Excellent boxer......but Louis and Tyson were better. The draft dodging and muslim name changing.......I didn't like his attitude. Love Frazier beating him their first fight.
There is no way any human that ever lived could have beaten Ali on this night. Tyson would've been toast. Ali was too fit, too fast, and too smart for Tyson.
As a Brit I think that Muhammed Ali was simply extraordinary and in my opinion would have beaten any fighter in any era! Marciano and the Klitschkos would have been just another stroll in the park for the charismatic and handsome boxer.
It amazes that Ali, in his prime, fought while keeping his hands mostly down by his waist. Most boxers keep their arms / hands up to protect their heads. You have to be damn fast and damn good to win with Ali’s style.
If “the fusillade” is not the official name for that phenomenal volley I hereby pronounce that it should be! I’ve never heard the term used in boxing but I guess it had to have been. People have claimed to have slowed the film down and detected extra punches unseen by the human eye.
@@leeeastwood6368 I watched that fight when it happened. I definitely would not say faster. At the same time, it was pretty fast and definitely harder.
Ali in his absolute prime his younger days in his 20s dude he was sooo fucking fast soo fast! I recognized this fight I thought isn’t this the fight where he corners him LOL
Prime Ali was untouchable and undefeatable. Neither lewis or tyson fury wouldn't beat him. But after banishment (exile ) dramaticly he lost his terrific skills and head speed however even though barrier of government somehow he won second time heawyweight title from forman (monster). What a legendary man.
+T.R. Ryan Boxing historian Jim Jacobs wrote that he analyzed the fight later and said he unloaded 16 punches in 2 seconds ... and he rated Ali faster than Sugar Ray Robinson by 2/3! (Taken from Approaching Ali" by Davis Miller) I'm very fortunate to have Ali's autograph from 1995 when he came back here to Lewiston, Maine for a fight which would showcase the future heavyweight champ, Shannon Briggs who later beat Foreman. A time when the heavyweights were fading. Classy night with Floyd Patterson, Angelo Dundee and Terry Atlas there. No one better than Ali, in the ring and as a person!
you think that was fast then you had better watch ali fighting Cleveland Williams in that fight Ali was so fast he made sugar ray leonard and roy jones jr look really slow.
Almost the peak of Ali's prime right here. Physique, Speed, Experience in the ring all getting to a serious elite level more then he naturally was. & then the American Government stole it all away from him smh. The Mildenburger & Williams fight was a sample of what we could have got between 67-70.
Ammar Z They didn't steal it away. He may have had a better career possibly, but he is blessed to have the great career that he has that makes him prolly the most popular boxer of all time, and much likely the greatest. We should be happy for what he was able to accomplish rather than dwell on what could've been. He was able to do so much at a time where it was even harder for black people to get/so much
To be fair to Brian he hadn't , or had few others at that time, faced a heavyweight that boxed as beautifully and as fast as Ali. You have to give respect to any fighter who climbs into that ring and tries their best. He was some way short but credit the man for trying against such an awesome opponent. London was no bum. But Ali was simply the greatest. There's no shame in being beaten by the best.
I'll tell u something I find freaky and almost frightening!! when u consider Ali could hit faster than he did at the end of this fight! that's breathtaking!! I seen what he did at 33 to a brutal mean 24 yr old George at lightning fast speed!! AND He'd slowed down a great deal by 74 too!!
London may have been able to grit it out and defeat C level fighters but this was against most peoples choice for the greatest heavyweight ever - not even a contest. RIP Muhammad Ali.
Ali,absolutely amazing. Totally unorthodox,hardly any jabs,all super accurate hooks and crosses with both hands at speed. Poor Brian London didn’t have a chance and he was no mug. I had the great pleasure and privilege of meeting,shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with the Greatest at a book signing at W H Smith’s in Sloane Square in London 20 odd years ago. He was incredibly handsome and had beautiful smooth unblemished skin and when I said it’s a pleasure to meet you he said it was nice to meet me. He had a wonderful,genuine smile while his eyes radiated happiness. A bit like Tyson, he probably has proportionally more white fans in this country than in the U S A. R.I.P. Genuine Legend.
This performance ranks up there with the fight against Williams for sheer poetic movement mixed with viciously sharp punching. This is one of his great fights.
William Esselman Maybe not the first round, but I agree that Tyson would have won. Ali's ability to dance would work for a while, but he would always be retreating from Tyson. Tyson was compared to smokin' Joe Frazier. But, Tyson was faster, a better counterpuncher, better at constantly bobbing his head to avoid and slip punches, and hit much harder. Tyson also was trained by Cus D'Amato, who studied Ali and developed a style that could deal with it.
@@gregparrott ...Ali and Tyson at the age of twenty-four? The latter would have never caught the former. Both of them at the age of twenty-four? GET REAL!!!
@Bruce Scott You've not presented any reason why I should consider your opinion to be 'superior', especially when saying 'GET REAL', and telling Esselman "in your own little world". This detracts, more than adds to any substantive position. Tyson won his first 19 professional fights by knockout, 12 of them in the first round. That attests to great speed in closing the distance and reacting advantageously in exchanges.
We never saw prime Ali, he was that great. His prime was wasted being banned from boxing for like 3 years, to come back and beat the current best boxer there was. GOAT things
Mike never thought otherwise. He always recognize that Ali was a different breed than him. As for the first 2, we probably would not know who they are if Ali was boxing in 68-69.
I always thought Ali was over hyped and not as good as people made out. Then I realised it was because all the fights I had watched him in (the big ones) like against Foreman were way past his prime. When you go back to this era you can truly see why he was so great.
I've been watching a lot of heavyweight championship fights on UA-cam from all the eras. From Joe Louis all the way up to Klitschko . Honestly, I don't why there is even a doubt that Ali in the mid 1960s is the greatest. Its in that brief period he has it all. He has the agility (which he lost in the 1970s), the length, the hand speed, the skill, and the experience. We know in hindsight he could take a punch. He never had the big punching power, but so what. Even without a knockout he could out point any of the greats from any era.
I agree with you 100% in the Cleveland Williams fight Ali gave an exhibition in boxing that no matter who was in the ring with Ali that day they would have got beat.
That no punch stuff was one of the things they threw at him to diminish him and it was crap. A number of punches that take their toll and then in for the kill just as effective as one big punch that never gets thrown. Then it was he can't take a punch, which he proved utter nonsense. Then it was he's lost his legs, more crap. Ali in tip top condition was extremely good at what he did at any age. As he got heavier and slower, he compensated and had more power per punch. It's just useless to argue about brilliance and athleticism combined at that fantastic level. He is the epitome of the Greek ideal, body and mind, at its best.
he was right,when he said.he was the greatest!Now watching all his fights i am 100% sure he was the Greatest.RIP people’s champ.10:18 on wards....what a display like a machine.
@@thebeatnumber Wills beat Langford 6 times and Langford beat Wills 2 times and the other 14 fights between them, were draws. The size difference alone is insane, as Wills was a true heavyweight at 6ft 2in & 210lb. and Langford was a blown up middleweight at best. Harry Grebs would've beaten Langford easily.
ali best skipping display was against Cleveland Williams . jack Dempsey,jack Johnson,rocky Marciano none of those three would have had a chance the night Ali fought Cleveland Williams.
Ali is his prime was the fastest, most graceful and artistic boxer in the history of this world! No heavyweight champ of any description would have stood a chance.
Yes, even klitcho brothers, lewis, fury also wilder wouldn't have beat him when Ali was his best time. Unfortunately due to size difference between Ali and fury most of them claim that Fury would destroy Ali but it is nothing but a figment. If Ali and fury had encountered each other Ali would have won by unanimous decision with 4 raund ahead.
no boxer in history looked as good as Ali in the ring and especially throwing punches...here Ali...clearly decided to take the guy out as it was obvious to him he could do so at will....that KO......is as beautiful a moment in sports as ever captured on film.
adon31997 oh stop lmao. That had nothing to do with Marciano's record. It had everything to do with statism and racism at the time, which were on in the same.
London just was outclassed with both hand and foot speed combination and synchronisation. He just realised early on I’m being dominated, once he took that straight right that put him on the canvas, he knew it was better to let the count go to 10. He was not knocked cold. Because right after 10 count he manages to gather himself and senses and get up. He just realised I’m not going to have a chance of beating this masterpiece performance. Plus Ali came out aggressive straight away.
all of you guys are wrong about Tyson beating Ali. Ali would destroy Tyson. I seem to remember a fight in Tyson's prime when he was knocking everybody out and the first guy to take him the distance and give him all kinds of problems was James "quick" Tillis. Tillis kind of had an Ali style move around the ring a lot throws flutters, he had Tyson flustered man!!! Just think YOUNG Cassius Clay vs Mike Tyson. Clay was faster than Tillis and hit harder and a better boxer. Clay/Ali would destroy Tyson no contest. Even Tyson says so.
So right about the Tillis fight, Gloryvic100. I thought Tillis should have won by unanimous decision, despite the knockdown in the sixth round. He kept jolting Tyson often and hard.
gloryvic100 You are of course totally right. Tyson was very very strong and would have decked a horse if only he could catch it. In his later years, Ali would have been very vulnerable, but as a youngster he was almost untouchable. Think Leonard/Durán. Poor Chuvalo, for example, hard man though he was/is, barely touched Ali in the course of two fights. To knock a fighter out, you've got to be able to hit him! Tyson wouldn't have got close. I'd say four rounds. Tyson didn't take a punch the way Ali did, and he'd have had to take a lot from the freakish Ali. Four inches shorter, much less reach, no mobility by comparison. Sometimes I hate Ali; watching him destroy Floyd Patterson, for instance, wasn't pleasant - but being objective, the skills Ali possessed would have allowed him to beat any boxer that's ever got into a ring. He was a phenomenon. Yes, if Tyson had connected, game over. And you could same about Patterson, Chuvalo, Cooper, Liston, Miteff, .........
But Ali had problems with Joe Frazier who had kinda same style as Tyson the only difference was that Tyson unlike Frazier could punch a lot harder with both hands, Frazier was dangerous only with hes left hook , Tyson was a lot faster, stronger, had better head movement he could literally knock out anyone with 1 single punch from any position. So yh really nobody knows what would have happened, it's just sad that today we don't have these guys around to see them boxing.
@@thespy7795 ...You took the words right out of my mouth. I totally agree with you, one-thousand percent. The Tysonites have more excuses for his shortcomings than the Iron Man himself.
Ali had nine title defenses in the 1960s. Of the nine guys he fought, London was the weakest. He admitted he was totally outclassed, saying afterwards he'd like a rematch but only if Ali agreed to attach a ball and chain to each leg. People on Ali videos always argue about whether or not a prime Ali could have beaten a prime Tyson. I don't care. Ali may not have been the greatest heavyweight but he was a very great one and I enjoy watching him fight.
the flurry started at 10:21 and ended at 10:25 (just 4 seconds) wow, thats incredible from a true champ. loved the way how he directed brian to that corner with his dance :)

ali wasn't even begin serious in the fight but still won lol
ali ...float like a butterfly, sting like a bee..somewhere up there ...
Wow thanks for uploading these!!! And they're in great quality!!~
I'm so fast I can turn off the light switch, and be in bed before the room gets dark!
Ali was truly the greatest!
he was right,when he said.he was the greatest!Now watching all his fights i am 100% sure he was the Greatest.RIP people’s champ.10:18 on wards....what a display like a machine.
Sam Langford is believed to be the greatest heavyweight fighter of all time.
@@thebeatnumber i
@@thebeatnumber Harry Wills was better.
@@richardmilliken8705 What?!? Do you know how many times Langford beat Wills?
@@thebeatnumber Wills beat Langford
6 times and Langford beat Wills 2 times and the other 14 fights between them, were draws. The size difference alone is insane, as Wills was a true heavyweight at 6ft 2in & 210lb. and Langford was a blown up middleweight at best. Harry Grebs would've beaten Langford easily.
10:19 what a speed !!!!!!!!!!!
It's not just the amazing KO like nothing I've seen it's the way he feels his way to it like a master of his craft.
Ali a champion in every sense of the word, both inside and outside of the ring
Wow! Ali really was an amazing boxer! An even more amazing man!
the fittest heavy weight of all time . and that skipping display ,,wow amazing .
ali best skipping display was against Cleveland Williams . jack Dempsey,jack Johnson,rocky Marciano none of those three would have had a chance the night Ali fought Cleveland Williams.
@@trinihammer Joe Louis, when he KO Max Schmeling in the 1st round, in their 2nd Title fight.
@@richardmilliken8705 yeah, the brown bomber was something special.
Ali warm up before fight is what makes him 🐐
Ali is his prime was the fastest, most graceful and artistic boxer in the history of this world! No heavyweight champ of any description would have stood a chance.
Yes, even klitcho brothers, lewis, fury also wilder wouldn't have beat him when Ali was his best time. Unfortunately due to size difference between Ali and fury most of them claim that Fury would destroy Ali but it is nothing but a figment. If Ali and fury had encountered each other Ali would have won by unanimous decision with 4 raund ahead.
Holy shit! 10:22 Awesome!
10:20 is just unreal
So many of Ali's jabs hit London square in the face and he didn't even have time to so much as flinch. Amazing.
MAY ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA FORGIVE HIS SINS , RAISE HIS RANK AND GRANT HIM HIGH PLACE IN JANNAH
A fusillade of cannonading punches on the cavalcade of sports.
10:20 How fast is he?! WOW!
tap-slap-tap...just-a-show
Worth watching at 0.25 speed. Couple of big rights end it.
@@mickexplorer stand there and let him tap slap tap you ......................you'd be asleep for a month !
@@mickexplorer Yea! That "tap - slap- tap" put his opponent on his ass though.
@@deankeith830 you want me to get in the ring with Muhammad Ali and stand there and let him tap on me? Nah...
10:20 - 10:25 is a sight that will never leave your eyes
no boxer in history looked as good as Ali in the ring and especially throwing punches...here Ali...clearly decided to take the guy out as it was obvious to him he could do so at will....that KO......is as beautiful a moment in sports as ever captured on film.
That's right by 1966 Ali rivalled the ko percentage of Marciano and they tried to stop Ali from breaking the 49 and 0 with that bullshit draft
I can't believe that much racism and evilness of whites back then. It breaks my heart!!!!
500 years of hate
There was a reason the draft was more correctly called "Selective Service".
its a shame two of the greatest fighters of all time we never got to see them reach their full potential because of unfortunate events
I forgot how fast Ali was, bloody lighting.
Combination of 12 punches in 3 seconds.
The greatest!
10:18 this is what you came for
Hell yaaa
Nah you gotta watch the whole fight to appreciate the foreplay domination
10:22 Ultra Instinct !!!!!!! Legendary The Greatest Of All Times!!!
TY for da uploads, and dey are all HD. 5/5
12 punches in 3,12 SECONDS !!!!
That is pretty impressive.
They knew he would be great and break Marciano's record.
He had to be stopped! In comes the vietnam draft.......
Exactly prick mother fuckers!
adon31997 oh stop lmao. That had nothing to do with Marciano's record.
It had everything to do with statism and racism at the time, which were on in the same.
@@JacaboBlanco ...Yes it did!!! Ali's belt was taken away, right?
To protect the white hope dope Marciano...now the white hope is weed...meh
It was all a conspiracy. Idiots wanted to ruin him and stop him from beating their brothers up like little kids.
London just was outclassed with both hand and foot speed combination and synchronisation. He just realised early on I’m being dominated, once he took that straight right that put him on the canvas, he knew it was better to let the count go to 10. He was not knocked cold. Because right after 10 count he manages to gather himself and senses and get up. He just realised I’m not going to have a chance of beating this masterpiece performance. Plus Ali came out aggressive straight away.
That ridiculous fusillade. Those moments of incredible sustained combinations, with power, are almost unmatched by any fighter.
It’s now 2020 and Brian London is still alive.
And sadly that speaks volumes. I don't say that to knock him.
And sadly that speaks volumes. I don't say that to knock him.
all of you guys are wrong about Tyson beating Ali. Ali would destroy Tyson. I seem to remember a fight in Tyson's prime when he was knocking everybody out and the first guy to take him the distance and give him all kinds of problems was James "quick" Tillis. Tillis kind of had an Ali style move around the ring a lot throws flutters, he had Tyson flustered man!!! Just think YOUNG Cassius Clay vs Mike Tyson. Clay was faster than Tillis and hit harder and a better boxer. Clay/Ali would destroy Tyson no contest. Even Tyson says so.
Thank you. Very well said.
So right about the Tillis fight, Gloryvic100. I thought Tillis should have won by unanimous decision, despite the knockdown in the sixth round. He kept jolting Tyson often and hard.
gloryvic100 You are of course totally right. Tyson was very very strong and would have decked a horse if only he could catch it. In his later years, Ali would have been very vulnerable, but as a youngster he was almost untouchable. Think Leonard/Durán. Poor Chuvalo, for example, hard man though he was/is, barely touched Ali in the course of two fights. To knock a fighter out, you've got to be able to hit him! Tyson wouldn't have got close. I'd say four rounds. Tyson didn't take a punch the way Ali did, and he'd have had to take a lot from the freakish Ali. Four inches shorter, much less reach, no mobility by comparison. Sometimes I hate Ali; watching him destroy Floyd Patterson, for instance, wasn't pleasant - but being objective, the skills Ali possessed would have allowed him to beat any boxer that's ever got into a ring. He was a phenomenon. Yes, if Tyson had connected, game over. And you could same about Patterson, Chuvalo, Cooper, Liston, Miteff, .........
The Ali in this fight was unbeatable by anyone ever.
But Ali had problems with Joe Frazier who had kinda same style as Tyson the only difference was that Tyson unlike Frazier could punch a lot harder with both hands, Frazier was dangerous only with hes left hook , Tyson was a lot faster, stronger, had better head movement he could literally knock out anyone with 1 single punch from any position. So yh really nobody knows what would have happened, it's just sad that today we don't have these guys around to see them boxing.
I dont think we will ever see a heavyweight with skills like this again. Ali is "the greatest"
Ali punched like machine programmed. He would not stop until the target fell down. I rewatched several times, I could not believe it.
No HeavyWeight Boxer yet Equalize Ali
anyone that thinks tyson coulda beat ali in his prime has not watched enough ali...
Samuel Schuttpelz ...Almost all of the Tysonites religiously pick the post-exile Ali.
@@brucescott4261 Ali would have whipped Tyson at ANY point in their respective careers!
@@thespy7795 ...You took the words right out of my mouth. I totally agree with you, one-thousand percent. The Tysonites have more excuses for his shortcomings than the Iron Man himself.
That last flurry Ali put together to end the fight might be the greatest combination ever recorded.
that last flurry of punches was AWESOME
Brian London had a lot of guts just getting in the ring with him.
Ali had nine title defenses in the 1960s. Of the nine guys he fought, London was the weakest. He admitted he was totally outclassed, saying afterwards he'd like a rematch but only if Ali agreed to attach a ball and chain to each leg. People on Ali videos always argue about whether or not a prime Ali could have beaten a prime Tyson. I don't care. Ali may not have been the greatest heavyweight but he was a very great one and I enjoy watching him fight.
Ali WAS the greatest HW
that was one stupid comment
Perfect footwork,all fighters take note,always on the ball of the foot,never flat,this improves everything,especially the breathing..
the flurry started at 10:21 and ended at 10:25 (just 4 seconds) wow, thats incredible from a true champ. loved the way how he directed brian to that corner with his dance :)
