When women and children young and old use to waite till early hours of the morning thrilled to watch the most charismatic the one and only Muhammad Ali fight👌
I took my wheelchair bound brother to a book signing in Oxford where Ali was promoting his book, he was in a bad way at the time - they both were! My brother had no idea what he was there for. even though he was suffering, Ali stood up and shook my brother’s hand and gave him his book, such a beautiful memory of two beautiful people.
I was 26 years-old, and I'll never forget this fight, or any of Ali's fights. He loved talking trash because he knew it would draw crowds of people wanting to see him get beat. Ali was probably the best thing to ever happen to boxing, and he helped save it because it really was dying. Man, Ali and his mouth injected new life into the sport like you'd never know unless you were there. Ali was also the greatest showman boxing has ever had or will have. He was a gentleman out of the ring, and performed many good deeds he didn't want known. For example, he heard on the news that a nursing home had burned down and people had no place to go. He told his manager to send them a check to build a new home for them, but he didn't want the public to know about it.
I met Check Wepner at a Golden Gloves event at an Armory in Elizabeth, NJ. He might have been a dirty fighter and a bleeder, but he was a gentleman out of the ring.
I would definitely disqualify for hitting behind the head and more. Ali was damaged for life. All this hits are irreversible and a slow but for sure damage any brain. RIP Champ
The ref kept warning Ali about hitting Wepner in the back of the head but not Wepner when he started it. Also they didn't show that Wepner was standing on Ali's foot when Ali went down. It wasn't a knock down.
Respect. Shame on this fight to go on letting this man get hit behind the head. Ali later suffered the damages took from this fight. You don't see instant damage but later...is too late
The Rocky story somewhat parallels the story of Joe Frazier. Frazier worked in a meat warehouse in Philadelphia. His experience there hefting around sides of beef is credited with helping build up his strength to it eventual level.
Wepner was no more than a human punching bag during this entire fight. No defensive boxing skills to speak of, slower than molasses, stationary target, and a dirty fighter. But the man could take a punch, I'll give him that.
The fight that inspired Sly Stallone to write the Rocky movie...It's not about how hard you can hit but about how hard you get hit and get back up again or to those words.
Maybe a couple might but most boxers simply do not workout nearly enough. Not saying they're not in shape, just not the shape boxer's use to train for.
Having known Ali and Chuck Ali had great respect for Chuck and Chuck likewise for Ali! Look at them both at Ali’s birthday party!! Laughing it up and great respect!
@@zakaria1514z For those that accepted him for his word yes. There were many fighters below his weight class that were better boxers. Heavyweight does not mean the best. It takes research to dissmiss Ali's claim. I did this research. Just a few of the boxers that were better....Joe Lewis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Jack Johnson...."who overcame more prejudice than Ali" and Rocky Marciano...."Never Lost"
There was also a elegant white man who boxed who never lost....allthough he himself would loath that term. He was Powerfull, Strong....as handsome....He would not use that term since he was stright. And did I mention he never lost? The Name....Marciano.
I just can't imagine any other boxer going as many rounds as ali... he was a machine,and I can't avoid the comments he spoke of not following his own personal strength in his religion as a reason he didn't win on the times he wasn't victorious. Never heard excuses only I didn't do my part as a boxer and that's what makes him so great to me.
All is the goat on so many levels . Such style and grace ,fluid movement . Ali was mostly a head Hunter hardly any body shots . In his early days he was even faster .A supreme athleat
Marciano was a supreme athleat But unlike Ali he never lost...Overlooked as the best because he was White. That and the fact that people have more video access to ali's film and their is less of it with Marciano....People would have to do research and devote time to study Marciano fight tape and are to lazy to do so.
For those too young to remember it, this was greatest time in boxing. An Ali fight was a world-wide event. Dozens of celebrities crowded his dressing room and many dozens more filled the seats at ringside. I hated him until I met him and found him amiable and funny.
Marciano never lost. Greatest UNDEFEATED Boxer of all time. Joe Lewis...better than Ali....defended his Title 22 consecutive times....Also had his career inturrupted by WW2.....Ali lost to a cocaine addict named Leon Spinks. I'd rank Ali 5th best Heavyweight......Jack Johnson....circa 1910 was better.
Chuck told his wife in the hotel on the day of the fight she'd be sleeping with the world champion after the fight , and after the fight she said " what rooms is Ali in " , chuck was having a laugh of course
If Chuck really laughed, then I can say, he has a good sense of humor.... remember: he's the man who never goes down.... Take care and bee safe...🐸👍🤔🤫🤨😋🐝🐝🐝
one theory is that when Wepner hit Ali hard in the ribs, he had a foot on one of Ali's feet causing him to lose his balance. There is a picture of the knockdown that shows that.
This was a prime example of what Muhammad Ali always said I float like a butterfly sting like a bee. Yeah hands can’t hit what your eyes can’t see. The most entertaining boxer the world has ever known, as well as a world champion.
Ali was and will forever remain as the GOA. Even when under pressure and moving backwards he was still whooping his opponent. Boxing today is but a pale charade in comparison to those World Heavy Weight championships of those long gonedays. I'll never forget watching 'The rumble in the jungle' with my brother and my dad. It was a combat people still talk about. And it was epic because of Ali and only because of him.
I heard Sylvester Stallone say, The Fight of The Century Ali vs Frazier was the inspiration for the first Rocky movie. Frazier boxing out of Philadelphia beating the loud mouth world champion. But to me it doesn't matter! I watched this fight in 75! I remember Webner hitting Ali on the back of his head countless times which is a foul, but the referee never gave Wepner a single warning.
One of the most fascinating and entertaining fights of all time. Wepner clearly lacked training and coaching yet somehow managed to go the distance with Ali...as a punching bag. A rare circumstance where I cannot wish a knockout for either fighter...much respect for both.
@@danielbrown3461 He never did what Ali did though. Forced out of boxing in his prime years and then came back to win the title. Plus he wasn't involved in the same type of epic fights as Ali. Plus Marciano wasn't really a heavyweight. Wouldn't even be a cruiserweight today.
@@JohnVieto Marciano and epic fights....How many fights or opponants can you name that Marciano fought...You have never seen film of marciano fighting have you?....again people don't want to do the research.
Watched it in Madison Square Garden on a big screen they lowered after the in person Norton/Quarry fight . I saw Wepner step on Ali's foot and yelled it out as all the Wepner fans were celebrating . They weren't happy with me .
@@jogman262 Yeah . I had people giving me a problem But , the next day one of the news stations showed a photo from a Cleveland ( I believe ) paper Clearly showing Wepner's foot on top of Ali's as Ali went down .
Solute to both of them, such a tough sport, and tougher opponents, they reached the 15th round, great sportsmen. Especially Ali who was fast even in the last round.
Initially, I was like a lot of people that didn't like Cassius Clay avoiding the Draft, during Vietnam. Then saying he had become Muslim, and changing his name, only appeared to make it look like a convenient excuse, to hide behind his religion ! But I was always a Fan of his Boxing ! Even listening to one of his Fights broadcast on AM radio, back in the day ! Then listening to Muhammad Ali express his knowledge of Islam, I gained great respect for him, as it became clear, he was not hiding, but really embraced it, and was very knowledgeable ! And here was a Man, likely knowing full well the dangers of the Sport, still chose to continue, essentially sacrificing himself, not only for the money, but to entertain, wherever, or whatever he was doing ! Too, if a measure of a Man's Family means anything, then I believe his traditions were carried on, as it seemed none of his Children fell far from the tree ! R.I.P. MUHAMMAD ALI ASSALAMUALAIKUM
The Real Rocky Balboa is Randell Tex Cobb....if you fit him in a movie Role. Cobb a much beter fighter than Wepnar. Cobb could also take more punishment.
Sly took all the glory for this fight and because of Chuck Sly became a millionaire 6x over. Did Sly honor Chuck at the end of "Rocky" acknowledging a tribute to Chuck and who inspired the story of "Rocky"?
To everyone watching this video. Did you all know that Sylvester Stallone was actually there, sitting not too far from the ring watching this boxing match?
The giant of boxing world alwaysssssss sir Muhammad Ali the greatest of all time.whenever the name comes boxing.Muhammad Ali sir's name comes first alwayssssss
Marciano was better....never beaten.....He is often listed behind Ali because he is White and does not fit todays....DEI....Diversity Equity Inclusion. Also....Marciano refused to participte in the Trash Talking Ali did. Norton and Fraisier silenced Ali with a broken Jaw....Marciano never had to be silenced.
🇧🇷 Ele não merecia metade da fama que conquistou , era muito despreparado fisicamente , só lutou contra adversários bem mais fracos que ele e as lutas dele eram muito sem graça.
Muhammad Ali wasn’t close to being the Greatest of All Time!!! Ali ended up Severely Punch Drunk!!! Ali had Severe Brain Damage how is that if he was supposedly the Greatest of All Time!!!
I was 12 years old and remember watching this fight live on ABC. Ali fan for life, he was a special human being. RIP Champ.
That’s when you didn’t hafta pay $89.99 to watch a fight. Wide Wide World of Sports.
He was above average. There were other fighters in lower weight classes that were just as good if not better.
Nobody HAS to pay to watch that CLOWN Ali! You CHOOSE to pay to see him dance around...
Ali was a mouthy overrated middleweight

Dirty fighter for sure. How many lifes he destroyed by hitting them behind the head ? Gentleman ? Nope
@@mariusneumayer4419 I said out of the ring.
Except when he was drinking
no clinching no holding he is most honest boxer gentleman

The precision of Ali's punches is outstanding,
Best boxer that has ever lived. Speed and dance around. Just too good for everyone in his prime.
I saw this fight in 1975 what a brawl! ! I never was a Ali fan but after this fight...All Ali! Das 😎 all! Thanks for the memories Champ 🏆 ❤️ 🥊 🥊
Ali - champion of hearts ❤
😂😂😂 he was a mouthy disrespectful shame to the sport.
This had to be one of the sorriest refs. in boxing history!
I would definitely disqualify for hitting behind the head and more. Ali was damaged for life. All this hits are irreversible and a slow but for sure damage any brain. RIP Champ
Why? Wepner said before the fight...I cut...I bleed...I get hit...don't stop the fight because of it!
I will win! 15th round Das 😎all! 👍❤️🥊🥊
Correct...behind the head was a fowl! That sucked! Das 😎 all! 👍🥊🥊

Thank you I'm glad u said it!! He was probably pulling for the dirty, limited wepner
That was so amazing battle! Ali is real champion! He is the strongest warrior ever!
WOW. AMAZE. CHUCK WHAT A WARRIOR

Got lucky enough to meet Chuck at the opening of his movie in New York. Absolutely a class act. I wish I could have met Ali also.

I like Wepner's strategy of blocking punches with his face
You are my man

Cumulative. Stood on his foot as I recall.
Exactly my friend you have a great eye!! Ali had more than wepner to fight.... the 3rd man in the ring was against him and those in the audience
I styled my boxing career around Ali, though I only Golden Gloved, I thank Ali whole heartedly.

Yeah...I agree! Ali was nice too.
I did hear that this fight was the inspiration for the film 'Rocky' it does seem plausible.
My opinion ............ Mike Tysons first 5 years played out like the Rocky movie Even Mick died & CusDamato also. So many similarities
The Rocky story somewhat parallels the story of Joe Frazier. Frazier worked in a meat warehouse in Philadelphia. His experience there hefting around sides of beef is credited with helping build up his strength to it eventual level.
Who cares what inspires a blockhead
Wepner was no more than a human punching bag during this entire fight. No defensive boxing skills to speak of, slower than molasses, stationary target, and a dirty fighter. But the man could take a punch, I'll give him that.
And Ali couldn’t put him away.
Actually he could take a lot of punches and he did.
@@billm3706Ali won by Knockout, how did he not put Chuck away 😂
What’s amazing that chuck lasted as long as he did … it takes a lot to stand up to Ali ..

Boxing is one sport where a guy like Chuck could get just destroyed but by showing more heart and guts than most, still came away with respect.
Rocky Marciano 49-0-0 still the only undisputed undefeated Heavyweight Champion of all time and 43 of the 49 wins came by KO no one even comes close.
Marciano was undefeated because he fought the shadow of Joe Louis. Other history would have been with the bomber in his prime
if wagners punches connected he may have gone alot closer
Wepner reminds me of the boxer in Jack London's wonderful and compelling short story 'A piece of Steak'.
Take a look at the speed of Ali in the 15.round unbelievable.
