@@sidosolo1688 I think so as well , George knows how to hit down using body weight he always destroyed smaller opponents but Earnie just hits like truck no matter who. Ali did beat Earnie as well but i wouldn't reccomend watching it Ali took some serious punishment possibly even some brain damage.
Chuck wepner said liston hit harder than foreman and he fought both And he was a walk forward fighter so he would have felt it more than a man moving away Ali was overrated Holmes was better and without all the Ali bullshit and Ali would never beat some of the more recent heavyweights this is the usual sentimental Ali crap
Ali trained his mind to be invulnerable to Foreman’s blows. He convinced himself that Foreman could do nothing to hurt him and it worked. The mind is very powerful.
Except Foreman gave Ali permanent brain damage. The will to win at any cost is greater than the body’s ability to absorb that kind of punishment in this case. I mean looking back, it’s not hard to see how Foreman, one of the hardest punchers to ever live, hit so hard he could give people brain damage. This is how we all know Ali was the greatest. He beat big George while receiving brain damage, and Big George went on to win the heavy weight title again nearly 20 years later, only losing it to the 90’s generation champion Holyfield (who has stated no one hit harder than big George). It’s not hard to infer that a Big George in his Prime would have beaten Holyfield, Lewis, or Tyson, and the same would have been true for Ali.
Skinny fighters are hardly real fighters, they trade 3 punches and are already ready to go to the ground hump on each other. Heavyweight is where the real shit is, those guys know pretty well any punch can end the fight and hardly go give each other's head on the ground.
Interesting! !ironically Tyson is the one that idolizes Ali! Ali made boxing into a glamorous sport. Tyson turned it into a blood bath. I believe Tyson wishes he had Ali's grace and character. Its funny on how we always want what we don't have?
George Foreman is one of the best boxers of all time, in case you didn’t know, he won the heavyweight championship like 20 years after the fight with one of the most devastating strikes I’ve ever seen, and Ali withstood all that.
The two piece to Moorer? I feel like any one of Tysons knockouts looks more devastating than the Moorer knockout. I know Moorer was hit hard, but I always felt like it looked too effortless for George
The guy used to go through heavy bags like kids go through cereal &NOBODY wanted to spar with him cause it just wasn't worth it.. &Ali stood in the ring with him playing rope a dope for the duration.. took him out to feel waters &drowned his ass
@@frankieg3409 Foreman's hit to Moorer was a solid punch, in the perfect spot. A shot so perfect, it broke Moorer's mouth piece while it was inside of his mouth, apparently.
My father was always derogatory about Ali. He said Ali was not a proper fighter with all that dancing around. He said he thought Ali's fights were fixed. That changed on this momentous night in 1974. My father watched the fight at a mate's house. But when he came back he said, 'What a fight! It was like Ali said to Foreman, If you haven't got a punch, I have!' My father was an Ali fan after that. I was always an Ali fan.
Alot of fightfans had that in the beginning of Ali's career...he won with such an ease it lookliked he was getting weak opponnents or the fights were fixed but in the end he was too good for the eye to believe it
Ali played with Foreman s mind and it helped Ali to win in only 8 rounds to beat a undefeated Foreman who destroyed every boxers..including Joe Frazier in 2 rounds that Ali once lost
Ali you was without a doubt the greatest of all time, there will never be anyone ever to come close to you sir your personality alone was beautiful. RIP Ali
he was also a racist pig that bullied anyone that disagreed with him. calling other black people Uncle Toms or coconuts for not talking about racism. usually the idiots that talk the most about race are racist themselves. they simply hide behind the mask of being a victim. like that idiot LeBron James. he is sponsored by a corporation that has sweatshops in Asia and he bitches about "oppression".
I was lucky enough to watch the "Rumble in the Jungle" and the "Thrilla in Manila" "live" via closed circuit TV at the Spectrum in Philadelphia! Back then there was no cable TV or pay-per-view. You had to buy a ticket and go to someplace carrying the fight. It was actually a great way to see these two classic fights! The Spectrum held 20,000 people and was sold out for both fights! The shouts of "Ali....Ali" from the majority of the crowd after Ali won both fights, including myself, was two of the greatest moments of my life!!!

Both are the greatest of all time 1. Ali 2. Foreman 3. Frazier That’s just my ranking, any argument for them being one would work, I can also see Mike Tyson up there but those 3 are what I’d say are the best
Watching this out of context now, decades after the event, it's difficult to conceive how big this fight was at the time or how momentous the Ali victory.
The psychological ware fare Ali had was special. There has been no one like him since. Imagine being tired throwing your best punches and you hear Ali say “your tired in round 7, theres 8 rounds to go, oh no you finished boy” that would destroy his opponents. Make no mistake his words were his powerful weapon, Forman throwing his big shots the way he does and Ali just talking like he don’t give a fuck and he actually don’t give a fuck cos the punches aren’t landing. He was like the sub tzu of boxing. There’s no doubt he was the greatest boxer ever in history
Muhammad Ali said during the fight : “Look at you, round 7 and you’re tired you have eight more rounds to go, comeone keep punching” (foreman breathing tired), Ali said : “Oh oh this the wrong place to get tired, you finished boy you are in trouble, you don’t have but two choices, slim and none” (Ali talked to Foreman through the whole fight) 😂
I wish they’d put mics over the ring so we could hear what fighters are saying to each other better. Would have been hilarious to hear Ali, because he never shut up during a fight, constantly talking shit to opponents.
Foreman was a great fighter. And even better human being. Came back and won the title in middle age while Ali was shaking in his shoes. And Frazier was running a gym. All three were great fighters. But only one had incredible resilience in his advanced age. What a charismatic guy. And humble.
Yet another jealous white boy who has to stoop so low to belittle a man who was engaged in a battle against Parkinson's disease. Absolutely no class. Just low class.
"round 7, your tired but you still got 8 to go" hearing that figting someone when im used to KO'S would devastate me. Slim and none are the best chances hes gonna get.
ALI, MACCA, PELE: the heroes of my childhood. Today's boxers, musicians and soccer players seem like dwarves compared to those giants. Good times are far long gone....
Possibly the greatest demonstration of his greatness. The fights with Frazier were a demonstration of his will to win when taken beyond exhaustion and eating left hook after left hook all night.... but this fight proved how psychologically gifted he was and how much control he could have over his opponent, if his opponent gave it to him.
I remember when Ali had his jaw wired up. He was still talking smack & taunting through his teeth at the interview 🤣🤣🤣 A uniquely gifted character, out of this world confidence, & electrifying charisma. 😂😂
Fight record speaks for itself most of his opponents were boxings who's who liston,frazier, foreman, lyle,foster,norton,quarry,chuvalo,shavers,williams,patterson.THEGREATEST RIP MUHAMMAD ALI
I watched a clip of Foreman once, and you can actually see this in the fight, where he said hit Ali hard and Ali dropped his gloves and shouted 'Is that all you got?!' and in the interview, George remembered thinking at the time 'Yep.'
For those kids who don't know.....Foreman is the hardest hitting fighter ever....this just goes on to show ho great Ali was
Pretty sure Earnie Shavers was the hardest puncher
@@sidosolo1688 I think so as well , George knows how to hit down using body weight he always destroyed smaller opponents but Earnie just hits like truck no matter who. Ali did beat Earnie as well but i wouldn't reccomend watching it Ali took some serious punishment possibly even some brain damage.
@Sido Solo Its very Arguable
@@CurrentlyOfflinerpossibly?
Most certainly took brain damage
Ali fought the biggest monsters of the 20th century
Liston
Foreman

Ali was overrated Holmes was better and without all the Ali bullshit and Ali would never beat some of the more recent heavyweights this is the usual sentimental Ali crap
You have 8 more rounds to go 😂😂😂 Damnit Ali was so charismatic. I simply can't place what exactly is his strongest attribute.
😂😂agreed
His speed or his jab most likely
Heart
@@Aburner960 I think it was his heart or toughness. The man just wouldn't stay down or stop talking.
Good 😅
Ali trained his mind to be invulnerable to Foreman’s blows. He convinced himself that Foreman could do nothing to hurt him and it worked. The mind is very powerful.
He has also admitted to be out on his feet at least 3 times and threw just enough punches to keep the ref from stopping the fight.
Except Foreman gave Ali permanent brain damage. The will to win at any cost is greater than the body’s ability to absorb that kind of punishment in this case. I mean looking back, it’s not hard to see how Foreman, one of the hardest punchers to ever live, hit so hard he could give people brain damage.

And then he went straight to the hospital where he was pissing blood :D

@@drewski5730No he didn't. Last time I checked, Ali had Parkinson's which was not caused by boxing. Yet you wrote an epistle of inaccuracies!

I'm glad he was born in the time where his words and images will live on longer that he lived. Give us more.
There will never be another as great as Ali 🥊🥊
Ali's power in the Ring is a reflection for his greatness outside the ring... Never seen a man like him, because ive searched a lot with no result

there was once a video in which Ali said "boy, you picked the wrong moment in da fight to get tired" right before the knockout, equally hilarious.
I remember that... not to contradict you, but I think it was "Boy, you picked the wrong place to get tired.:
“You’re fighting your idol” has gotta be the coldest 4 words I’ve ever heard from a fighter
Man. Ali got all up in his head and walked around everywhere in it like he was in a museum.
