Without a doubt the most graceful heavyweight we’ve ever seen. Let me know which other fighters deserve a video in this Mike Tyson inspired Impregnable Defense series.
In the first Liston fight and the Terrell fight, Ali put everything together in the best combination; speed, power, timing, footwork, distance perception, offense, stamina, work rate, composure, and threw it all in a fluid, graceful package.
"still" shouldn't be used. the skill and caliber of boxers of yesteryear are superior to today's. their heart, challenges, classic skills, unique styles, tough lives.
@@supra1722 not sure what you mean if they shouldnt be compared or if their outdated still though it would be interesting to see Ali vs modern giants but Ali outjabed sonny liston who had a bigger reach and i still think his feet were faster than any other heavyweight but im not sure about his handspeed because theres larry holmes, patterson and iron mike who might of had fastter hands.
fighters in that era were more resourceful and creative. Ali was quicker than Holmes. Hard to compare speed of boxers with this style to Tyson and Patterson because one throws longer, straighter shots, and the other throws shorter, more rounded shots and fast hooks at close range.
@@supra1722 larry's jab was pretty fast man but yeah back then fighters found a way in the toughest fights like joe vs ali, and george vs Ali and earnie shavers vs Ali and rocky marciano vs jersey joe jersey joe vs ezzard charles and a lot of archie moore fights Pep was incredible and i dont think we will ever get fighters like they were back then theres no fight trillogies because there are little good fights now
@@ricaldo21pena28 Larry's jab was super stiff, quick, and accurate. Muhammad threw faster combinations. Punches in bunches. Larry was fast but not as fast. He did however throw far more punches with mean intentions, you could see him exert his full body's force into it while Ali hardly did so. I agree, the era of warriors is gone.
My all time favorite.....it's a shame that 1) He lost the "Viet Nam Years" as those would have probably been his best, and 2) That he didn't retire after beating George Foreman. It might not have made a difference long term, but maybe his Parkinson's wouldn't have appeared, or at least not been so severe. It was hard seeing him like that...though he still kept his terrific sense of humor...quite a guy.
If he was never exiled because of Nam he might've retired at 30 in 1972. I heard that's when he wanted to retire. He might've still been with us if that was the case.
Even when they connected, Ali's head was moving backwards, which took the sting out of most punches. The ones that he didn't see coming, are the ones that affected him most, like Joe Frazier's left hooks.
This is a strange video, because Ali had no defense- he never learned how to block punches . His defense was just pulling back, dancing away , or playfully slipping punches .His best defense was his offense …Frazier was the perfect opponent for Ali because his “ defenses” weren’t effective … and as he aged , he took great punishment , because all he knew to do was cover -up and let people pummel him …the result ? Dementia
I never knew Ali to be such a great counter punched in his younger days, I’ve been studying him for years now and I’m just now seeing that bout with Daniels, phenomenal💯 🐐
I used to think that Tyson would have beaten Ali if both were in their primes, but after watching both Tyson and Ali both in their primes. I now believe that Ali would have beaten Tyson in a decision after going 15 rounds. Ali " in his prime " that being BEFORE the layoff of 3 years. Was the best heavyweight ever.
I'm not sure Tyson would've had enough gas to get to Round 15. I think Ali knocks him out in under 10 rounds. I'm a big Tyson fan, but Ali, in the 60s was so much better than any other fighter. Never saw his prime either.
Awesome video man you are 100% ayy bro i know your not free but if you are can you do rare training video of Donavan Radduck anyway glad your really back you have made lots of video these past week god bless you man hope you and your family are safe
Appreciate the kind words and support mate! I've actually got quite a lot of footage of Ruddock, I'll definitely get around to doing a training video of him
I would be very grateful if you did a training montage or a similar video you did about jack Johnson and jack Dempsey about the old mongoose Archie Moore, on of the best light heavy weights of all time And btw, keep doing what you’re doing, love your videos :))
Ali was an incredibly "complete" fighter. Fast hands, fast feet, defense, smarts, stamina, heart -- everything but devastating power. But he was so accurate that his punches added up. I'd say the only other heavyweight who came close having all those attributes was Larry Holmes. (Who also had power). It's a shame Holmes reigned in the shadow of Ali. (who also had the charisma).
New-ish subscriber and love all the great content over here,i have a minor suggestion if you don't mind that is,on videos like this where you name said boxers it would be great if you could also add the date they fought,just the year would be good enough for me if at all possible but if not no problem,might be helpful and liked by other too,One. 😉 Thanks for the great content and hoping you and yours are all safe and well in these strange times we all find ourselves in,with much love and respect from a brotha in the UK,One. 🙏🏾👊🏾💪🏾👍🏾✊🏾🙏🏾
Appreciate the support! Been out of work for a while, but I've recently replaced my computer so now I'm editing again. Shouldn't be too long before I upload again. Stay tuned
(1) One of the top 10 should be the George Foreman fight. (2) Nobody could out box Cassius Clay / prime Ali. (3) Joe Frazier had it right: cut off the ring and brawl. But then there aren't many Joe Fraziers 🙂
A testament to how great his chin was, he took so many blows when this impeccable movement was hampered by inactivity and age yet still triumphed. Legend.
He fought the baddest man on the planet, sonny liston and he could hardly lay a glove on him bar when he had stuff on his gloves to blind him. Master class goat.
When is rainy day boxing coming back, it's been months! Yo, Rainy Day, you should do a training montage on Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) only in his prime when he didn't have in color back then. Just replace all the clips you had for your old Ali Rare Training and just add new Cassius Clay scenes and boom. But that's just a suggestion. hope it a decent idea.
My work laptop completely broke down so I’ve been out of work for a while. My new computer was just delivered to me today so I should return to uploading soon, stay tuned! I do feel I didn’t give the Ali training the justice it deserves as it was the first training video I made, there’s a good chance I’ll make another one for Ali and Foreman.
One of the luckiest people who ever lived was Joe Frazier. Frazier goes down in history as a great boxer, mostly for his defeat of Muhammad Ali. But had Frazier fought Ali before his 3 year layoff, Frazier would have been just another victim Ali dispatched like Chuvalo, Terrell, Cooper and the rest.
Weird how UA-cam can Just Choose which video gets seen and which doesn't, the quality of this video is on par with your others but not nearly as many views. Weird. UA-cam needs to stop messing with content creators lile you SMH
It must have been frustrating for his opponents. Sadly, if they could not control their emotions, they lost psychologically without Ali throwing a punch.
@@adamryamizard5560 Muhammad was 6'3, 3 inch difference. The posture and stance is probably providing that illusion. Ali stood more straight and often leaned back. The face off prior to the fight and during Howard Cossell's interview shows the little bit of height Ernie had on Mohammad.
Ali had amazing physical gifts that allowed him to do what we see here. The problem is that when that physical ability began to decline (as it does with all athletes), he didn't have the boxing skill necessary to compensate. Compare that to Jack Johnson or Joe Louis. They are whom I consider to be the greatest of all time.
What? Ali kept beating almost everyone who challenged him for years after his physicality had declined significantly and even when he did start losing he was never knocked spark out like Johnson and Louis.
the Dokes exhibition is very late in his career (1977) and he had not even trained. out of shape. by that time he was aging, his speech was beginning to show signs of slowing during Norton 3 (1976) press conference. still evaded lightning fast Doke's punches. Dokes was a great prospect and was supposed to be the next heavyweight champion, sad what happened to him.
In his prime 1964-1967 he barely got hit at all. It was only after the racist government took his title and boxing license for almost 4 years. When he returned in the 70s he lost his speed, reflexes, footwork, agility and some stamina. He never came back to what he used to be and took a lot of punishment
Without a doubt the most graceful heavyweight we’ve ever seen. Let me know which other fighters deserve a video in this Mike Tyson inspired Impregnable Defense series.
Floyd Mayweather, Pernell Whitaker, Vasyl Lomachenko.
George Foreman has an impregnable defense.
George Benton,nicolino Locche,Pernell whitaker,Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Nicolino Locche, Pernell Whitaker, James Toney, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr, Canelo, Willie Pep

He was 80 years ahead of it's time, which puts him 20 years ahead of today's heavyweights! The greatest ever!

In the first Liston fight and the Terrell fight, Ali put everything together in the best combination; speed, power, timing, footwork, distance perception, offense, stamina, work rate, composure, and threw it all in a fluid, graceful package.
That split second timing that allowed him to avoid punches was never the same after the layoff.
Yep, fortunate he was also one of the toughest men to ever step in the ring as well as those punches started landing against him. True all time great.

man what he did in his prime was insane back then and still would be insane today
