omg...that's doesn't looks brutal knockout..i've rolled it over and over again but still wonder how come tough guy like sonny get knocked out just a one single "weak punch"..it seem to be weak punch to everyone but only sonny and others boxer who knocked out by Ali knew how hard it is

[HighlandTroll]

the most elegant knockout of all time

[DeadEyeRabbit]

a dive

[TheStevekid]

Ali was great for standing up for what he believed in. he refused to go around hte world to kill other poor people for a nation that oppressed (and oppresses) their own people. as a fighter, he was definitely one of the greatest, better than Joe Louis or Rocky Marciano? debatable. in other weights, sugar ray robinson could be considered greater. but this fight? very hard to believe that Liston didnt take a dive.

[sheltv100]

This knockout that Muhammad Ali did against Sonny Liston is exactly what Obama needs to do if Herman Cain runs against him in 2012. Knock out Cain and say to him, "GET UP CAIN! GET UP!"

[alimoe500]

wtf do u mean fake muhammad ali beat listen fair in square

[Dahl0s]

FAKE!!!!

[starginsky]

The way to see that punch is to focus on Liston's head - nothing else. At 5:20 just look at Liston's head and you will see the IMPACT of the punch. His head jolts and he goes straight down. WITHOUT A DOUBT A REAL PUNCH

[gmoney9400]

what s my name

[ploopterfarm]

No phantom punch. Place your cursor at around 7-34 and click the scroll bar to view the punch over and over again. Focus on Liston's right ear. It jerks (along with his head) as the punch lands. Of course, Liston could have faked that motion but it looks like a real reaction to a real punch. Remember, a certain (and large) portion of the public and media didn't like Ali. They didn't like that he changed his name, went Muslim and was opinionated! His win got under their skin. Ali landed.

[61dodgelancer]

Fake

[Nickcat5]

'Black Muslim' was a media term. There's no such organization by that name!

[DtretcHx]

this fight looks fake

[OldSchoolKid1994]

Man, Maybe it's just me, but it looked like liston was just like ''fuck it, this man is just too damn fast, and I know I'm not going to win.'' He looked like he just gave up quickly. I think he knew he could of just gotten up and fought him some more, because in the first fight, ali hit him wit even much worser punches than that. I love ali to da fullest, and I love this sport, keep boxing in the high ranks!

[pompeytut]

The mafia made some big bucks that night LMAO!

[XxTreyvonxX]

it's just like that anderson silva knockout over forest griffin, that punch did't look like it could hurt a fly, just poves how great of a fighter he was

[dunkcan444rutt]

his first fight with liston was the best

[billthestinker]

liston was hit hard and went down,but he could have gotten up, in a split second liston decided not too, just like the ref (walcott) did in his return bout with marciano also a ko in the 1st.

[Hollywo0d18]

those white people in the front row where fuckin pissed. lol

[obdami]

That's ironic that Ali would try to use Islam as his basis for being a conscientious objector. What a fucking joke. Islam is all about war and slaughter. On the other hand, I can understand him being a pussy about avoiding being drafted and going to Vietnam. I mean really, who the fuck wants to die as a pawn for some geopolitical bullshit that only matters to those in power, who themselves don't have to risk their lives?

[moraisinimputavel]

would you say usa isnt about war and slaughter?

i honestly cant remember the last time usa wasnt in war, and none of them "to defend their country". do some actually believe this crap??

i guess who has a political mind is full of shit and for those rednecks that goes to shot people and drive a tank, chooper that costs millions cause they see cool ads about who fun the army is so right.

Ali was a hero for that.

to give up the only thing he knew to do in order to do what is right.

[Cepical]

@moraisinimputavel the greatest

[jeremy10ization]

@moraisinimputavel The last time the US wasn't at war was before 9/11, you stupid fuck. And we were actually at peace for a decent amount of time, before Osama bin Laden, Muhammad Atta, and a bunch of other piece of shit ragheads decided to provoke us.

[TheJcty]

@moraisinimputavel If your gonna talk shit at least learn how to write LOL

[Dec0dog]

I love the cocked right hand on his way down...just like what happend in '74 with Foreman.

[mizofan]

If it was a fix, why didn't Liston go down at 3'14 of this clip? Why did he get up when knocked down? Why not string it all out a bit longer anyway? What speed of punch by Ali, lots of spectators didn't even see it! The greatest for sure.

[deafro1001]

watch when liston tries to get up near the middle of the count...he just falls back down with little effort

[ChrisMuadDib]

@mizofan I didn't even see it till they did the slow motion. I was like why did he fall off a weak punch that he blocked, but in slow motion you see that Ali snaked his punch over Liston's arm and nailed him with some power. Ali could put tremendous power in his punch at the last instant with little distance, I seen him hit Foreman with that same ability. However Liston was out of his element and obviously underconditioned for the fight I seriously doubt he trained a single day b4

[reverse20]

Ali came back after three years to beat foreman, this is just unbelievable !

[xadamcavanaghx]

Hate to be critical but this is worse then America's "staged" landing on the moon

[ironman36]

Oh yeah? well atleast the fight was real unlike the landing on the moon skit.

[Tubularm8]

I just can't believe that's true, although there are many people that claim the moon landing was fake and have some very good arguments, it's just such a set back from thinking in the future people were gonna live on the moon or mars and now it comes out we can't even get to the moon ffs, I feel so cheated!!!

[ironman36]

We are all being cheated.

[Kigorri]

Thanks so much. Pure form.
