Superb ali speed skill power also the ali shuffle

Ali the the best the greatest

Ali was great

That is the Ali I would have liked to see fight Tyson. Oh, what a match that would have been!

He did fight Tyson. In frayser😅"and Foreman. "you can't hit what you can't see!"​@@guardsful

Uyy

Absolutely CORRECT and true.

They did not reconcile, and that was because Joe Frazier carried his anger and resentment of Ali to his grave. Frazier could never forgive Ali for all of the incredibly cruel insults and taunts that he directed at Frazier when the two fighters were rivals. Ali called him “Uncle Tom”, “big ugly gorilla” and a number of other things. What Ali never seemed to realize was how deeply Frazier was wounded by the insults. For Ali, it was just part of the game. And the resentment that Joe held stemmed from the fact that Ali was worshipped by millions of people around the world. Meanwhile, Joe Frazier never got the respect that he felt he deserved and he did have a legitimate beef. Case in point: his adopted city of Philadelphia commissioned a statue of a fake heavyweight champion from a movie while ignoring the existence of the real life champion they had in Joe Frazier. And something that Frazier said in response to a reporter's question reveals just how bitter he remained some 20 years after he and Ali fought for the third and final time. Ali was chosen to light the Olympic flame for the 1996 Summer Games held in Atlanta and Frazier was asked how he felt about his old rival receiving the honor. Without a moments hesitation, he spat out the following reply: “I hope he falls in”.

😟 Let's say something nice about Williams who was shot by the police couple years before this fight. Many operations and suffering he came back.

@@robertcuratolo5339y’all have an excuse for every one of Ali’s opponents, you hate Ali that much? I don’t hear any of you complain about the arthritis Ali had in both hand from the age of 18…

Barely a scratch on is face

With his habit of standing over a fallen opponent and raising his arms, he failed to display any true grace. He didn't do it in every victory but he did it often enough.

@@57highland Don't confuse what he did in the ring and before, during and after boxing matches as being his personality. That was all about show business, selling tickets and TV rights. I remember him standing up for what he believed in and his biggest fight against the draft. "My conscience won’t let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful America, and shoot them for what? They never called me nigger, they never lynched me, they didn’t put no dogs on me, they didn’t rob me of my nationality, rape and kill my mother and father. … Shoot them for what? How can I shoot them poor people? Just take me to jail.” And that cost him his livelihood and his titles. That's grace and humanity.

​@@57highland Don't forvet WİNNERS ARE GRİNNERS !!

One handsome man!!

i had never seen a display of skills like this before or since,and against a pretty great fighter

People go on about todays heavyweights fury boxed 6 times since 2018 wyte chisora wilder wallin schwarz forgot other bum fury 30 to 35 ali from.72 to 77 30 to 35 boxed 22 times defended title 10 times in 3 yrs boxed norton frazier foreman lyle shavers in that time bums today

Ali peak prime that we saw. Ali really would have hit his peak some where between 67 and the early 70s. We were robbed of that. He would have been gaining more experience and still been so youthful. He would have destroyed any heavyweight of any era. Joe Frazier was a great fighter but if Ali and Frazier had met when they were really supposed to. Frazier wouldn't have had a chance against him. Ali's reflexes were elite human capability.

100 percent correct i met brian london 15 yrs hearns duran sportsman dinner he told me ali unbelieveable is hand speed could not see punches coming he told me he got a great purse thru ali made is life 1966 the fight

@@peterhanson3391Was about to say the same thing. This was him going into his prime. We never saw what his real prime.

Agreed

I forgot how fast he was, absolute masterpiece of boxing.

a young kid dynamite would’ve had trouble with the movement a little bit but he’s more than capable of knocking out a prime Ali who can’t keep his right hand up to save his life

@@hal2k19 Tyson hits about 5 times harder than Frazier don’t act like you don’t know

@@hal2k19 Tyson has better footwork, defense, and Ring IQ than both and i can keep going fr

We never got to see him at his peak.

@@dontbetonit813 Saw glimmers of it. Have to be thankful for that.

I agree…there’s only one “Sugar Ray”…Robinson that is. Ali was peaking. He dropped Williams with that same punch (phantom punch) he dropped Liston with.

the first knockdown punch while he was backpeddling, just amazing

Yes

Cleveland Williams, Zora Folley ...

❤

I didn't know Cleveland, but Ali made him look so average in this bout. I'm taking nothing from Cleveland but just another testament of Ali's greatness.

@@awesomefaith9965 it was clear that Williams would rather have been anywhere else but in that ring that night. Can't say I blame him either - this is the best version of Ali we got to see, but he was still improving and had yet more to give, but was robbed of his best years by the powers that be. He was never the same boxer upon his return to the ring after his enforced 3 1/2 year layoff.

Is like dancing 💃🏾 ballet 🩰 boxing game with Ali no one will be able to dance like him ….

the fact that Williams was shot with a 357 missing intestine s and a kidney makes this just a sad story

@@joetrie Yes but he had been winning all the same- 4 fights in 66, and then ko'd his next 3 opponents after this in the 1st round

Your forgetting Cleveland was injured from a gunshot and lost alot of his muscle,speed,stamina,agility he had nerve damage , lost some his kidney and lost some of his intestine the the bullet was still in him theres a few other stuff I dont remember that happend but ppl need to know the truth.

@@AXL664 he only weighted 212 when his normal weight is at 232 lbs

@@joetrie Again he lost alot of body weightt

I don't know now lol You have to think that's a different style all together that's like this fight with the pugilist style being time to move over just think Who was it that they got to whip Holmes because of the respect Holmes didn't give lol I honestly believe Tyson would have held a lot more records than he did if not for the death of Cus and the arrival of the vultures like Don King that man has no business in the boxing world he is the Christopher Columbus of boxing and if you think about what I mean by that you will get it by the way I'm Red Stick People and Cherokee 😂

@@tripleffarms2872 tyson struggled with mediocre boxers with ali style, tyson never touched holmes until the knockout either, and holmes could barley dance, ali would take prime tyson out of there by round 10

@@Razah. Like who?

@@GrubKiller436 Tyson struggled against Tyrell, he used Ali style but Tyrell was mediocre compared to Ali and only time he touched him was when Tyrell got tired and Ali never tired, Ali always destroyed a peek a boo master, flyod Patterson. Tyson even struggled against an old holmes until holmes got caught

@@Razah. This is false because Mike Tyson won every round against Tyrell Biggs. The same can be said for Larry Holmes, which you say "got caught." Yet he got knocked down, not once, but three times.

100 percent correct speed power skill big solid muscle just so damn good beats any heavyweight any era nov 1966 ali

Just watching michael parkinson paying tribute to ali when he died he said ali extraordinary human being

No heavyweight any era beats ali nov 66 v williams prime ali

Ali before exile norton frazier shavers etc etc would lose comfortably

@@paulneville8172 i agree with you 100%. narrowing down a bit no boxer could have beaten ali that particular night. it was boxing at its most perfection.

@@paulneville8172 i am with you on that.

He was an entertainer... Worth watching him fight...

Yeah, especially since Ali was already fighting someone else.

Exactly is becoming like dancing game dancing sport

agreed 100%

Ali in 66 67 no heavyweight beat him any era wrong what they did taking is titles at 25 coming into is prime frazier norton foreman no chance v ali in 66 67 ali win nearly every rd

Correct and I noticed 3 knock down he faced was when he was not dancing … Frazier Cooper and earlier one before his professional period. ..

I confirm. Thanks I think you know really this fight.

Do you know if there are alternate camera angles of other Ali fights? I always wanted, for example, to see Ali - Frazier 3 from another angle…

@@FatherofMan25 the differences I noticed were that, for the 2nd knockdown of Round 2, the camera wasn’t zoomed in close like I’m normally used to see; it was from the same distance and angle as knockdowns #1 & 3. And then also in round 3 when he wobbled Williams in the 3rd, it once again wasn’t zoomed in.

​@@corytclarkexactly

That night Ali delivered the best rounds of any heavyweight ever in history.He basically did not take any punch from Cleveland Williams. Apart from the knockdowns he caught Cleveland several times off- balance. This was Ali at his absolute best ever. What an injustice that not long after this fight his career was put on hold robbing Ali and the world of his best years.

Never be another

Rocky Marciano.

Lunatic

Boxing a form of fighting.

@@liamrigby3629 boxing is called pugilism

@@trinihammer it is a form of fighting boxers are fighters kick-boxers are fighters, soldiers are fighters, swordsmen are fighters it’s all fighting in different forms.

What the hell are you talking about

Joe Frazier did it. Doug Jones came very close. So it is actually an extrapolation.

@@sidharthk2793I think this fight took place before his 3 years suspension... against Jones he was still on his learning curve while against Frazier (1st fight) he was definitely ring-rust

@@unknowpeople1614 Are you sure. his next fight was title shot against Liston. How can you claim such bizzare things? Nobody is a novice when he is the number 1 contender.

Any modern day top 10 HW will destroy Ali

What a stupid comment lol. This prime Ali would beat any modern top 10 hw today within a single year.@@joetrie

@@joetrie Hahahahaha I see we have a comedian in our midst - good one!

​@@joetrie😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@iamtman1 You are Telling me that most feather fisted ch of all times 200lbs Ali who fought mostly cruisers handling today's super heavy weights?

Stopped Liston twice. KO’d Foreman and got the better of Frazier over 3 fights……..all outside of his peak years. No HW has anything close to his record.
