People can debate how great of a fighter he was, but at the very least he has to hold some sort of a record for taking such a ridiculous amount of abuse. The man just absorbed punishment. It's crazy. He swung bomb after bomb until they landed, getting beaten to a pulp the entire time. It might have been lousy technique but damn what a chin.
@DaTruthMasta - Henry Cooper didn't have fancy footwork or speed and wasn't even as physical strong as Ali but it didn't stop him from flooring him. If I remember correctly Ali was saved by the bell and the ref allowed his cornerman to use smelling salts to bring him around which was illegal. I'm taking anything away from him I'm just pointing out that he wasn't Mr invincible that all he's fans make him out to be.
Ken Cockell was getting massacred, ref should have stopped it sooner.
LOL at all the diehard Marciano fans that continue to say he'd beat Ali with his "courage" and "heart" and "strength." Just so we're clear, there is *absolutely zero* video evidence to suggest that Rock (or any of the earlier fighters for that matter, like Joe Louis) had the footwork, speed, and ring movement necessary to EVEN PHYSICALLY TOUCH Ali in 1965-68, let alone outpoint or KO him. Period.
I love classic boxing videos, and it angers me to see them ruined by shitty effects and shitty music. It seems like everything good in this world is ruined by idiots with no taste.
get that fucking shit flame effect off ur videos ffs

@Spritelover7 ali had motivation and willpower in spades. He would kick marcianos ass.
