I still think Doug Jones won it. The referee Score was astonishing. Anyway it’s a long time ago. Thank goodness we can still see these fights and I do enjoy every one of them. Sugar Ray Robinson the best of all time. He could knock a man out when on the retreat. Either hand. Love em all
The Madison Square garden crowd wasn't used to Muhammad's pulling his head back. Jones was missing they thought he was connecting. The referee who was one of the judges scored it perfectly. 8 rounds Ali, one round Jones, one round even.
Clay took at least 4 shots to the brain stem in that first clinch and never said a word to the ref, didn't start rubbing the back of his head like fighters do these days - even when they don't get rabbit punched - no reaction. He just went on fighting.
I believe Johnny Carson left the fight at the last bell to do the Tonight Show and broadcast that Doug Jones won the fight and was astonished when told the result. No doubt Ali was a great fighter probably the best heavyweight fighter ever,and very sweet guy.
This was prime Ali and many people believe that Jones beaten Ali. Can't blame them. This version of Clay I believe is beatable. Ali after come back was stronger and had a good chin. Prime Mike would destroy him I guess if they were of the same age. Truth is Ali never fought a great opponent before his first exile except an impaired Liston who couldn't box.
Ali/Clay did not impress everyone in his performance in his fight, as he did before and after. One magazine said “big talk, dull fight.” Wasn’t on TV so I don’t know if I agree.
Jones has no killer instinct. None at all. He hurt Ali early in the first and literally did nothing about it. Just let Ali recover. Exact same thing happens a few rounds later. No ability to lift his game and capitalize.
Best ever for my money as a matter of fact no one knows exactly how good aliwas because the boxing commission took his best years away from him from age 27to 30 his boxing license was suspended for his refusal to enter the military draft the man was generations ahead of his time rip champ and burn in hell boxing commission
Yes he was robbed of a career and we were robbed of an Ali we never truly got to see. His true legacy will never be known to us. Ali was improving all the time, had his career not been interrupted I think he could of retired undefeated if he'd chose to.
Unfortunately that was the Era when a black person was not supposed to succeed in nothing, that's why they wanted ali to go to Vietnam to get him killed, he was getting to popular and making to much money during that era
@@sidharthk2793 Your comment makes no sense tied to Ali's first period of boxing, he was only three years in from winning the title at 22 ... I offered an opinion on the very likelihood of Ali retiring undefeated had his career not been interrupted. How is that an excuse, its what I sincerely believe given in part that those fighters he fought on his return (and beat I may add) only Frazier he would of met before 1970, the much faster and more mobile Ali that beat the likes of Williams, Foley and Liston would have had little trouble. On his return his foot speed had slowed dramatically, quickness afoot being an essential part of his defence.The faster Ali would of met Frazier around '68 time beating him comfortably imo. Norton would not have been a ranked contender during Ali's time out and Foreman was winning Olympic gold in' 68 I believe. By the time Foreman got a title shot Ali would possibly be thinking of retirement. Ali may have stuck around for one more fight with Foreman, he still beats him but not in the same way as the Zaire '74 finish. I believe a 1960s Ali beats the above mentioned without much trouble.
@@barryf3395 You are deluded. Prime Ali won by robbery against Doug Jones. Ali improved after retirement. His chin improved. Pre exile Ali got knocked down many times. After exile his chin improved. Ali was fast. So was Joe. In fact Frazier deteriorated faster than Ali. Because his style doesn't give durability.Joe gained weight and became slow and his eyesight was an issue. Prime Frazier was a monster. Ali was fast even after retirement and he was not untouchable. Please rewatch his fight before Liston it was a robbery.
Ali was great in and out the ring. Joe Louis is the greatest heavy weight, Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest boxer of all time. At one point the guy was like128 wins 1 loss look up his record. Rocky Marciano was 50 wins 0 losses. Ali was the most influential but not the greatest boxer.
Ali basically wasn't going to pick up a gun, put on a uniform and fight for the freedoms of another country after watching how the states used Joe Louis to help with the war cause. When it was over, the champ came back to the reality of Jim Crow.
I haven’t seen this in a while and had forgotten how good it was. Deserves to be a classic, IMO.
I love 💕 Muhammad Ali and his family
You don’t know hes familia
ANSER THESE QUESTIONS!!!! 😡🤬
Muhammad Ali is the greatest the world's ever seen/
The greatest of all time bar none.
Mohamed Ali ❤
The Best ❤❤❤❤
Great fight

Thanks.
For whatever reason. This guy Jones seems to fight pretty similar to Liston.
I've always thought that too. If you didn't know it was Jones in there you'd might think it was Liston.
@@barryf3395 true man
Funny you should say that ,i was thinking of Liston the whole 9 mins of the video
For real! Good practice for Sonny right here
He’s So similar to Sonny in fighting style really.Biggest difference is his jab length.
Hi bro, great videos, keep up the good work 👌 Just one question, could you pls tell me the name of the song u used in ur Ali vs Foreman video? 🙏
U must be loving Ali.

Look at how young Muhammad Ali was here. He really was great. So light on his feet. Ali was to fast.

The 🛎 bell was so loud back in these old black and white 🥊 videos
I was there at Madison Square Gardens that night and I thought Doug Jones won it.
There were a lot of people that night who believe Doug Jones beat Ali fair and square.
How old are you sir?
@@gulizarkarasu308 86
I was there too but I passed 25 years ago and can’t remember much

Archie Moore ,Liston ,Patterson, Chuvallo,Terrell ,Foley ,..He was better in the 60,s no question .not stronger or as good condition
@@EvanBarr-uk3vk
Do you know how old Archie Moore was back then. And Liston had an injury. Patterson also got injured.
Frazier would defeat all Ali's former opponents except Liston. Which is also possible if the latter was injured
@@sidharthk2793 you ,have to be the most obtuse ever.

Ali beat Jones...the physique of Ali is impressive. Natural too...

Where it not for the clinching, Ali could have been knocked out. Clean.

Another mediocre, after the fact, Jimmy Jacobs voiceover. Lol Interesting fight though.
His voice overs are pretty underwhelming aren't they?
Would much rather have the original Don Dunphy commentating.

Yeah, sure you did. I believe you.😜😜😜😜
Fault, it s the Black thé winner.
Ali was a disgraceful draft dodger. BOO HISS.
He didn't dodge.
He simply refused as a conscientious objecter since the "yellow man" had done nothing to him.
Ali basically wasn't going to pick up a gun, put on a uniform and fight for the freedoms of another country after watching how the states used Joe Louis to help with the war cause. When it was over, the champ came back to the reality of Jim Crow.
To the man who said he was there that night Doug Lost
Many fight fans thought Doug Jones won that fight make no mistake that was a bad decision.
@@donaldbakerGonzo1 Yup. The decision is not without controversy. Lots of people who watched the fight believe Jones won clearly.
