Surly, Ali was NOT the most “mobile heavyweight” of all time! The man was a total mess, a Slobbering, Drooling, uncontrollable shaking physical mess!! Clearly, during Ali’s boxing career, his mobile skills were not good enough to allow him to escape the brutal punishment he absorbed in his FIVE LOSSES as well as other fights to prevent him from his horrible existence at the end of his life! Rocky Marciano on the other hand was a Master of Defense and of body and foot movement which allowed him to escape overwhelming punishment from his opponents! Rocky pummeled his opponents while for the most part escaping his opponents abilities to do the same to him!!!

Stop the nonsense puh-leeze! Ali was indeed a great, great fighter, and I stand amazed at his ability to take punishment as well as his speed and ring savvy. However, Joe Frazier beat the snot out of him in both their first and third fights (have to review their 2nd), Ken Norton broke his jaw and without a shadow of a doubt got the better of Ali in their 3 bouts, ridiculous decision in Ali's favor at Yankee Stadium notwithstanding. His 1974 defeat of George Foreman is a bit suspect because George was at a low state in his career mentally, he was not at his best. Who's the GOAT of the heavyweights? There ain't one! They are all great fighters, they all beat each other and they all lost to each other pretty much: Ali, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, etc, etc. They are roughly equal, all great fighters, Ali just out talked everyone else. It's the same with NFL running backs: Jim Brown, OJ Simpson, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, etc. Who was the greatest? The case could be made for all 4 - they were all amazing. Similarly in batting: Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Stan Musial, Ted Williams, Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Albert Pujols, etc, etc. - a lot of great hitters, perhaps no clear GOAT other than Williams. The only exception would be Michael Jordan, though, as he was definitely a cut or two above the other greats (yes, including LBJ). There's no way Ali could be the GOAT when he was so badly beaten by 2 of his contemporaries and there are other luminaries like Iron Mike he has to favorably compare to.

@@jamespenny9482 he fought Frazier without boxing for 3 years his first fight and still was winning the first couple rounds. After he came back he was never the same dancing Ali. He lost his endurance and had to resort to relying on his chin power. Ali also beat the crap out of Frazier in their 3rd fight and Joe admitted Ali getting the best of their 3 fights (but he takes 100% credit winning the most important fight being their first). Ken Norton is the only boxer that can claim to have gotten the best of Ali. Even then, Ali was past his prime fighting Norton and managed a solid win (their 2nd). Ali went on to beat Foreman and Shavers, two heavyweights that destroyed Ken Norton in less than 4 rounds. Ali was the best of his time easily and his most important fights (Foreman, Frazier, Norton) we’re all after his 3 year hiatus from boxing.

@richardlstern98402 жыл бұрын
@Aaron Digby By the Holmes fight Ali was worse than "past his prime". He was badly injured and shouldn't have gotten a boxing license. I saw the fight on closed circuit TV. Ali was laying on the ropes taking a beating. The referee said " If you don't fight Ali, I'm gonna stop it". He didn't stop it. He should have. Afterwards, Holmes said "I did what I had to do but I didn't enjoy it". He didn't want to hurt Ali.

Muhammad Ali was a great and noble personality - no doubt! And Ali was indeed "the Greatest" Boxer of all time! His style ("Fly like a Butterfly and sting like a Bee") was so unique and his speed so amazing - especially for a heavy-weight Boxer, that no one can compare or mess with him. In this (first) fight against Sony Liston, Liston tried to cheat by ordering his Corner "to burn the gloves", meaning that they smeared the gloves in an ointment that would sting and temporarily blind Ali after a punch to the eyes. Nevertheless Ali was able to somehow avoid punches until the chemicals were out of his eyes. After that Round 5 Ali was able to see Liston again clearly and won the fight deservedly. I cant imagine another Fighter to survive such an unfair Round (against a hard Puncher like Sony Liston) and win finally! So in my opinion Ali was actually the greatest Boxer of all time! RIP Muhammad Ali! You will never be forgotten!!! You will be "the Greatest" forever!

Between a Boxer and a Brawler, I’d generally take the Brawler to win. Unless he’s a Great Boxer like Ali! Then I prefer the Boxer. Liston kept throwing haymakers trying to knock out Ali but Ali’s great footwork kept him evading the blows. And he ended up frustrating Liston. And Ali kept throwing his jab and keeping Liston off him. Ali wore Liston down. It was the beginning of Ali’s reign as Champion.

You're right, despite his loss against Muhammad Ali and Leotis Martin. Marty Marshall doesnt count.
Stop the nonsense puh-leeze! Ali was indeed a great, great fighter, and I stand amazed at his ability to take punishment as well as his speed and ring savvy. However, Joe Frazier beat the snot out of him in both their first and third fights (have to review their 2nd), Ken Norton broke his jaw and without a shadow of a doubt got the better of Ali in their 3 bouts, ridiculous decision in Ali's favor at Yankee Stadium notwithstanding. His 1974 defeat of George Foreman is a bit suspect because George was at a low state in his career mentally, he was not at his best. Who's the GOAT of the heavyweights? There ain't one! They are all great fighters, they all beat each other and they all lost to each other pretty much: Ali, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, etc, etc. They are roughly equal, all great fighters, Ali just out talked everyone else. It's the same with NFL running backs: Jim Brown, OJ Simpson, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, etc. Who was the greatest? The case could be made for all 4 - they were all amazing. Similarly in batting: Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Stan Musial, Ted Williams, Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Albert Pujols, etc, etc. - a lot of great hitters, perhaps no clear GOAT other than Williams. The only exception would be Michael Jordan, though, as he was definitely a cut or two above the other greats (yes, including LBJ). There's no way Ali could be the GOAT when he was so badly beaten by 2 of his contemporaries and there are other luminaries like Iron Mike he has to favorably compare to.
@@jamespenny9482 he fought Frazier without boxing for 3 years his first fight and still was winning the first couple rounds. After he came back he was never the same dancing Ali. He lost his endurance and had to resort to relying on his chin power. Ali also beat the crap out of Frazier in their 3rd fight and Joe admitted Ali getting the best of their 3 fights (but he takes 100% credit winning the most important fight being their first). Ken Norton is the only boxer that can claim to have gotten the best of Ali. Even then, Ali was past his prime fighting Norton and managed a solid win (their 2nd). Ali went on to beat Foreman and Shavers, two heavyweights that destroyed Ken Norton in less than 4 rounds. Ali was the best of his time easily and his most important fights (Foreman, Frazier, Norton) we’re all after his 3 year hiatus from boxing. We can never truly compare cross generation fighters, but Ali was undoubtedly the best of his time
um ... forever is a long, long time. you know there will be others, better, right?
@James Penny Ali was great because of all the other things he did outside of the ring and his amazing personality. Boxing was only 40% of it.
He outsmarted Liston and used his footwork and head feints to evade punches and constantly dancing in circles to evade punches. Going toe to toe would have been bad for Ali. So his style and strategy worked. Liston was a good fighter and a tough fighter but Ali was a great Boxer and he used his speed and boxing skill to beat Liston.
Liston was a great fighter,50 &4 39 kos 2 losses to The GOAT! Liston my #2 Heavyweight of All Time behind Ali!! Liston jab set up everything 4 him great jab could hurt u but Ali jab was much quicker then Sonny and the dancing gave Liston problems!
Outsmarted Foreman too with his ropeadope.
What beat Liston as much as Ali did was his age (at least 32) and his bad knees and bad left shoulder. A 1958 Liston would have had a pretty good chance against Ali.
@@richardlstern8241 That’s all true and I agree with you. But the changing of the guard is a natural process. Ali’s last fights were ugly and looked like a younger guy beating up an old man who could no longer defend himself. It was sad and Ali took punches to the face and head that he used to slip and evade with ease. That’s how it goes! An older champion always tries to hold on too long.

Ali lost FIVE FIGHTS. Most of his losses were against just barely better than Average Fighters. Ken Norton beat Ali and Norton did become the Heavyweight Champion. Although Norton wasn’t good enough to hold the Title! Leon Spinks, another Bum of the week, also beat Ali ….BOOM!!! Larry Holmes beat Ali’s Ass! Holmes however was a great fighter!!! Even Trevor Berbick, another Bum, beat Ali!!! Sorry, but Ali wasn’t the greatest fighter by far ….his mouth was great! 👍🏾

@@joelhoward8211 Ali wasn't in his prime when he lost any of these fights. The only two fights Ali actually lost when he was young was the first frazier fight and first Norton fight. First frazier fight, Ali came back after 3.5 year layoff, and was extremely rusty. First Norton fight, Ali took Norton lightly and came in 13 pounds overweight
@@joelhoward8211 He already started showing early symptoms of parkinsons after thrilla in manilla. By the time he fought Spinks, he was 36 and clearly shouldn't have been in the ring. And you said he lost to Holmes and berbrick as if that's a bad thing. Ali was 39 and couldn't even touch his nose at this time.

Ali was a Straight up Warrior, he was basically Blind and couldn’t see that whole entire round and Sonny still couldn’t knock Ali out
Yeah the evil prick tried to cheat. They put hot pepper on his gloves.

To everyone on this post, most of which are much younger than I, I am so glad you get to see films of Muhammad Ali in the early days. I was a child during the Liston fight but I remember it well. And I remember the photos in the paper of Liston's tattered face. My Dad told us, "that is the fastest heavyweight boxer in history. He's as fast as middleweight Sugar Ray Robinson!" It was like watching a Superhero in real life.
I was 8 yrs old when this fight took place and can still remember the impact this fight had on the boxing world. Thank God my dad was a massive boxing fan. I feel so privileged being able to say that I remember when Clay burst onto the scene. There will probably be no one quite like this again. Makes me sad, humble, privileged all at the same time. RIP Great Man
I’m happy for you! But i’d prefer if you use the name he loved to be called by which is Muhammad Ali not Clay.

He had too big of a mouth though.
Greatest of all times! And he backed up his own words!
Imagine 80's Tyson trying to hit this version of Ali, he'd be hitting mostly air, Ali's speed and reflexes amazing at this time. When he was young like this his first line of defense was his legs, when he came back in the 70's he lost some of his legs, speed and reflexes and he tired more quickly, but he was still the best boxer I ever saw at coming up with what was necessary to win

He didn't fight Liston as Ali ... he fought him as Clay!

He was always Ali he just didn’t know
Oh he was beautiful to watch.
Ali was dodging Liston punch, while Liston can't dodge Ali's combos 👏👍💪
Mohammed Ali's punching power is underrated,Ali weather it looks like it or not,he was packing,he had punching power,those jabs,don't look like much,but took a toll on Sonny Liston,honestly as amateur boxer, I'm a believer,Sonny Liston,had never ever gotten hit hard by somebody that pretty much had his own punching power, Foreman is another example,they underestimated Mohammed Ali's punching power,you add awesome boxing skills to that,and your gonna be eating leather all night long, Ali, not only a boxer but Boxer/Puncher
You are absolutely correct. Step to the head of the class!!!!!

Absolutely, and he was voted as one of the top 12 hardest punchers of all time, and I believe he deliberately pulled his punches, not only to go quicker, but to avoid seriously and permanently injuring opponents, which he went out of his way, not to do.
Anybody weighting over 200lb can knock out most of the people. I don't know why people say he didn't had the punch
@@leegarykushner1814 I believe that he’s top 10 and maybe top 5 heavy hitters but like you said he definitely pulls his punches for speed
Ali's punches had so much accuracy they landed where he exactly wanted , the stylish graceful dancing who made boxing an Art more than boxing.
He was the greatest and for me, still the greatest.
Ali was a B - 52 Bomber with the stealth of a Stealth Bomber, and the agility and speed of an F - 15 Jet Fighter... MY HERO FOR EVER!!!!
Lol highly overrated
@@jamesdean7756 Lol I’m talking about a fighter who was robbed of 4 YEARS his prime for refusing to fight in a war against a country for a country that WOULD NOT fight for him. THAT TOOK BALLS ( He was fearless!! ) He’s a former three time world champion. He was that inside and outside of the ring. Highly overrated? I don’t think so.
@@pmprei3767 yes he was all those things but also an overrated boxer and a racist
@@jamesdean7756 And why was he racist? Because he didn't through any fights? Was it because he wouldn't fight for a country that wouldn't fight for him with being called a nigger? Is it because his ancestors were slaves while being called niggers with being segregated, lynched or murdered, raped, buck broken, disallowed to learn how to read or write, denied education, jobs, credit, ECT?? What fighter are you talkin about man? Like it or not TROLL he's the GOAT and there are many fighter in his era and after that will vouch for him. George Foreman," Smokin" Joe Frazier, Larry Holmes ( The Eastern Assassin ), Roy Jones Jr, Sugar Ray Leonard, James "Lights Out" Tony are are just few that acknowledge his greatness in and out the ring. Even "Iron" Mike Tyson, the MOST BRUTAL of all these fighters ( including Ali ), was literally in tears talking about Ali. So OVERATED he could never be. And if he were racist ( which he is not ), after WTF he, his ancestors, and people of his complexion went through, I wouldn't blame him.
man, ali’s core was just insane, he took so many hard bodyshots, still moving around like that.
Ali was a physical specimen unlike anything you'd ever seen. To top it off, he had a jaw of steel. Nothing like in the heavyweight division. Nothing.
Looking at Liston's bicep one can comes to the conclusion about Ali's ability to take the heat and that goes against Tyson.
It is a big shame. They took 3 years from him prime and he is still the greatest !
For more ba wars,, Ali did the right thing
After the layoff Ali's foot speed pretty much gone. Hand speed still there but now he relies also on his ability to take punishment. Against Foreman, Frazier, Shavers, Norton he got hit plenty and it ruined his health. That beating by Holmes was awful and he just wouldn't quit. No quit in Ali.
@Aaron Digby By the Holmes fight Ali was worse than "past his prime". He was badly injured and shouldn't have gotten a boxing license. I saw the fight on closed circuit TV. Ali was laying on the ropes taking a beating. The referee said " If you don't fight Ali, I'm gonna stop it". He didn't stop it. He should have. Afterwards, Holmes said "I did what I had to do but I didn't enjoy it". He didn't want to hurt Ali.
Right, but what he did in this three years made him even greater.

This is the clearest and cleanest footage i've ever seen of this first fight, i wish you could do each round and show the whole fight at some point, this is a fantastic job you've done cleaning it up. Thanks for posting, i've seen many other versions over the years but for some reason this is the first time i've seen yours here. Thanks, Hammer.
Nothing was 'cleaned up,' these are the films of the fight, not the tv.

Stupid comment! Boxing was the BIGGEST SPORT around in the 1940’s and 1950’s …Long before Cassius Clay showed up.!!!

@@johnflynn1014 Far from the Greatest on the second! Ali was “Duped” by the Lying Bastards of Islam and he stupidly bought into the lies.!!! 🤔😩 The original Cassius Marcellus Clay was an Abolitionist, a warrior against the injustices of Slavery. Cassius Clays Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandparents understood this and therefore named Ali’s Grandfather “Cassius Marcellus Clay” in honor of this Great Abolitionist man. Subsequently, Ali’s Father was named “Cassius Marcellus Clay” and Ali himself was named “Cassius Marcellus Clay VI” after the same Abolitionist “Cassius Marcellus Clay”.!!! Islam falsely told Ali that Cassius Marcellus Clay was a “SLAVES” name and Ali bought it “Hook, Line, and Sinker” …he was totally Duped by the lying scum of Islam.!!! That indicates Ali was NOT a smart analytical thinking MINDED MAN.!!! Don’t believe it? See the explanation on the link below from one of the Worlds Greatest Scholar Authorities on Philosophy, Religions/Theology Studies (Christianity and Islam among others), as well as Critical Thinking (The man, David Wood, is also funny as hell).!!!

Muhammad Ali was a great and noble personality - no doubt! And Ali was indeed "the Greatest" Boxer of all time! His style ("Fly like a Butterfly and sting like a Bee") was so unique and his speed so amazing - especially for a heavy-weight Boxer, that no one can compare or mess with him. In this (first) fight against Sony Liston, Liston tried to cheat by ordering his Corner "to burn the gloves", meaning that they smeared the gloves in an ointment that would sting and temporarily blind Ali after a punch to the eyes. Nevertheless Ali was able to somehow avoid punches until the chemicals were out of his eyes. After that Round 5 Ali was able to see Liston again clearly and won the fight deservedly. I cant imagine another Fighter to survive such an unfair Round (against a hard Puncher like Sony Liston) and win finally! So in my opinion Ali was actually the greatest Boxer of all time! RIP Muhammad Ali! You will never be forgotten!!! You will be "the Greatest" forever!
The chemical was put on Liston shoulder. Ali often had to grab his opponent and put his head on the shoulder. That’s how the chemical came to Ali’s eyes
He was not that noble towards his wives. Best boxer ever no doubt. Fighter for civil rights, no doubt. But he was not a good husband and the way he treated Frazier was despicable. Nobody is perfect.

Between a Boxer and a Brawler, I’d generally take the Brawler to win. Unless he’s a Great Boxer like Ali! Then I prefer the Boxer. Liston kept throwing haymakers trying to knock out Ali but Ali’s great footwork kept him evading the blows. And he ended up frustrating Liston. And Ali kept throwing his jab and keeping Liston off him. Ali wore Liston down. It was the beginning of Ali’s reign as Champion.

Nope, fight was rigged.
Liston supposedly threw his shoulder out from missing the target the whole match. Not sure which one. Most likely his left. Liston did catch Ali with a mean left hook though, which sent Ali about three steps to his left. One of the greatest boxing matches ever. Also Ali wining the title from George foreman. “I shook up the world”. Twice!! Greatest of all times!

Excellent upload thank you Amazing the speed of Ali, remember he is 6 3 at 210 lbs!
Ali was poetry in motion. The three year sentence prevented him from reaching his peak. Imagine if?
i think about that every time i watch older highlights of Ali
He wasn't able to fight for many peak years, but he never went to prison and was notorious for not sparring as much as other fighters. I think that it robbed us of many, many inspirational fights. But I don't think it prevented him from reaching his peak. I just don't think we saw much of it.

@@mbrawthen All the great fighters u just mentioned Marciano beat were ancient by the time he fought them. He never beat a single great fighter who was in their prime. Marciano was 49-0 against mostly bums, and old great fighters. He retired young at 32 because he knew he'd lose eventually. Meanwhile Ali had a much better record 56-5, while losing nearly 4 of his prime years and showing signs of parkinsons in his last few years of his career. He beat much better opposition and fought till he was nearly 40. He beat liston, Patterson, chuvalo, terell, mildenburger, bonavena, Quarry, Frazier, Norton, Foreman, Lyle, shavers, and the list goes on. Marciano isn't even a top 10 heavyweight of all time
These champions of old fought with 8oz gloves padded with nothing but bad intentions. Men of true grit.
