If you look up at the night sky, you'll see a great number of fighters still travelling from a George Foreman uppercut!
😂😂😂😂🤗🤣🤣🤣🤣
Qwqq
🤔
Lol. So that's what I saw flying by that mid summer night!
😆😆 Right
Trainer's jump for joy at 1:29 cracked me up😂😂, no pun intended
lmaooo😂
Lol, fucking saw that. "Wild plumber appears"
😭😂😂😂
Cause People forget that Tommy Morrison was unstoppable at one point..
It made me “crack” up
The Foreman walk up punch at 8:39 was just beautiful!
that's my fave of all time.
George said of Ali, “The fact that he didn’t hit me on my way down made him a great man to me!”👍
Foreman's walk-up uppercut on Cooney is the most gangster thing I've ever seen.
Straight bid'ness!
The coldest.
Big G was movin like he had something on the grill that needed flipping....
@@DarcMarc1066 - Yeah, a George Foreman grill.
That’s the “you don’t belong here” walk. Kind of reminds me of what Wilder did to Bermane Stiverne
George was a wrecking ball. Just walk in and do damage. It's like he goes in without protecting himself and just thinking "if u hit me lucky u, but if I hit u .... lights out"
EXACTLY!!!
Great comment
😂😂😂
Then Jimmy Young came and made George an amateur with his defence
Yes Sir ! That man could make me buy a grill.😄
"Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee!" Great ending! Damn, Ali was lightning quick!
"I wrestled an alligator, I done tusseled with a whale, I handcuffed lightning and thrown thunder in jail."
@@someonesomewheredoingsomething "you know I'm bad, just last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitilized a brick, I'm so mean, I make medicine sick."
I felt like Forman was the exact opposite a tank that might move a bit slower but just destroys everything in its path.
I love this type of compilation, no extra talking, explanations or back story, just a bunch of KOs back to back
Just watch Ali. His peak, before the military suspension, was just a thing of beauty. Speed, skill, power, footwork, instincts..all 10/10. He was still great later on, but those early years? We'll probably never see that combo of skills again.
Could not agree more . When comparing the greats people always forget that we never actually saw Ali's best years as they were taken from him. When he came back he was great but a shadow of what he was before. And even then he still came out on top in what was undoubtedly the golden era of heavyweights. Ali in his absolute prime is just insane and no heavyweight yet could live with that.....
Free free by
Robbed of his prime years, too.
Some people are a natural, they can read the boxing ring and opponents...
If you see every fighter in this video they all had similar abilities, Ali clip was completely different. He was from another universe, the GOAT.
I love how smooth george Formans punches are. His timing is impeccable.
Indeed it was; his timing and accuracy were so great, it completely made up for any hand speed he may have lacked.
Commentators were absolutely right - Foreman didn’t waste a punch. Some guys just start flailing, figuring something will land. I think Foreman might have missed just once, and even that one helped set up the next one.
That George Foreman step thru uppercut was UNREAL
Ajagba was absolute class when he put that boy on the mat. No showboat, no celebration, just matter of fact waiting, no ego.
Foreman is remembered more as the lovable old man with the amazing story of redemption, but young George Foreman was perhaps the most menacing boxer of all time
Mean thug like Debo on Fridays lol. He was an 😠 man back then lots of respect for George.RIP ALI AND FRAISER.
At one time we thought Wilder could have taken that most menacing slot, but his difficiences got so exposed against Fury that I think George Foremans position as most menacing is safe for a few more years to come
George Foreman ranks either first or second...Sonny Liston scared even George according to George himself.
@@rogermckamey8299 lol
@@rogermckamey8299 Yes, but it was young George
How did Mike Tyson not make this list? He has a Top 10 of his own
That's because. He'll fill this list alone.
BWAAAAHAHAHAHA.....I only clicked on the comments to see the Tyson fanboys
Looks like top rank only
thats what i was thinking
Go to Chiseled Adonis...he has like Mike's whole career...
Watching Ali set his feet up to deliver those combinations is without doubt the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in boxing.
13:37 that straight right hand from Ali while moving backwards is just Incredible. How many men of his size do you see that can or ever have moved like that? He truly was one of a kind.
Ali knock your ass out dancing Ba kwards😂
The Foreman KO of Cooney is absolute devastation. And effortlessly smooth
That slide up uppercut was disgusting
Bruh that was the smoothest walk up uppercut I’ve ever seen in life 😭
I've heard of a drive-by, but that was a walk-by uppercut
Seriously one of the best.
Did Morrison have aids at this point? Bent ain’t draw blood but still scary
Foreman with that walk-in uppercut...DAMN!!
Foreman and Ajagba dammmmmn
He seems unstable but dangerous.
Blasted him
Them heavy hands
If you don't, sit yo ass down!
Ali just looked different. The way he moved and weaved in and out with that incredible footwork. In combination with his power, well never see that again in our lifetime
I love this type of compilation, no extra talking, explanations or back story, just a bunch of KOs back to back 👏
No time to pack the bong
Foreman is top 3 in my book. The guy was an absolute monster in his prime. His hands were sledgehammers. What an era of boxing that was. True heavyweights. Amazing that much talent saturated that time. What a great time for boxing!
100% agree, coming back and recapturing the title at 45 was nuts.
the heavyweight division of the 1970's was rivalled by the middleweight division in the early 80's
@@UltimaPowers 45. He is born 10th of January 1949, just like me!
@@torvilasulvstle362 Ah thanks for the correction and Happy 73rd Birthday for the 10th!
@@UltimaPowers Thanks!
Peace to you and your house!
That Foreman uppercut was beautiful! Have mercy!
Mannn that dude foreman..gahhdamn
🥴😂That Uppercut was Terrifying
Foreman had no respect for Cooney anyway. And to make it worse, after that count, Cooney was barely able to hold his gloves up. Foreman waded in like a seasoned shopper on Black Friday and closed the deal.
Foreman Is so mutch experience.👍👍👍👍Is gud
@@topgrain 🤣🤣
@9:33 One of the coolest punches ever… the “no look” uppercut!
Old boys mouthpiece flew like a flying saucer.
Foreman landing that uppercut, side step(gangster) and right effortlessly. A thing of beauty.
Jefferson's short left hook in a barely standing state is a testament to why you NEVER drop your defense and think you have it won, and why you never stop fighting. You have to always think about your next opportunity and swing.
He was about to go down and had one last bullet in the wheel and was able to connect when he took his shot. If he would've missed, the next decent punch would've put him down.
That's was exactly what i was thinking he was going down and then BAM gets that last nice punch in.
Right off the bat that George Foreman power is SOOO unbelievable! It was such a nonchalant punch, lazily tossed out there, with no expectation of it doing much damage, although this was coming off a knockdown I mean just look at the way that his head was turned, looking away as it landed, until he heard the audience's collective gasp so he snaps his head back around to look for the reason that caused the crowd to react the way it did. He sees his opponent frozen in place, like a statue, so he then tries to land a "haymaker" which was clearly not necessary because he was already on the way to the canvas! If it hand landed cleanly he probably would have killed the guy!
Edit - I should mention Gerry Cooney, the guy who got knocked out, didn't have an amazing chin but I think it's safe to say that he was considered to have had a "better then average" chin. His downfall was that his defense was lacking and he rarely tried to clinch when he got hurt. He was brought along too fast and I think he truly believed that his incredible left hook gave him his best chance to win rather then trying to clinch, and defend, until he got his head clear! I think that had he had a better team of handlers he would've become the, "Great White Hope" that everyone expected him to become! One of the best Heavyweights to never win a world title belt. He had a record of 28-3 (24 KOs) when he retired. His 3 losses were to Larry Holmes, in 1982 for the WBC Title (he was 25-0) - Michael Spinks, in 1987 for a lineal world title (he was 28-1) - George Foreman in this fight in 1990 (he was 28-2). He also didn't fight very often, due to injury issues and poor management!
What a beautiful moment for Michael Bentt. Even the moon came out and shined for him inside the arena at 1:29. You can see it clearly on the left-hand side.
😂
🌚
I was looking for a comment about it 😂
Is anyone not gonna talk about how we could see this coach buttcrack?
That Bentt moment is legendary, a real life Rocky moment for sure! Tommy had him in deep trouble, but then his prey bared his fangs and came back at him with such power and heart. What. A. Comeback.
Ajagba literally gave that man a video game red bar power punch! 😂
The guy folded like a newspaper
Ready to rumble round 2 Bill Clinton style
Ali was phenomenally good. He literally picked a spot and connected. Crazy, crazy hand speed, accuracy, defense and skill. He was in a class of his own.
He was the Carlos Hathcock of the heavy weights then and now and maybe for any weight division. Cat like speed with insane accuracy even when moving laterally. May God have mercy on his soul. 👍☮️
In his prime, which he was when he fought Cleveland Williams, he was virtually untouchable.
Like Sugar Ray Leonard , the fastest hands I ever saw
I'm sorry but ali was the most complete fighter of all time in my eyes. Hand speed crazy. One of his opponents said his punches really stung. Power and speed? Dont get better than that. And not to mention his footwork . Cant hit what u cant see
We were fortunate to have see Ali .
Foreman’s punches were devastating, hardly any backswing but thrown with evil intent. What a powerhouse he was
Mad respect to Williams though. He ate everything Ali was throwing and still stood back up a lot of times. That's heart.
That Ijagba knockout was devastating. The punch sounded loud enough to knock his opponent’s head off.😡
No be juju be that???
@@ZookaTG whatchu talking bout Willis? 🤔
Corkscrewed him into the canvas. Just like Foreman did to Cooney.
I always love watching that uppercut/hook Foreman drilled Cooney with. And the right hand that seemed to literally drill him into the canvas. So damn smooth. Reminds me of the Smash punch of Ruddock, and also Margarito's punch vs. Cotto in both fights. Foreman actually drilled Holyfield with that shot a couple of times and even the 208lb Holyfield didn't go anywhere. One of the greatest chins of all times. Holy said he went to his corner and asked, "did he knock all my teeth out? I think all my teeth fell out?" And his corner said, "Nah Real Deal, you're fine", but Holy said, "i know they'll tell you anything in your corner to get you to keep fighting, so I was still convinced I had no teeth". Ha. What a tough SOB.
Marciano's KO of Walcott was pretty good too! LOL
Man! That Foreman uppercut was so gangster! How he fainted, how he delivered, how he gave the last punch and all of this completely stoic. Wonderful.
Brutal.
The word is "feinted"; "fainted" is when somebody passes out. No offense I hope.
had him looking like dirty laundry lol.
@@counterstriving Foreman feinted,
and Cooney fainted,
cuz Foreman’s uppercut, left Cooney’s shorts tainted.
Idk
@@robertdevito5001 Nice.
8:40 😭😭😭😭 George meant business. You could tell by the walk. Dude was NOT playing around 😂😂😂
Beautiful Knockouts!!! Beautiful
Masterpiece ever. Great
Foreman at 40 was an absolute tank. Slow but sturdy and powerful.
That part fam
He changed his way of fighting cause he knew his age and speed would be a factor..
When Foreman beat Cooney, Foreman was 40/41. I'm 46 now and do everything to avoid contact. George was still boxing professionally at my age. Hell he won a title in his mid 40's. I heard about his street fights as a teen in Houston's 5th ward against full grown men.
LoL same, I remember when i was 19 and Foreman won the title in 1994, I thought I hope i age like him. I doubt anyone could do what George did and even today in his 70's I wouldn't get in the ring with him
Lol that fixed load of crap ???
@@zaidkhan-uq2bk no disrespect for Foreman, but a Lennox, both Klitschko brothers and many others would also beat Michael Moorer at age 45.
I'm 46 and fell down on the sidewalk last week, took me 10 minutes to get up
@@knockup100 No.
Ali’s pinches seem straight out of a movie, they’re so straight clean and direct man.
A great video!
Thanks for the replays from several angles.
Big George power was CRAZY. Doesn't even look like he swinging with a lot of energy. I can only imagine what the shots he really put energy behind felt like.
Peak Ali was just beautiful to watch.
Fluid, smooth, entertaining excellent timing of when to massage you with punches and when to throw a precise bombardment.
RIP Muhammad Ali. My favorite All Time Boxer, hands down.🙏🙏
Ali's accurate punches... no more words needed 🥊
Ali in his prime was a magnificent boxer. Practically untouchable.
He took some shots.
Absolutely he made boxing more popular. He said what he meant and meant what he said
Ali king of boxing
Only one boxer, Rocky Marciano, to rival Ali and perhaps surpass him. 49-0 is hard to beat after all.
@@waynebuckland7879 It's not that hard to beat, actually. It's simply about careful matchmaking, if you know how boxing really works. A manager, promoter, trainer and matchmaker all get together to decide who their fighter is best-suited to face next. If someone is deemed too dangerous, you avoid them and choose the next guy ranked below or further below, etc. And it carries on like that until you get to a title shot. Marciano was 42-0 when got his shot against Jersey Joe Walcott but the only name on his record was a washed-up Joe Louis and a lucky decision over Roland LaStarza.
Brian Nielsen got to 49-0 just by facing a combination of bums and has-beens, while turning down a WBC title shot against Lennox Lewis.
That ajagba’s KO I felt it while watching
Foreman's walk by uppercut is a thing of beauty. #1 in my book.
Same! So stylish shot
I gotta give respect to Williams! Ali was swinging so fast I didn’t know what was going on either! 😂
I like how the ref grabbed Foreman after that last punch as if he was saving the opponent 😂
He was trying to save the guy's life!
That George Foreman uppercut was such a clean and non-telegraphed shot. Anybody would have slept if caught with that.
Muhammad Ali at his peak was unbeatable. Greatest agility ever seen in the division, one of the greatest chins ever, the greatest jab ever, and excellent knockout power in his own right. If only he didn't have his prime years taken away because of the suspension.
Love to see these amazing fight thank u bro
The foreman uppercut #1 all time. The form, the swagger in his walk, that KO was the pinnacle of KOs
The Foreman grill... :). . .
If you can find it, there's one Joe Louis laid on Two-Ton Tony Galento that picked that big boy up on his tiptoes. That's my favorite.
Check out Wilders KO on stirvene , the 2nd fight
Gangster AF. Let’s go Brandon!
@@saltyzu8412 Who's Brandon?
How is Mike Tyson not in this video? He's the KING of knockouts!!
Because Tyson's KO's were in a class by themselves.
Wonder if the guy who's jaw got broken by Mike is finally eating solid food.
No, he's not.
Sonny Liston is the king of knockout
Where’s lennox, he done some damage
That Jefferson KO while he was about to go down himself haha, beautiful. Just one last full punch
Ali’s vs Williams, Ali definitely style looks from a different era at that time so advance and the footwork. Unreal 🐐
Foreman walked up to cooney like he was taking a stroll in the park! That left was one of the best punches ever landed by any great heavyweight. George was a devastating force in TWO whole separate careers ten years apart, both ending in being champion of the world. Incredible feat that will never be seen again.
Edit- robbed by the bent judges against Shannon Briggs in one of the biggest robberies ever seen in boxing.
IMHO George Foreman is the heaviest hitter of all time. Some were faster and more explosive. But no one hit with a heavier thump than Foreman.
@@jeffbaril548 I agree! He had the kind of power that would ‘shift’ a guy across the ring a few feet from s body shot.
Ali 3 times champion, also different era’s. But george indeed is one of the greatest
@@noahcasa7917 oh I am very sure Ali was the greatest heavyweight of all times. Big George has to be a close second simply by the huge feats he achieved in two whole separate careers a whole decade apart. It’s incredible. 👍💥🥊
@@BottleBri how he changed as man and humbled himself after the rumble is great. For me most def one of the greatest, its not just about achievements inside the ring 💪🏼
Big George is always a beast!
I swear i miss keith Jacksons smooth talking delivery style. He could broadcast any sport and make it sound like a poetry reading 😊
Thought they’d be Marciano on Jersey Joe Walcott on here. That’s was devastating
It's just the ones available from Top Rank's video library.
Foreman’s left upper cut was delivered like a drive-by!
sent Cooney to Morpheus, same day shipping.
😂😂😂 delivered a package Cooney didn’t order
I'm telling you these old school old timers are as tough as you can imagine. Took Ali few knockdowns and Williams still on his feet. Golden Age of boxing.
Ali was such a beautiful and charismatic boxer.
@@ytsux9259 yes indeed......ua-cam.com/video/0VC3-pM-KhQ/v-deo.html
George Foreman, Joe fraizer and Muhammed Ali... The world has never had such big guys anymore.
Fury is 6,9
The 3 ♑️
Foreman hit Frazier with a similar uppercut. Astonishing how tough Joe was, being able to get up from similar punishment and more.
I've never seen someone throwing so effortlessly and yet with so much power as Foreman used to.
Hell the gap between what you expect in your brain and what actually happens is absurd.
All arm power too.Rarely used his legs.
When the box was an art, technic and courage, not violence, midia and money only.
Foreman chopped wood to add that extra thump after each punch. The combination of deceptive speed, heavy handed weight shifting power and experience was all George Foreman.
Foreman I feel had arguably the heaviest punch. In his prime, he was out to hurt you permanently. Ali had his number though.
@@JamesinAZ I think Foreman probably did lasting damage to Ali though. Even though Ali won that fight, he probably lost the war eventually.
George Foreman will forever be my favourite. His walk-in left uppercut is my favourite KO of all time.
you really made us see number 9 for sure . all the angles of a not so magnificent KO. BRAVO
"down like a redwood" Cracked me up! -dc
Foreman was already selling grills at this point, somebody should of told homie too guard his grill
Definitely a perfect ending to the ranking. Just look at Ali's knockdown. He knocked the guy down walking backwards all while his opponent is walking towards him. His accuracy and power is on point.
Muhammed Ali A Legend
Watching Alì after seeing Tyson Fury it's like drinking a glass of Dom Perignon after an orange juice
@@interplanetariamente fury would beat ali
I like how Ali is respectful to the opponent
1:29 A great man once said, "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, look at my crack as I pull up my tee".
If that uppercut from foreman brought Cooney down without adding that extra one, as he crossover, that would automatically be added in Guinesss book as the most badass KO of a lifetime
George Foreman! What a beast, long live GF, one of the best ever!
Love those Ali fights, all of em
Foreman uppercut was a piece of art
George foreman uppercuts hit like a nothing I've ever seen before. The power is just ridiculous
Lennox Lewis vs Hasim Rahman 2 knockout was one of the most beautiful one two knockouts I've ever seen.
6:56, what a knockout out of nowhere 😱😱😱
That Foreman uppercut reminds me of Terence Crawford when he came in the beginning of a round and dropped Kavaulaskis with one shot- brilliant!
The foreman uppercut is just so great! Its almost as if he just did it in passing
The George Foreman uppercut & over the top slammer combo ko.. such deadly finishing power
Wow !
Great video, Ray Mercer knocked out Tommy Morrison too in the most brutal way, should have been on the list as well
The 6th knockout should be number one. I don’t care how good the fighter was but that knockout is the most power and vicious shot iv ever seen. Just gives me chills watching it.
This whole video could have have been Tyson knocking people out
Or Foreman. Or Sugar Ray Robinson. Or Jake LaMotta. Or Marvin Hagler, or dozens of others...what's your point?
The Tyson fanboys are really boring.
@@moebetta4224 Marvin Hagler had one punch knockout power?
@Lov Mir you my friend, need some serious work on your spelling and syntax, wow!
@@mollkatless lmao!!! 😂🤣😂
@@moebetta4224 which tyson are you guys on about, Mike or fury ?
That Weaver-Tate ko reminded me of EA Sports Fight Night games and getting in the extra smacks while the opponent's body frozen in time is making their way down to the canvas. Also surprised the ref even bothered counting as long as he did with that man's soul resting in another dimension
he let that man fall flat on his face unconscious and continued to give him the entire 10 count. Ahh the good ol days
I'll never understand that from boxing refs. You just saw that man's soul get sent to the shadow realm... The fuck you counting for? Call that man as knocked out and get him some fuckin help lol!
Excellent video
Big George's uppercut is art!
Beautiful ~~~What a punch!
No Mike Tyson knockouts. Pls tell me the guy that put this together was fired or at least demoted.
Exactly...how can you have a list like this without Tyson?? Lol
🙌🏽🤣
My exact sentiment, Tyson had some of the most devastating knockouts in the history of the sport.. You could have 10 knockouts just from Tyson alone..
@ KoolHandDuke. Yes totally unacceptable not to have Tyson on this list. Also Sugar Ray Leonard’s ko of Davey Boy Green is top 3 on anybody’s list too.
Seriously
At N.6 I was like: "Wait what?! Is there better than this?" ....and yes there is!
Big George always accurate with the finishing punches
I remember Weaver knocking out Tate in the 15th when it had pretty much been Tate all the way. What a shocker that was.
What was tats doing the ropes
Yeah I remember watching that fight.
I watched it live also (On regular TV). I was 10 and you're right, completely one-sided until the KO.
@@dalethomas2434 waiting to get knocked out. The fix was in. Lol.
Some say Ali's performance against Cleveland Williams was his finest hour. Cleveland was a very capable fighter.
That fight took place after Williams was shot in the stomach. Not to take anything away from Ali, but its hard to say that that was Williams at his best
@@mrmatthews6315 They say a “shot in the arm” is a booster of energy, affording the recipient more vim and vigour. I can only assume a shot in the stomach bestows similar properties.
@@trinkabuszczuk6138 Didn't he mean literally shot? Like by a gun?
Ali (Cassius Clay) looked really good against Floyd Patterson also.
@Trinka Buszczuk Yes... I believe Bert Sugar made that statement.

That George Foreman uppercut was beautiful and brutal. Amazing!
Poor Cooney. He was a great fighter but in a historically epic division. HIs only three losses were to Spinks, Holmes and George's amazing uppercut. Now that is some decent competition
Agreed
If only Gerry had liked to fight.
He fought in one of the toughest divisions in boxing at the time.. Much respect!
He’s lucky he never fought Tyson
Big George had some nasty power.
The way Ali picked that man apart effortlessly floating in and out of range as he liked was a vintage demonstration of the sweet science.🔥🔥
Burst out laughing watching this, this guy sold his defense before the fight or he should have, his face just keeps this look that says "the fuck is happening right now?"
@@bradleykinnell6435 he had absolutely nothing to do. Every time he tried to create distance and reset his rythm, Ali simply floated over with vicious combinations. When he tried to retaliate he was either met with a counter or Ali simply floated just out of range. Ali was the simply unstoppable in his prime.
Truly a man born for the sport, never watched the Williams fight in full
