- LEGENDARY BOXERS Explain How Good Muhammed Ali REALLY Was At Boxing!
Everybody knows Muhammad Ali was good. But was he the greatest? Muhammad was a very influential figure in the world. When the people gathered at the stadium, Muhammad Ali could get them to do anything. That's how much praise they had for him. This boxing legend was a genius in his craft and used his fighting skill to make a mockery out of boxing legends like Frazier, George Foreman and Larry Holmes who were a lot bigger than him.

Talking about Muhammad Ali is the only time you see Mike get emotional besides his kids. You feel the love and respect he has for this man.
And when he talks about Cus
Idiot he cries talking about cus and even himself.
I do remember when Iron Mike said. "Ali didn't have a good defense. He never threw a body shot in his life" ... I think the blow back for those comments made Mike change his tune. Everybody wants to be popular and if it takes slinging BS -- there's a time to be a politician.
Cus over everything though
@@bgt2848 Cus D'Amato was the greatest matchmaker ever. His system got Tyson a title shot at 20 and Patterson a title shot at 21. Cus would get on the phone and secure matchups on a date certain. He'd have 2 backup opponents ready in case his 1st choice of opponent fell through for whatever reason. He taught his system to Jimmy Jacobs, who was also great, but died when Iron Mike was very young. Cus said, "Seventy percent of success in Boxing is matchmaking. A boxer not only needs the right fights, but he needs the right fights in the right order." he was good at that. "If you don't own a world title you should have a fight lined up. You take more punches sparring than you do fighting. If you're skilled enough you could fight every day, so why not twice in a month?"
When it comes to the physical, Mr. Ali was a heavyweight, but, had the speed and reflexes of a middleweight. That is a devastating combination.
Absolutely CORRECT
Ali was flashy rather than fast. Flashy is making many unnecessary motions for showmanship. Ali has the worst punch stats of any noted heavyweight champion as proven in the very important and well documented book "Muhammad Ali: By The Numbers"
Ali got trapped on the ropes often and took severe punishment from Norton, Spinks, Frazier, Holmes, and other guys who outpunched Ali by wide margins -- including opponents who were robbed by the judges such as Young, Shavers, Jones, and Norton in 2 fights.
Usyk is a much more efficient puncher and masterful defender, who never gets trapped on the ropes. He bullied much bigger, stronger, and taller 6'5" X 233 Daniel Dubois around the ring and stopped him in 9 rounds. He outboxed 2-time Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua, who is younger, and stands 6'6" X 245, twice. Ali never faced specimens of that size and strength.
@@bobgarrett7134 Ali would beat usyk, AJ and dubois at the same night lmao.
@@SouthpawsRule217 Daniel Dubois would KO Ken Norton and Leon Spinks on the same night... Anthony Joshua would KO Ali and Doug Jones on the same night. Jones was a light heavyweight who beat Ali's ass. The boos on that decision rained down non-stop.
@@bobgarrett7134 Yeah only for showmanship. ONLY I AM THE CORRECT CRTIC OF BOXING EVERYONE ELSE IS A FOOL. ONLY WHAT I LIKE IS THE BEST I AM DIFFERENT.
Ali was not just good. He was beautiful.
He moved beautifully
He brought a lot of aesthetics and popularity to heavyweight boxing
He looked fragile, because he was so agile but in fact he could finish a match with a broken chin and win it too.
He was like a luxury sportscar
Elegant but also very strong and withstanding
Well said and well OBSERVED
mf writing a poem?
Ali was a good looking man in a baby faced way. He certainly wasn't that popular. Many people celebrated Joe Frazier's and Ken Norton's wins over Ali. Many didn't like the braggart and loved it when he got his just deserts, like the broken jaw from Norton. Joe Louis vs Max Baer pulled 88,000 fans into Yankee Stadium for a non-title fight. Only about 19,000 people showed up for Ali-Norton III in Yankee Stadium. Bob Arum bitched about it. Norton landed 87 more punches than Ali landed and the officials were corrupt as hell.
@@bobgarrett7134number 1 ali hater lol
@@zka3l Not at all. I always liked Ali. He tried hard to be skilled. He had some interesting views on race, religion, politics, women, and society in general. He wasn't shy. He came right out with shocking stuff. He wasn't that popular because of some of his views. It's good to hear ideas that don't match your own. I was interested in Boxing and he was a topic of conversation.
George Foreman is considered one of the hardest punchers ever in boxing. He pounded Ali relentlessly for 6-7 rounds and Ali took that punishment. Ali let George punch himself out then he unleashed on big George knocking him out. Ali use to fight 15 rounds. Old school boxers use to fight more rounds and more often. Ali was something special.
George was drugged. Ali already had the beginning of Parkinson's
@@joemarshall4226😂 drugged
@@joemarshall4226 ...False!
@@brucescott4261 ua-cam.com/video/dOFFI0o0DaQ/v-deo.html this is Foreman talking about the drugging. Check out Ali's voice at 22 compared to when he was 31, and you can hear the difference. It was the start of his Parkinson's
Go back and watch that fight again. Ali was tagging George early, and often, and once Ali knew His punch’s was hurting George, George lost all the sting in His punches. Fight was over after that!
Ali was not only the "Greatest" because of his boxing skills, but also because of his sharp mind, wit, and his steadfast beliefs that he adhered to in a time of cultural turmoil and war which resulted in him being banned from his craft in the prime of his career. Ali never wavered or compromised just to continue his profession.
And he was a beloved humanitarian out of the ring who gave his heart to anyone who needed it.
When you think about Muhammad Ali, you need to also think about everything he was OUTSIDE of the ring as well.
I could not have said it any better Paul!
Arrogance is distasteful but when Ali does it, it feels sweet.
cus he can back it up
@@sodpatinot just that he could back it up, his trash talking was funny and colourful with no swear words.
Ali took boxing from a sport to a art form
this is a good comment
Iㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤagreeㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤwithㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyou
so very well put
What makes it even more scary is we never got to see Muhammad Ali at his best. Angelo Dundee put it like this, "What we got was good, but we never saw what he could have become." Ali's best years should have been 1967-1970. We, fans, were cheated.
Talking about Muhammad Ali makes me feel the Champion he was, the respect and Love the World has for Him. Continue testing in Peace Legend
A heavyweight with speed n footwork.. RIP GOAT..
You can hear the sadness in his voice 2:19 as he talks and remembers ali, he truly loved him
Wasn’t mike quoting what someone else said? Who was the boxer who said that?
Yeah true
Thank you for memories and inspiration Muhammad Ali. Rest in Peace Muhammad Ali .The greatest.
Foreman nailed it. Calling Ali the greatest boxer was a put down. He transcended the sport as a larger than life inspiration to generations.
I like Mike a lot. I grew up with Ali…listening to his fights, watching his fights. He was the Beatles of boxing. Yes I’m old now but Mike deserves all the respect in the world. He’s fought and learned to be a better man to this day. Gotta love him.
0:35 Ali says "I was a dancing Master." Not I was a dancing monster.
MUHAMMAD ALI WAS THE ELVIS OF BOXING. NOBODY CAN COME CLOSE TO HIS CHRISMA, PERSONALITY, CHARM, AND HEART TO BE THE GREATEST. IT WAS HIS "SOUL & HEART" THAT HE FOUGHT WITH. WHEN ELVIS SANG HE SINGS WITH HIS SOUL AND ALL HIS HEART. BOTH MEN MADE OUR WORLD BETTER. I MISS THEM BOTH VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! THE REST OF US ARE JUST MORTALS, THESE TWO WILL LIVE FOREVER.
LOL!.....Elvis 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Elvis , opened R&R , but bc of black people!! Ali is ALI bc he did more for the WORLD!!
BEATLES
Eh
@@RedClemthere's no competing with your articulate and descriptive critique of my opinion, sir i salute you..
I am 58 years old. I saw the rumble in the jungle live. Before school. It was the most amazing thing. What I didn't know,as a child was the hardship,and difficulty that Mohammed Ali,had been through in life ,let alone his career,just to be there. Ali helped almost all the boxers he fought. And was truly a standard to live up to. Go champ. Your in our hearts and minds. Forever.
The pure love and respect Mike has for Ali (the G.O.A.T)... it's just another level altogether.
2 true greats ❤
yeah ,great time when fighters respect each other not just trash talking like now
:-)
God Damn when Mike said "he's not like us".
Oh Muhammad. You are gone but not forgotten. May your grave be spacious, full of light, perfume and may you questioning be easy. SIP. Innalilahi wa innalilayhi rajiuun 😊
Ali was and still greatest❤🎉
“I am the greatest! I said that before I even knew I was!” Muhammad Ali
My Dad grew up in Wartime England, being bombed in the Blitz every night. Every night the sirens went off, my Dad would grab his younger sisters and his neighbours and run them down to the shelter, then go out and help the firemen and policemen dig the survivors and the bodies from the blasted buildings. My Dad was a communist, an engineer, not a fighter. But he told me back in the late 80's when I was a kid, that Muhammed Ali was the greatest man ever to fight. Not the greatest boxer, not the greatest athlete, but the GREATEST MAN ever that he'd known of.
Ali showed a picture of Shavers bald head on TV. He asked: "Do you know what this is?" This is an acorn and I'm going to crack this acorn in the Garden.
The greatest ever, he defeated all the greats one after another, there’s no one like him
There never will be again either. Modern heavyweights don’t fight regular enough, and they don’t fight the toughest competition either. Ali fought everyone! Even fighters that gave him a hard time, he rematched them. Truly the greatest heavyweight ever!
Part of Ali's undeniable greatness was his quality of character. He might have won a lot of boxing matches when he wasn't allowed in the ring, but he was busy at the time- fighting a much bigger fight. It's why he will always be the GOAT, regardless of wins/ losses with gloves on. It's when the gloves came off that we saw Ali at his greatest.
Mohamed Ali was the Arabian to the Horses, he had speed, endurance and intelligence. Add to it his charisma, wit and respect, its hard for any sportsman never mind a boxer to come even close to him.
Muhammad Ali fought with pure grace. I’ve never seen any other boxer in the history of boxing to fight with the grace that Ali had. The grace along with his cat like reflexes in his prime were truly something to behold.
Gotta love Big George Foreman. That huge smile and graciousness
Ali was the best heavyweight ever. Toughest, fastest, best footwork, range, combinations, chin, the whole lot. Personality was great too. Tyson knows his boxers.
Precisely
Gave me goose bumps,Such Respect I salute 🫡 This
Mr. Tyson is arguably the most knowledgeable person regarding the art of boxing. 😊
god young tyson being so respectful to ali warms my heart
and i just realized that ive never seen tyson shed tears before.
Muhammed Ali paved the way for these brothers.Ali drew the crowds for boxing.
After the fight wouldve been signed, Ali and his team would've immediately started watching videos of Tyson to look for strengths and weaknesses in his game. After coming up with a gameplan, Ali would've started training and mentally preparing for Tyson. At press conferences and fight promotions, Ali would get into Tyson's head by calling Mike a bum and say he was to ugly to beat him. He would do this so that Tyson would lose focus from his own game plan and fight from anger. At this point, the fight would've been over before it started. Once the bell would 'ding' to start the first round Ali would've used his footwork and Jab to distance himself from Tyson's onslaught of deadly punches. In the 2nd round Ali would've backed up against the ropes and covered his head letting Tyson punch away at his lower body. The third round is when Ali would start talking to Tyson so that it would induce more punches from him and lower his stamina and punching power. Ali would save his energy and repeat the first three rounds until the 7th round and then he would go to work on a spent Tyson and end it by Knock Out.
A good possibility
Nah! He couldn’t stand that punishment for 7rds. Tyson was just as fast, if not faster than Ali. Everyone including you seem to think that Tyson was a Headhunter. In his Prime he was a ‘Body Butcher’ using the body shots to set up the Head Shot KO’s. Tyson had the D’amato Shift, and could throw a 7 power punch combo in one second, and an impenetrable defense. HE had the rarest ever power and speed for a Heavyweight. Period!
@@emilsunter3596 Ali couldn't stand the punishment for seven rounds? I bet he could because he proved it against Heavy Hitters like Foreman, Norton, Frazier, Shavers and Patterson.
@@emilsunter3596Ali has faced Harder hitters than Tyson he could for sure take Tyson’s punishment and Tyson is not faster than Ali💀 you don’t know shit about boxing
Nobody knows what would've happened had they met. But you got anymore fantasies you'd like to share?
Loved Ali...still do...so lucky to grow up watching him...amazing man all around...
Being a boxer does not always mean you are good at punching and hitting your opponent. You also have to be able to survive when you receive a blowback and be strategic at the moment. Ali was good in those aspects.
Legendary Boxing on the World 👍👍🏿👍
A unique man that this world was gifted with!
There’s somethings so touching about Mike Tyson’s compassion about the sport and about his idol Muhammad Ali
Ali was asked who hit you the hardest and he answered: Ernie Shavers before the question was finished.
Ali was top of the food chain in the ring, he entertained everyone and made everyone smile 🥊👍🏴
When Mike gets emotional u know that its truth😢
We all have our heroes. Ali wanted to be the Sugar Ray Robison of heavyweights. He was with an extra dose of empathy, love for his fellow humans, inspiration and dignity. Not only was he a great boxer but a great person.
when ali would get into a scuffle; no one could match his shuffle. when people wanted a tussle; no one could handle his muscle. didn't matter their needs; no one could handle his speeds. before they could blink; he's thrown it all including the kitchen sink. he would wrestle alligators. he would tussle with a whale. he could handcuff lightning; thrown thunder in jail . he could murder a rock. injure a stone. hospitalize a brick. he was so mean he could make medicine sick. he was so fast he could run through a hurricane without getting wet. he could drown a drink of water, he could kill a dead tree. he was the greatest for all to see. called simply; Muhammad ali. my little tribute in his style.
Growing up in the era of these great fighters,Ali was just God like,he really was and is the GOAT
Ill support your cause
IRON MIKE.
Miss you Champ!
Muhammad the 🐐
King Ali waz a true legend 🙌 👏 🙏
We called him Kid dynamite. Because he was a kid 18 years old all the other well in there 40s
Ali…big..tall…amazing movement…great chin…
The way George talked about him, George being the phenomenal fighter he was....there is no higher praise.
the greatest
A golden globe winner, a heavy weight boxer with a movement of Sugar Ray Leonard and a legend who could predict the outcome and probably a father of "rap" (Thrilla in Manilla), idolized by many including Mike Tyson.
No matter how many wins you have in boxing, or how many wins other people have in boxing, Ali was, and will always be remmebered as the greatest boxer of all time.
Blinding speed
There's certain people that trancend what they do. You know, Mozart, Da Vinci, Michael Jordan, The Beatles, Elvis, people that truly are beyond their work and become THE thing to be for the rest of people aspiring to do certain things. Ali is that for boxing, whoever aspires to be the very best boxer ever should meassure himself against Ali.
I hated you Mr. TYSON.
NOW I LOVE YOU.
Tyson talking about Ali is beautiful
to think that Muhammed Ali would have no answer to Tysons power and speed is not really looking at the list of powerful and intimidating fighters that Ali faught and defeated in his career.. Liston, frasier, Jimmy Young, Foreman, Shavers ect ect ect... And how many times Ali had to dig deep to find a victory .
a simple question should be asked, Who is the greatest fighter that Tyson defeated?
Foreman was wrong about beating Ali in all those rounds. Ali was winning the fight throughout most of the fight. If the fight would have gone the distance, Ali would have won by a unanimous decision.
Find yourself a girl who loves you half as much as Mike loved Ali
I once shook Ali's hand. One of the great moments of my life!
One thing made unstoppable was he used his brains more during a fight than his opponents.
Ali was to boxing what the Beatles were to Rock, what Jordan was to basketball. Not only was it excellent, but it made boxing a show, profitable, and not only can you make a good living being a champion, but also so that all the others who do not have the projection of being a champion can also fight and make a living from it. . In boxing, there is a pre-Ali stage, and a completely different post-Ali stage.
That hand at 1:24, freaking legends, legendary all around
I still cant comprehend the fact that this man, who was a textbook Heavyweight, 107kg or so and 1,93m or something, who danced like a lightweight, shuffling, jumping etc for 15 rounds!!
It should not be possible for a Heavyweight.
There will NEVER be a Man like Ali again:(
I never really appreciated just how good Muhammed Ali was until I heard Mike Tyson talk about him. Really opened my eyes.
Just rewatched the Foreman fight. Ali did the impossible. He beat an unstoppable force and he did it WELL past his prime. True Champion.
ERA EL MEJOR DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS , ES UNA PENA QUE NO HAYA UNA TRADUCCION EN CASTELLANO .
LOL DEFINITELY The Dude You WANT To Bump Into In A Dark Alley On A Dark Night!! 🤗
M. Ali was a king of the boxing ring
He's trying to get across that Ali had something rare and it wasn't just physical. He was inspiring.
Tyson while Damato was alive is the best ever box produced
Tyson knows all about floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee......beautiful beautiful beautiful 😂
He transcended the world, way more than Boxing or any sport. Just the Goat. Mike Tyson swore he would get revenge for Ali and did.
George has the cutest face
... The Ali of all Times
Iron Mike has gotten wiser in his older age.
love
رحمه الله
Ali was the greatest of all time. They took the title from him three times and he got it back every time. He was the one who perfected his style when young and then as an older man the rope a dope. I watch every fight of his and him and Howard Do interviews.
I think he said “savage” not “Ali’s a Fab”
back then fighters were more respectful and quiet articulate in their speech.
Tyson ALI looked like a tyrannosaurus rex , i saw it all live back in the day,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
ALI….!!!!!!!!
I watched Larry Holmes punish Ali and I teared up as a child then I watched Tyson destroy Larry Holmes and I teared up as an adult! For whatever reasons Larry Holmes is sort of the forgotten man in All time great fighter discussions ! I remember I wanted anyone to beat him !!! He was champ from 78 - 85 !!! He was 48-0 when Spinks finally beat him in an upset ! Incredible!
All the greats are leaving this Earth and in 250 years from nobody would care apart from us in this timeline of 100 years
What's my name? King of boxers mohamedh ali🎉🎉🎉🎉
Holyfield said it best, "And he uhh he he uhh huu the I and my momma said uhhh huh!!"
he's a turd
Doesn’t really seem like the kinda video that needs narration 🤷🏾♂️ just let the clips speak
What is with the epidemic of bad subtitles on YT/tiktok videos? Someone hire me to be the subtitles guy
Does anyone ever sad something bad about Muhamed Ali
there is and that floyd mayweather say something bad on ali and mike tyson was not happy after heard that
I'm guessing Ali is the Satoru Gojo of boxing
Most the people here have never even seen Ali fight
I hate & live boxing. Boxers need headgear🙏🏾
He's breaking down because he knows how east he would of took him
Its a shame most of his retirement Ali struggled to speak. Have a bad feeling most of these Slap competition guys will be the same way. Not that any of them will have anything as relevant to say as Ali did
