i think the lay off was wud of bin his prime so i dnt think no1 saw him in his prime. he wernt the same wen u cam bk to boxin but tht is wen he beat the best boxers around
incredible performance, its a crime that the world was robbed of the greatest boxer of all time by the injustices and tyranny of evil men. Ali in his prime could have motivated and moved a generation, instead he has motivated and moved countless generations to come
Boxing would never be the same after Ali. Or even the way striking in general is approached for that matter, for instance UFC MiddleWeight Champ Anderson Silva says he was greatly influenced by Ali and you can see it in Andersons footwork and showmanship. Muhammad Ali is an Icon and was a poet in motion inside the ring!
Williams had been shot by a magnum and was slightly paralyzed down his left side. this win is meaningless except for the fact that williams was a good fighter and had a good reputation when he was younger before he sustained his injuries.
@MOSTechnology What's your point here? That Ali fought bums? Muhammad Ali fought many of boxing's greatest champions in their prime when HE was "washed up".. and won! The heavyweight divison was never greater than this era that began when Ali won the championship. Anyway, Ali made everyone look washed up when he was dancing around like this. Seriously, what could anyone do? I watch Ali's pre-exile fights over and over because he was the Albert Einstein of the sweet science!!!
@dorsal08 woah! calm down dude. My point is Williams was over the hill and had health problems. Bit like saying Larry Holmes or Trevor Berbick were amazing when they fought Ali. Thats not rocket science to understand.
@MOSTechnology See how you make me act when you say anything about Ali? And if Larry Holmes or Trevor Berbick ever dreamed they were anything like Ali they would wake up and apologize.
I don't know how many times I've seen this fight. Seeing Ali dancing with such beauty and speed is something one can't get enough of. Like he did the ring on ball bearings. Amazing!
Poor Cleve was a shadow of his former self here. Never the same after the serious injuries he sustained when he was shot by a cop a year earlier. All this fight showed is Ali could look invincible against a totally shot opponent.
@xASH3Yx That's like saying Larry Holmes would have destroyed Ali even if he wasn't shot. Saying what someone 'would have' done doesn't prove anything. Ali couldn't even destroy Doug Jones, George Chuvalo or Karl Mildenberger.
@FlaviusConstantius watch prime williams fights and then watch prime ali fights its pritty obvious that ali would of destroyed him. holmes is shit and has only ever fought fighters that were way past there prime like ali and norton when he fought a prime tyson he got killed plus ali did destroy chuvalo and jones he beat them up over the full 15 round just sit back and watch the tapes ali in his prime was un beatable
@xASH3Yx LOL Who did Ali fight in his prime that wasn't washed up or mediocre? Here you are building him up for beating a man who had a bullet in his gut, 10ft of intestine missing, a shriveled leg and kidney damage.
Have you even watched those fights? Ali needed a gift decision to beat a fat light heavy Jones, who he never gave a rematch to. Chuvalo pounded Ali's body all night. Ali went to hospital pissing blood afterwards.
@FlaviusConstantius Ali would beat any heavyweight from any era u obviously dont now fuk all about boxing ali has fought great fighters like joe frazier, geoge foreman, ken norton, sonny liston, ernie terrel and so on. How many heavyweights have u seen that cn throw a punch in 4 tenths of a second? ali is the greatest boxer of all time just watch his fights and if you have any boxing experience yourself which by reading your jugdement i doubt you wud understand why.
@xASH3Yx Greatest boxer ever, eh? Frazier beat the hell out of Ali in their most important fight when they were nearest to their primes. Liston was damn near 40 and both had strange outcomes. Just watch the 'knockout'. Ali had 3 fights with Norton and never beat him once in the ring. Foreman, weird fight with loose ropes where Foreman was held prisoner for a month. That crap passes for the 'greatest of all time'?
@FlaviusConstantius Ali beat norton twice norton beat him once u downie, and then ropes wernt lose in the foreman fight. Frazier beat ali in there 1st fight because ali had just come back from a 3 year lay off and the 2nd liston fight if you watch the ko you can clearly see alis anchor punch landing flush on liston chin. You clearly have never boxed in yourlife because if you had you would now how much talent ali had. GREATEST OF ALL TIME
Please, if Ali hadn't become an icon for the 60s liberal anti-Vietnam crowd I doubt anyone would call him that.
Ali got more gifts than any fighter I know of. Needed extra time between rounds after being dropped by Cooper. Should have lost all 3 to Norton, lost to Young, Shavers and Jones, beaten up by Frazier when it counted. Had that farcical 'anchor punch' fight with Liston and the equally weird loose ropes fight with Foreman. Lost his title to a 7 fight novice.
@FlaviusConstantius ye he should of lost to henry cooper. In the first norton fight that he lost he fought from round 2 to round 15 with a broken jaw, he had more heart then most of the heavyweights around then and now.I dont now what your on about when you say ali should of lost to shavers because ali ko shavers in the last round, jones he clearly beat if you watch the fight you can see that ali lands more scoring blows then jones and same for young. he lost to spinks cus he was 38
@xASH3Yx and he had parkinsons wen he fought spinks. but look at there 2nd fight wen ali won the title bck for the 3rd time he dominated a younger fighter. the anchor punch clearly lands on listons chin if you watch it.
@xASH3Yx You tellin' me one of the strongest toughest heavyweight champs ever gets taking out by that popcorn punch? No thank you. Fight was fishy to a lot of people. Funny how Ali had Parkinsons when he lost to Spinks but still won the rematch (against a guy with 8 pro fights). Ali didn't KO Shavers lol and Jones was a controversial decision. Jones outjabbed Ali all night and won at least 6 rounds.
@FlaviusConstantius sorry i meant ali could of ko shavers if he wasnt saved by the bell and popcorn punch wtf are u on about like i sed watch it in slow motion you clearly see liston neck snap back off the impact and jones didnt outjab ali more like ali outclassed jones. ali won the 2nd spinks fight because spinks got so big headed that he didnt train like a world champ and ali did so there you go. spinks was a legitimate contender who was ranked in top 10 for the wba
@xASH3Yx So Ali lost because he had Parkinsons but even older he was still able to beat the 'heavyweight champion'? Makes no sense. Spinks was not a legitimate contender, he was a greenhorn with 7 pro fights. His record before and after Ali is not impressive. Yes popcorn punch. It had no power on it and definitely not enough to KO an iron chinned guy like Liston. It was a joke and Liston made it look like one. And yes Doug Jones beat Ali. The decision was loudly boo'd by the MSG crowd.
@FlaviusConstantius Ali beat spinks because spinks got so big headed he didnt train as hard for the 2nd fight with ali because he thought that ali was done. Popcorn punch my arse watch the fight you see listons head snap back on impact and i would love to see you take it. The jones decision was boo'd because at that time ali was hated by the spectators because of his big mouth watch any ali documentry it will tell you that and the jones fight was when ali was developing as a fighter
@xASH3Yx Ali beat Spinks because he actually trained a little for the rematch against a little 195lb novice who barely broke .500 after the Ali series. Yes popcorn punch. It was an arm punch thrown off the wrong foot by a non-puncher going backwards. No way a popcorn punch like that takes out Liston. No way. The Jones decision was boo'd because a lot of people thought the decision a robbery. So Ali was a novice against Jones, yet 2 fights later he supposedly beat Sonny Liston. Yeah right!
that clearly shows clay throwing the punch off his back foot and if you now anything about boxing you would now that when you throw you transfer your bodyweight from your back foot to front foot pus clay has knocked down loads of fighters while going backwards just watch the fight above he drops williams the first time while on his back foot
@xASH3Yx The same guy who went about 100 rounds with all-time glass chinned fighters like Norton, Spinks, Cooper and Patterson and scored 1 knock down in total? Try it yourself: get into an orthodox stance and leap back off your lead left foot onto your right foot whilst throwing a right cross. There is no power in such a shot and definitely not sufficient to KO iron chinned Liston. Watch Liston's reaction: at no point does he behave like a fighter who's just been knocked out.
@FlaviusConstantius you obviously cant throw a right cross properly because when you bounce back off your back foot all of your body weight is behind you and liston was acting dazed watch when they start fighting again he just covers upand does'nt throw back Ali made boxing what it is today and none can take the credit away from him nuff sed
@xASH3Yx Boxing is in a terrible state today and you want to give Ali credit for that? lol
You mean throwing a right cross going backwards while the weight is on your left lead? There is no power in such a shot. Liston took power shots from Cleve Williams and fought Marty Marshall with a broken jaw. He even put his hands out to stop his fall lol and his rolling on the canvas was a joke. Then after 20 secs down he calmly got up and started fighting again lol
@FlaviusConstantius WTF are u onabout if you thow the right cross the way that clay did all of your body weight is transfered from your back foot to your front watch the clip you see him lean back of liston left hook. And big wow ali fought from round 2 to round 15 with a broken jaw against ken norton who is a much beater scientific fighter than Marty Marshal, also when clay landed the right hand on sonny, sonny was off balance so he was bound to go down.
@xASH3Yx What are you on about? It was an arm punch, while he was balanced on the wrong foot, going backwards. From a guy who couldn't budge all time soft chins like Norton, Patterson, Cooper and Neon Leon. There is NO power in such a shot. Knocked out fighters don't put up their hands to break their fall and they don't roll around the canvas lol. What did Norton ever do except beat up Ali three times?
@FlaviusConstantius plus liston didnt start fighting again he covered up and clay started flurying him. What wud you do if you got hit off balance and went down you are obviously going to put your hands down to brake your fall. Ali can throw alot harder than cleve williams as the fight i uploaded shows. williams wasnt much better before he got shot. Ehat i meant was if it wasnt for ali there wouldnt be as much character charisma and heart in boxing as there is today plus boxing isnt in the state
@xASH3Yx Modern day boxing...five title belts, 12 round title fights, 40-fight careers, catchweights, roids, loads of divisions, champions who fight twice a year, the best fighters avoiding each other. Yes, what a wonderful state modern boxing is in! LOL
@FlaviusConstantius wat r u onabout the average fight records are over 50 fights, fighters also get tested for roids and performane inhancer and for once i agree with you on the fact that there are to many weight classes but i dont think that the best fighters avoid each other its just the fact that modern boxers only care about the money and not the prestige of winning the world title. i sed that ali brought in stlye charisma and chracter for example we wouldnt bother watching weigh ins if
i think the lay off was wud of bin his prime so i dnt think no1 saw him in his prime. he wernt the same wen u cam bk to boxin but tht is wen he beat the best boxers around
