[Blackjesus3]

@Manormaniac actress? ur calling bruce lee a actress wtf he wasnt a woman

[borninthe90sdecade]

only for show, because a real fight is quick and faster

[AngryScotProductions]

penis cats

[awwwwnaaaa]

truly a great fighter, but i think mike tysons antics were more fun to watch.

[StraightOuttaDC]

Five laws of Muhammad Ali? Quite simple.

1) See rule two.

2) See rule three.

3) Call me "Muhammad Ali", bastard.

4) See rule three.

5) See rule four.

[Manormaniac]

If somebody is a real fighter he always has proof and evidence of that.

In martial arts or combat sport the official record of bouts is only reliable evidence or proof. Even I could say Im a martial art master because I had few bouts years ago and since then I have been trainer and manager of a boxing and kickboxing/thaiboxing club, and I keep myself in shape.

In the REAL world im nobody because I do not have that kind of record like Jomhod, Muhammed Ali or other REAL champions :)

[Manormaniac]

Check this at youtube Jomhod Kiatadisak Highlight. He lives in Finland, and he won 12 world champion belts in thaiboxing but didn't reach even the national mid level in boxing or kickboxing. Everybody who knows anything about boxing, kickboxing and thaiboxing in Finland knows him. He is a very hard and dangerous man if irritated or in fight thats a fact anybody knows. Anyway there is harder and heavier fighters even in Finland, for example one who won EM belt in pro heavy weight in kickboxing.

[Manormaniac]

That's a fact and that's the way it really goes. I don't disagree: "Strength? lol. It's simple fucking science. Lee was about the weight of a welter weight. Ali was a heavyweight. Not only does Ali have more muscle and weight than Lee, but a bigger skeleton. Skeleton is one of the key factors affecting punching power, things like leverage and hand size are determined by it. They all affect power. I can't be arsed argueing who'd win but the facts are lee was faster, ali was stronger."

[borninthe90sdecade]

bruce lee is a very strong man i think you underestimate how strong he really is and it has been said that ali wasnt a very strong puncher he was just fast and because of the speed his punches were combos and flurrys that always or most of the time hit his opponent but if he was boxing with lee he wouldnt of hit him. lee is very powerful and im sticking to my opinion

[x19xsmgx89x]

ok your opinion is bullshit because its not even about how strong bruce is because the FACT that alis hits are stronger then bruce is because ali has alot more weight to put behind his hits which by it self makes his punches stronger then bruce and its not opinion its fact bruce was only 130 or so and ali was about 220 or more do the math the more weight behind your hits the stronger they are ali was just as strong as bruce and had all that weight behind him so your argument is pointless..

[borninthe90sdecade]

no thats not true, its to do with how strong your bones are and how strong your muscles are. for example i have a friend that is slimmer than me and is smaller than me but he still manages to generate more power and enery into his punches and every time he punches or kickes me it feels like a wave crashing in to me and the reason for that is because his bones are way stronger and harder than mine are. it has got nothing to do with how big you are though size can sometimes help.

[x19xsmgx89x]

what you say is true but it does not make what i say false they are all contributing factors and what I'm saying is that weight despite the others is still a big factor for example some one can through a 30 pound weight at you with force and it will hurt like hell but if they put the same force into a 100 pound weight even though they cant through it as hard its still gonna hurt alot worse weight is a big factor in boxing thats why we have weight classes you cant put a 130 in with a 220 its fact

[Manormaniac]

How hard the punch is depends many factors. Between those WHO CAN HIT like boxers&kickboxers the weight is most important, that's why those weight classes. To get most of weight behind the punch start keeping foot on the ground, pushing with feet,leg, thight, hip, back, abdominal, upper limb muscles need a lot of training. Speed is always one factor. Long extremities make punch hard coz fist reach high velocity during long way to the target. Accuracy & timing are important too. Ali got that all.

[x19xsmgx89x]

umm that was my point and i already know all this i am a boxer myself so thats nothing new to me you just told me every thing i already know and yes ali did have all that bruce would never stand a chance in a normal boxing match now in an all out fight bruce MIGHT have a chance because he is better trained with the rest of his body and would have more weapons

[Manormaniac]

Understand you know those things. People who doesn't know what is hitting hard seems to believe it's all about strength of upper limb;) Watched Lee hitting a boxing bag I realized Lee can't punch at all. Watched his kicks I realized he can't kick at all. Kicking is like punching, power comes from the body. Lee is an actor, he couldn't win any real fighter in contact fight, couldn't reach even me and NEVER A REAL CHAMPION before get koed;) I see every day men who does everything better than Lee.

[x19xsmgx89x]

i do agree with you some what but i also dont think you are giving bruce full credit for what he did he was labeled king of kung-fu for a reason but yes he was not to experience with actual combat at least not professionally and yes he was an actor as well but when he first got into matial arts he never meant for it to get mixed into his movies and he has trained a few decent fighters so atleast give him some credit man he deserves that much

[Manormaniac]

You're right. Bruce Lee brought kung fu familiar to the whole world. He did that with movies, he is one of the best known man on the Earth, and he is in "Kung Fu and martial arts Fall of Fame" - that's a credit he earned. He is not The Champion of all every combat sports in all times and there never will be any;) Journalists around the world write lists of all time athletes, none of those lists are similar and for ever. Only God is omnipotent, but we have many religions and gods too;)

[x19xsmgx89x]

yeah and if you think about it he is the reason we have as many great fighters as we do today...do i think he was one of the best, no not really but do i think he did good for the world of martial arts yes like you said he brought it known to the world alot of great fighters had him as an idol and yes i agree with you there will never be a champion of all time but all i'm saying is he was a great inspiration for many in the martial arts world and that alone makes him great champion or not

[Manormaniac]

Yes, exactly. Also Muhammed Ali and all great champions make a huge peak around the boxing gyms. Many young boy started after they saw Alis fights. I remember that almost all 10-13 years old boys who start boxing school tried to be like Ali keeping hands low and trying to "dance": We have to work hard get them stop that: "feets on the ground and hands up to the chin or you will be koed imminately!".

The style of a The Greatest is quite dangerous for beginners lol

[x19xsmgx89x]

yes lol i see alot of beginners coming into the gym trying to be like ali but what they don't get is not many people can pull that style off and get away with it and defiantly not a beginner we teach to keep your hands up at your temples not to far away from your head or else your opponent is just gonna hit your hands into your own face i actually had that happen to me when i first started and didn't know what i was doing lol but yeah as far as boxing goes ali is the greatest in my eyes

[Manormaniac]

Only few men in the ring can fight with hands dangerously low and move like Ali did. I've seen few world top class boxers and many times Ayub Kalule at the gym, the one who fought once against Sugar Ray Leonard but lost. He moved like a ghost, nobody neither heard his steps nor could predict where he was moving. He easily fooled the best Finnish boxer, an amateur EM Champion in the ring. Finn couldn't even get near him but got beaten badly;) He was amazing but ever won the world title.

[rafael1alanis]

another little pussy talking shit. man, shut the fuck up, seeing what you say makes me see that you don't know anything about fighting. bitch, get the fuck out of here or ill knock the ugly out of you

[VajNengYang]

your saying that he dont know how to punch or kick because of how u saw it but you never been in a fight with him. he would tare all these mma fighters apart. bruce lee only did movies to expand martial arts. he was fighting first. He was never specialized in a style because his style was to fight. to win a fight in any way. he wud even punch ur nuts if he had to win the fight. thats why he wudnt be able to fight pro fighters. sports have too much rules thats why it will never be 100% real.

[Nosveractu]

@VajNengYang Your comments on Bruce Lee cant be verufued as it has been established that there is no evidence to prove that bruce lee ever fought in competitions or that he was ever an established fighter, Chuck Norris for example or Jean Claude van dam are established competition fighters there is evidence of this. As for a boxer vs an MMA or UFC fighter it is highly unlikley a boxer would win due to the restrictions of their own training as a boxer.

[VajNengYang]

@Nosveractu its obvious that a boxer would lose to a mma fighter no doubt. the comments i made on bruce lee cant bee verified.. but then again..no one can say bruce lee would lose or that he was not good. people ignorantly saying that he had no correct form? bruce lee's objective in fighting was to connect as fast and powerful within the time his reflexes tell him to. his style was to be formless and unlimited.. as he said.. if he had to in a fight he would poke the eyes or hit the balls.

[ultraforge1]

@VajNengYang The last time a champion Boxer (Toney) fought a champion MMA fighter (Couture) in an MMA match, he didn't even get ONE PUNCH OFF. Not a single punch. It was hard to watch.

Seriously man, I love boxing. Boxing is my first love.... but we are shown again and again, over and over that one dimensional fighters get destroyed in MMA. I am not an MMA fanboy... but I am a realist.

[antihostile]

@ultraforge1

You're fooling yourself. Let's see ANY MMA fighter get into the ring with Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather or Juan Manuel Márquez and fight according to boxing rules. They wouldn't last three rounds let alone fifteen!

[ultraforge1]

@antihostile . You are correct, but that doesn't change my point. In a fight with boxing rules, the champion boxer wins almost every time. In an MMA fight, the MMA champion wins almost every time. I never claimed that an MMA fighter is superior in the sport of boxing, only that the pure-boxer is is inferior in the sport of MMA. Those two things are mutually exclusive.

[VajNengYang]

@ultraforge1 I know..i never said boxing was gonna beat mma... my comment was on bruce lee.. you cant say that a mma fighter can beat bruce lee... bruce lee was never in a ufc like competition.. his philosophy in fighting was not limited by rules and regulations like these combat sports like ufc k1 boxing.. etc.

[PSNDMII]

@VajNengYang

Bruce lee is known to be able to punch someone in such a way the opponent goes flying back.

You must remember Bruce lee was taught by the last ninja (Some sort of special martial artist, hardly known anymore I think) And bruce lee did eventually went on to create his own martial arts. But remember that ali was taught a special punch by allegedly the same man who taught Lee...

[VajNengYang]

@PSNDMII what does this have to do with anything?

[carmodifire]

@PSNDMII It was Jhoon Rhee, and Ali learned it laterin the 70's, not during his peak years in the late 60's. But yeah.

[PSNDMII]

@carmodifire

I don't think it was Jhoon Rhee, because I remember seeing a show on martial arts, and this guy exploring, the guy I saw had a beard, was about 5ft 3-4ish and was really quick, (Able to dodge wooden sword attacks, where as the journalist got a very bruised shoulder :P)

[carmodifire]

@PSNDMII Oh. Because Rhee is the only martial artist I know that worked with Ali.

[rafael1alanis]

what the fuck are you talking about bruce might have a chance?

a punch or a kick changes everything..what if a guy is losing, and suddenly he throws a punch and connects perfect, he won the fight. and im not even going to compare ali with bruce lee. thats just not possible

[x19xsmgx89x]

but that was my point he was saying ali bruce would win in a normal boxing match but THATS just not possible bruce lee was what? like 130 lbs lol im sorry but hed be knocked out plus its not like ali was to slow to catch him in a boxing ring he had the speed of a light weight yes out side the ring bruce lee would have won because he is highly trained in street fighting which has no rules where ali was only trained for fighting as a sport and like i said earlier this is a dumb comparison anyways

[VajNengYang]

Are you serious. Chuck norris was a pro fighter and he even said bruce lee was great. just becuz he didnt fight professionally dont mean shit. Bruce lee mastered wing chun and profected the style making his own. bruce wudnt win in a sport with rules and regulations of course..but i bet u in a real fight he wud kill a pro athlete. give bruce lee credit man. he wasnt and actor before a fighter. he was always a fighter. too sad he died before he cudve shown the world wat he cudve been.

[Manormaniac]

Light weight, welter weight, middle weight and fly weight boxers are always faster than heavy weights. No light weight boxer has ever won a heavy weight man, small and light man would be killed by a heavy weight boxer, and that's why there is those weight classes. Big men win small men always and ain't that go without saying, that's a fact.

[Manormaniac]

Speed of a punch does not tell much. I know that very well coz im a boxer. I am fast powerful in a very good shape and I hit very very hard. Nevertheless im not national champion even Im stronger, faster and far better shape that the national champion. A master class boxer need a lot more skills and the most important is the "sense" of the game in the ring. Champion does not always to be fast to hit the target, timing and that "sense" can overriden any physical qualities.

[Manormaniac]

Ali was in light heavyweight at age 18 when he won the Olympics... Usually all ordinary men and especially athletes gain weight because their muscles grow bigger. Ali is 6 ft 3" tall, over 1,9 metres. If you look at the pictures of Ali (Cassius Clay at that time) when he was kid or 18 year old he was like other young athletes quite skinny, but he got much more muscles in next 10 to 15 years ;)

[falseistrue]

ALI was a blown up LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT thats why he moved quicker than REAL heavyweights..!!

[Manormaniac]

Bruce Lee? WTF??? You joking pals... Neither Bruce Lee nor other movie-fighters are not real just fairy tales, everything done with movie-tricks. There is no karate-, kung fu-, or other budo-"fighters" that really could do harm to ANY good boxer. Boxing Champion are REAL, they hit hard in the REAL WORLD. Ali and the other REAL fighters would knock out ALL budo-champions before they blink eyes or get close enough to do anything :)

Im a boxer and have knocked out all blackbelts budo-champions :)

[borninthe90sdecade]

superior also

[borninthe90sdecade]

I love brother Ali as much as the next fan of his career, he achieved so much out of his political, social and sports career and he definitly is one of the greatest if not the best boxer ever but in saying that i have to be honest because bruce lee would of totally demolished him, his speed and strength out weighed ali's without trying

[x19xsmgx89x]

lol why are you comparing bruce lee to ali of course he would have killed him but not if bruce lee was only allowed to use his hands but yeah if they got in a full out fight bruce would kill him just because he has more weapons and know how to use em(feet, elbows, knees, back hands) its just a different style but i still don't get why you are comparing to completely different styles

[borninthe90sdecade]

no my friend i am talking about if it was a boxing bout. bruce lee would beat him in a boxing bout. he was faster with hand speed and he always punched on target

[x19xsmgx89x]

not a chance 2 reasons ali out strengths him and by boxing rules has way more experience but like i said i still wanna know how it got in your head to even compare the 2 seriously its the most odd comparison i have ever heard

[borninthe90sdecade]

people compare the 2 all the time and no, your underestimating bruces strenght even though the man could knock people to the other side of the room with just a 1 inch punch so imagine what he could do with a full speeded up punch with distance. he was much faster than ali and he stayed faster even when he was in the 70s, he was a boxing champion at one point to when he competed in a tournament for it. he was faster more agile, his agility was superior and his footwork, speed and strenght was

[upthera5]

dont be fucking stupid. He was faster than ali no doubt. Strength? lol. It's simple fucking science. Bruce Lee was about the weight of a welter weight boxer. Ali was a heavyweight. Not only does Ali have more muscle and weight than Lee, but a bigger skeleton. Your skeleton is one of the key factors affecting punching power, things like leverage and hand size are determined by it. They all affect power. I can't be arsed argueing who'd win but the facts are lee was faster, ali was stronger.

[borninthe90sdecade]

you see thats your problem, you talking like boxing is just about strength. boxing is about hitting your opponent before they hit you basically speed first then strenght and any way lee's strenght was more than alis, his power came from his over developed forearms and triceps as well as biceps

[upthera5]

my problem? at what point did i say strength is more useful than speed? I didn't...I simply stated Ali was stronger than Lee, and Lee was faster than Ali. Learn to read comments properly. Personally I say you need a balance of both, And when it comes to Ali and Lee, Ali has both, but Lee really only has speed against Ali. You're kind of dumb to think Bruce is stronger. I already explained the scientific factors so just accept it

[Manormaniac]

I understand Your comments, and wrote my comment because of those comment by other persons that were enought ignorant to comparing small and light movie trick "fighter" Bruce Lee and heavy weight champion like Muhammed Ali. That is very irrelevant.

Mouse has never won a cat however fast the mouse could be;)

[Manormaniac]

Ok, im sorry :) You "upthera5" never post a comment because of MINE but those comments of "borninthe90sdecade" :) The name born in the 90s decade tells it all, he is a kid and lives still partly in the world of fairy tales and may believe that fast and skilled mouse could beat a lion! lol

[borninthe90sdecade]

dude you an ass, you actually think that lee is a fake martial artist........wow

[Manormaniac]

Ok, your comments tells it all :) Even I have much bigger muscles and very much more power than Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee... ;) Im "only" about 6 sharp tall (180 cm) and 205 lbs (93 kg) and no fat anywhere. Wow you believe that tiny little chinese could ever REALLY fight against heavy weight boxers lol

Check this clip at youtube, it tells a lot about "movie-trick fighters"

bruce lee vs. chuck norris

[borninthe90sdecade]

yeah so what if hes chinese, whats the point even bringing that up and your stupid dumbass if you actually think that bruce lee was a fake martial artist, your making me die of laughter right about now. its not about how big your muscle is its about how strong they are you jack ass

[whatevahman]

It's not just about strength it's about technique.

[Manormaniac]

I know Lee was in good shape, and he could hit and kick, but I haven't heard him ever fought in any REAL fight against boxer, kickboxer or thaiboxer. And in Europe one man is often boxer, kickboxer and thaiboxer, only the rools in the ring are different, same people are often good in all those fights whatever the rools are;)

BTW, the man who won 12 World champion belt in thaiboxing lives in Finland, but he hasn't succeed in boxing or kickboxing;)

[Manormaniac]

What I mean with all that is you can't compare those "movie-trick fighter" and true boxers, thaiboxers and kickboxers. Movie-fighters never hit the target, they never got hurt, it's all acting. Real pro fighters are in their own class, they are not fake, they are acting, their punches hurt, they hit and get hit, they hurt and they get hurt in REAL world. Please don't make yourself a fool by comparing Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and REAL fighters :)

[whatevahman]

A BJJ/MMA/Muay Thai fighter would kill a boxer easily, boxing is too one dimensional and I would actually like to see a Bruce Lee vs Muhammad Ali fight, Bruce Lee was the first martial artist to do a movie without special effects.

[Manormaniac]

I know many kickboxer and some of them are good in the ring with boxing rools too.

Thaiboxers are in Europe often same people than kickboxers and boxers. In Thailand those traditional thaiboxers have a different style to fight than those in Europe. In Europe thaiboxers are much better boxers than those in Thailand, and European thaiboxers block hits and kicks very well. Pro heavy weight boxer is a very hard to hit OR kick, they are superior because the big money is there and so are the talents;)

[borninthe90sdecade]

ARE YOU FUCKING DUMB MY SON?. Bruce Lee was a real martial artist you dip shit, he formed his own REAL fighting style called jeet kung doe which litterally means way of the intercepting fist. A thai boxer would beat a boxer in the 9 out of 10 times and it has been proven by shows like ufc and k1

[Manormaniac]

What about Bruce Lee and his record?

Jomhod Kiatadisak ''King of the ring'', official record: bouts 280, wins 253 by ko 80, losses 24, draws 3.

Muhammed Ali: bouts 61, wins 56 by ko 37, losses 5, draws 1.

I find NONE official bout for Bruce Lee... :)

[borninthe90sdecade]

wow dude, im done here and keep on thinking that bruce was a fake fighter. (you really lack knowledge on the martial arts)

[Manormaniac]

This clip is about Muhammed Ali, one of the best heavyweight professional boxer ever lived, and many think he's The Greatest.

In this clip is nothing about that who would won in UFC, K1 or shootfighting competition. There is in Finland men who have fought in shootfight competition, kickboxing competition, boxing and thaiboxing competition. I know these tournaments very well because I have been in teams that organized those shows, and I also know who fought there.

[rafael1alanis]

of course he does, he doesn't know shit and talking to the other dumbass like if they know about fighting. fuckin bruce lee invented his own style and this guy saying hes fake. with the reflexes of bruce lee it would be fuckin hard to hit him ..and this guy talking about fighting like if he knows ..i just want to punch this guy

[borninthe90sdecade]

dude i absolutely agree with you, that guy doesnt know what he is talking about because if he actually thinks bruce was a fake movie martial artist that didnt know jack shit about fighting then he's got some real problems. Its clear that he doesnt actually know about martial arts and that he is chatting out of his ass

[BudPeters44]

Dude,Bruce was for show ..yeah he knew martial arts ,but only as well as the next guy.Movies made hime great.There is no way he could really beat chuck norris and Bruce lee would admit that and has.Bruce lee was a movie star martial artist,not a great martial arts master as he looks.Wow i can't believe how nieve some people are lol.I guess you feel selvester stallone was a great boxer also huh ?

[borninthe90sdecade]

wait lmao.......you actually think that Lee was a show fighter?, just for the movies?, wow you are a moron. bruce was a real martial artist that taught real students how to fight, his physical strength and ability's are not comparible and he even created his own martial arts called JEET KUNE DO, which is a very popular fighting system that is studied by thousands of men and women because it cuts out the flashy bullshit and shows you how to disarm your opponent right from the get go

[BudPeters44]

No,no not at all do i think that.I know he knew martial arts.He even had his own school.But to fight like he did on his movies ???? no way on Gods earth can he fight that well.Anyone can fight like that if you have hollywood help.I can't believe their are people dumb enough to think bruce lee was actually as good as his movies lmao..Oh well i guess your intitle to your fantasy.Geeeze whats the world comming to lmao !!!

[borninthe90sdecade]

lmao you really are a jackass because i never said he was capable of the feats he portrayed in his film, i said "his physical strength and ability's are not comparible and he even created his own martial arts called JEET KUNE DO, which is a very popular fighting system that is studied by thousands of men and women because it cuts out the flashy bullshit and shows you how to disarm your opponent right from the get go". In his movies he has like 10minute long fight scenes but he even said that is

[SA2137]

are you kidding. you are right/

[Manormaniac]

Muhammed Ali is The Greatest

Muhammed Ali: professional bouts 61, wins 56 by ko 37, losses 5, draws 1. Amateur boxing record: bouts 108, wins 100.

I find NONE official bout and NO record for Bruce Lee... :)

[Manormaniac]

The record of Bruce Lee: one junior boxing fight about 13 years of age and it was more like show-fight than real competition.

Bucer Lee WON a BIG TOURNAMENT in Hongkong, but it was DANCING competition, Lee and hes dancing partner won cha cha :)

Few shows, and demos and several movies.

Bruce Lee was in good shape but hes was an ACTOR: Lee trained kung fu like millions of people in the world, but NO REAL FIGHT in any martial art competitions ;)

[borninthe90sdecade]

dude bruce lee was a real fighter that formed and studied under real martial arts. just watch hi documentarys, he was a real streetfighter in the streets of hong kong, your getting records confused with reality. just because he was not involved with boxing tournaments doesnt mean he was not a real fighter. you talk about "were not talking about other things we are only talking about ali and this video" but then your dumbass bring up things that have nothing to do with the debate

[Manormaniac]

Bullshit :) Lee was ACTOR. Period. I have lived over 30 years training with true fighters who won kickboxing, thaiboxing and boxing champion belts, and Lee doesn't do anything that I see doing in every day much better in the REAL lives. Of course some of those athletics I know have fought in street, like Tyson who koed Lee easily at time he was 12 year old. Before you say anything about be you have to have a heath to come in ring with me pal whatever the rools are;)

[rafael1alanis]

shut the fuck up dude, you say you train with the best, i dont see you in tv you dumbass. you ain't shit, quit trying to sound like you know everything about fighting. You dont know shit about fighting and about bruce lee.

[queenliyah123]

im so happy i found this lol.

ali is the greatest of all time.

[lumpagogo]

With all that footwork, he did not do enough to win vs Billy Daniels or Doug Jones so they stopped the Daniels fight on some phantom cut and gave him the decision vs Jones.

[Jagex279]

Real badass!

[bestprize34]

Muhammad ali was the best hes speed was absolutly amazing

[Jonnyblyth93]

Ali was a twat

[ALBACELTS]

nice 1. cheers for the upload!

[powmongo]

Ali had no problem with big punchers. Liston, Williams, foreman, Lyle, Shavers he handled them all easily. He had a problem with good defense fighters like frazier (bobbing and weaving) and Norton (crabb like defense) but he learned how to handle them too.

[watbish]

he fought like a lightweight

[TheRingPupil]

Great Video!

[Theman0711]

lolz he was so fast that he even made the ref. run 2 avoid him like at 3: 54

[RMCDOXX0]

Ali would win, Tyson may have had the aggression and strength but Ali had Everything, thats what made him special in the ring i guess :)

[alithe619]

Ali would win he was simpli the best

[akamola]

Ali vs tyson, Who would win ????

[tnguyen603]

Ali is the MAN!!!!

[coupelikeacaravan]

very cool. i like the brits interpretation of boxing, they tend to be very intelligent and not so much about being wise guys.

[leaf427]

very good documentary

[innit27]

Henry Cooper seems to makes a living off the back of Ali. Henry got smashed by aged Floyd Patterson, dont hear him talking about that as much. There is so much myth perpetuated by these programs. Liston was actually smaller than Ali.

[JBboy69]

Patterson was a very good fighter but, he was no cultural icon.

[leomes]

shorter you mean

[innit27]

same thing. Liston was only 7 pounds heavier, Ali was 3 inches taller.

[jonvdw]

That's not the point. The fact of the matter is that Sonny Liston was one of the most ferocious and strong looking heavyweights of all time. He had the look of a tank, just like Tyson in his prime. Ali (actually still Cassius Clay at the time of the first fight with Liston) on the other hand looked at the start of his pro-career like the blown-up light-heavyweight he was (similar to Michael Spinks when he fought Tyson in '88).

[dieudonneMC]

Brains beat brawn always!

[jonvdw]

Henry Cooper has every right to "make a living off the back of Ali", since he is the only man to ever knock Ali out clean. When you watch their first fight, you can clearly see that Ali (or Cassius Clay as he was then known) is knocked into another dimension by Cooper's devastating left hook. Clay is saved by the referee (who should have stopped the fight) and by Angelo Dundee who somehow revived Clay in the corner. It was this fight that convinced Liston that Clay would be an easy opponent.

[whatsoever69]

yeah, i saw that fight, but after the knock down, ali demolished cooper so the referee had to stop the fight.

ali had more endurance than anybody at that time and before.

[powmongo]

You are crazy. He was dazed but he got up rather quickly from the punch. so he did has his legs to a degree. the fight be stopped? Had he not been saved by the bell he would have tied him up until the rounds end. He was embarressed more than anything and carved coopers face into a filet the next round.

[jonvdw]

I'm crazy? Just look at the footage after the knockdown. Ali's cornermen are trying desperately to bring him back into consciousness (even holding some chemical under his nose to help him come to his senses). At one point Ali even stands up, totally unaware of where he is (look at his eyes), and Dundee has to force him to sit down again. Every boxing expert knows that Ali was totally out on his feet (just because a fighter manages to stand back up, doesn't mean he's ready to continue to fight).

[showtime3700]

Then Ali got up and dusted his azz Come man!! everybody gets caught... It what happens after that!!gzzzz

[jonvdw]

When did I ever say Ali should be ashamed of getting caught with a good punch? All I mean to say is that he was knocked out, even if he was able to stand back up. If the referee would have counted to 10 (no saving by the bell), and then asked Ali a simple question (where are you, what's your name, are you O.K., ...), he would not have been able to answer it correctly in my opinion. Just look at his eyes when Dundee is working on him in the corner: he was in another dimension.

[jonvdw]

Dazed??? He was totally out on his feet. Like I said before, just because someone is able to stand back up, doesn't mean he's alright to fight, it's just a reflex reaction. If the referee would have asked him a simple question right after the knockdown, I honestly don't think he could have answered. That doesn't make Ali any less of a legend, it just shows that at that time he was overconfident and underestimated Cooper, and almost paid for it. The Cooper left is the hardest punch Ali ever took.

[sSsAgentOrangesSs]

Doesn't matter he still stopped him.

[lumpagogo]

Dundee has admitted Cassius's glove was cut and that there was "a 3 or 4 minute delay to get a new one." Maybe on his deathbed Angelo will confess what we already know--he cut it because Cassius could never have recovered in one minute.

[ryanmail2004]

yeah man. you can bring up all these facts if you want but they wont change a thing. your boy cooper got slayed. and "All I mean to say is that he was knocked out, even if he was able to stand back up" that is a boxing oxymoron, dont ever say that again

[jonvdw]

First of all, Cooper is not "my boy". Secondly, if getting knocked out and standing back up is an oxymoron, you probably have never seen a fight in which a boxer manages to beat the 10 count but is not allowed to continue by the referee. Sometimes, fighters who get knocked out somehow get back up in a reflex, but that does not take away from the fact that they are unable to continue.

[ryanmail2004]

knocked out means out cold. knocked down means down. if the ref stops it, it becomes a TKO. SLAY YOU ALL DAY, ANY DAY.

[jonvdw]

Knocked out does't mean knocked out cold. It just means the fighter isn't able to get back up before the ten count. Sometimes that means knocked out cold (meaning unconscious). What happened in this fight is Clay got knocked unconscious for a couple of seconds and got up, still half out of it. The referee should have finished the 8 count and then asked Clay a simple question, which I don't think he would have been able to answer. Therefore the fight should have been a TKO-victory for Cooper.

[ryanmail2004]

if you say so. but whatever happened has happened. and he won, you cant change it so no reason trying to argue it saying what shoulda coulda woulda happened.

[KJER]

correction...the ken norton JAW break was the hardest he took.......

[jonvdw]

Just because the jaw was broken doesn't mean the punch was that hard. The jawbone isn't very thick, and when you get hit when your mouth is open, there is a big chance of getting it broken. The same thing happened to Arthur Abraham in his first fight with Edison Miranda, and that was not a hard punch. The Cooper left hook knocked Clay unconscious for a couple of seconds, which requires a lot more power than breaking someone's jaw.

[KJER]

wow your quite the discuss-er here arent ya??..haha alll good..i gotta correct myself..

its not cooper that gave him the hardest hit..

Frazier gave him the hardest.....

[jonvdw]

The Frazier left hook was devestating, but in my opinion the most damaging single punch landed on Clay/Ali was Cooper's left hook, simply because it clearly had the most impact on him. The Frazier left hook knocked him down, but Ali seemed to be pretty clearheaded when he got up from that shot, whereas the Cooper punch rattled him for at least 40 seconds. The evidence is in the corner, where Dundee is frantically trying to bring him back to his senses.

[chomsky88]

Yes Liston was smarter than Ali because he knew enough not to get up off the canvas in the re-match. He knew he was going to get his ass kicked again.

[mrtvman]

cool
