Ali's first loss was to Frazier, Frazier's first loss was to Foreman, and Foreman's first loss was to Ali. If that doesn't tie the legacies of these legends even closer, I don't know what does.
Md.Ali The LEGEND 👑 Of the Legends Ever.,. RiP Champ 🏆 Aameen♥♥
Golden comment!
u need to know the reallity dude , ali loss with frazier for money after ali out from the jail .
Thats why the second fight Ali win to Frazier
@@clayrivaldo4285 are u drunk? frazier was just better man that night
The fact that he did not punch me when i was going to fall .. made him the greatest of all in my eyes -george foreman
Wilder would've kept brawling
I had the privilege of being at that fight - and also at Ali's training camp. All the build-up was that Ali would keep dancing and would be too fast for Foremen. In fact he did just the opposite and simply soaked up all that Foreman could throw. When Ali hit Foreman and even sitting about 25 yards from the ring I could see the big splash of sweat spray. Just for the anecdote, I was working at a bank at the time and, a few months before, a delegation came in to the manager and asked him to provide $10m for financing the fight. He laughed them out of court. A few minutes later a squad of soldiers came in and carted him off to prison. It was the President himself, Mobutu, who wanted the bank financing and he didn't take kindly to being ridiculed.
Damn the respect that fighters used to have for each other back in the day is off the charts...
didnt he say sth like "the best punch in this fight was the one he didnt throw when i was going down" or something like that
Ali 's super for ever
Any one watching this after watching the George Foreman movie?
Hell yeah 😂😂
Yesss....I'm watching it right now 😂
The look on Ali’s face, in his eyes, throughout the entire fight, supreme confidence, killer instinct, he saw himself winning the fight exactly like he went on to win it.
Good at clinching
Actually after round 1 he was scared to death. He realized that Foreman had tremendous punching power. Watch “when we were kings”.
Won with hit mouth.. got in foreman’s head
@@BryanWinsssswhich is why it’s such a great tactical victory. He didn’t get caught up trying to out punch George. He used every single thing at his disposal to win a fight that by all accounts he had no chance of winning.
@@raymondrembert6870 I love how Ali's entire skill set revolves around Critical hits, precision, clinching and evasion.
"The punches he did not hit me while I was going down made him the greatest person in my eyes". George foreman
Ali had the uncanny ability to see a “moment” artistically. His poses by Zara Folley, Liston etc
I would've hit him again and ran before George got mad and killed me. Lol
Ali saw that too. Crazy. Most fighter go for the kill
Legend respect other legend
Ali that dude he talks shit who doesn't but he show great sportsman ship
Ali beat all frazier, foreman, shavers, norton past his prime while they were in their prime. While in prime he was untouchable
Dr. Hafiz Mohd Mohsin the most astonishing fact was that he was robbed of his prime time by the government....just imagining him in his prime....he would have accidentally killed someone....
Dr. Hafiz Mohd Mohsin , that is true
jack brandt , I think you have no idea of boxing history . Bc Ali fought Frazer and Norton after 3 and half years Jail. Bc of inactive of almost 4 years ali lost his speed, reflection and dancing ability. Once Ali was knocked down by Henry coper but Ali won that fight by TKO and that time still he was not Cham. After Henry cuper fight Ali fought Sony liston and became Chap and that time begins Ali's prime. He was Cham at the age of 21 by beating Sony liston.
you forget sonny listen....
@jack brandt he revenged twice from frazier and norton...while during last fight of losing , he was suffering from initial symptoms of parkinson while was undiagnosed. Ali broke the prouds of great boxers....
Seeing Ali’s confidence and sheer determination, no boxer could’ve beat him on that day! RIH champ💔
What does it mean, RIH ? Rest in hell!!?? Maybe you mean RIP .
@@HamzaHamza-th7piMaybe Rest in HEAVEN
What's so amazing about Muhammad Ali is the level of success he had as a boxer but never threw any body shots. He was a head hunter and a very great one at that.
I never even realised that until i read your comment! What a legend
Ali said about how he fought a bully in the ring. He said it’s about landing scoring punches and avoiding theirs. He said the guy would have beaten him up in a street fight, but in the ring he could move in land a flurry of punches and move away. Though for this fight he let George punch himself out.
Never threw a body shot? Lol this video itself says otherwise
Very great at grabbing and clinching like a pus as well as
"The hardest punch in the fight was the one ali didn't give me when I was falling down" "George foreman "
What does it mean
@@mi8los its mercy from ali to george... he dont punch more... he know already win...
I like how you put “George Foreman” in quotations like it was a legendary quote
@@charliebrookshire2679 Still a great quote

I don't necessarily disagree. But Mike Tyson in his prime was jaw dropping scary.
Mohamed Youssef, Ameen
Bb Rr fuck allah
This guy was simply a genius, his will to win and his ability to exploit the flaws in Foreman's defense are outstanding. But what really made the difference, and this is what made him different, is his unlimited self confidence. I wish I was 1/100 of him
Absolutely. After seeing what Foreman did to Frazier, even a very good boxer would have been scared of Foreman. But Ali wasn't just good, he was truly great, and never doubted himself.
Ali was the most iconic boxer in history of this sport. What would the promoters give today to have such a boxer in our times ???
During one of the clinches, Ali told Foreman that he looked tired. Then Ali said: This is the worst place to get tired, young fella.
Yeah he liked playing mental games because toe to toe. He knew he wouldn’t last
No he said ” is that all you got george!”
@@c.galindo9639 stop Talking shit, he knocked him out in the 5th round after standing toe to toe
@@Cricketers.United if you want to call it that. If he was so good why did he run fron a rematch with George? He literally ran after George chasing him and everything for a year for a rematch. Because he was scared and knew he got lucky. He knows luck doesn’t last. Calm down before knowing what really happened
@@c.galindo9639 Once you know how a fighter fights in the ring it’s kinda like yeah do I really want to trade with this guy for x amount of rounds again with the looming doubt in the back of my head. I don’t think he was afraid just respected his fighting ability to not want to fight him again. Ali would fight anybody in his prime so he wouldn’t care regardless.
I would pay any amount to watch this match live. Ali is the greatest boxer this planet will ever produce.

Ali was so scarily accurate with those jabs and punches
Basically it was like hitting an heavy bag though zero movement from George fixed imo
When I was a kid, I thought Muhammad Ali was a superhero like Superman or Spiderman. I'll be 50 in two months and I realize that he was way more powerful than any superhero. He was, is, and always will be The Greatest of All Time.
The moment you recognize the one that is getting punches from Muhammad Ali had a history of 40 wins and 0 loss (40-0) .... the greatest of all time Muhammad Ali
40-0 with 37 knockouts sheesh 😬😬 Ali is unmatched
@MUFC sorry boxing is bigger than soccer !
@MUFC nobody asked
@@boxcuber For us, boxing is definitely bigger than soccer. This guy won't get it
@MUFC yeah soccer is only that popular because all u need is a ball lmao not many ppl are willing to fist fight for money. Also just my opinion but watching people fight is more entertaining than watching ppl run around a very large field for 2 hours only to have the score be 1-0 how is that exciting lol. So before u bring up stats just remember people in 3rd world countries can't afford football pads or baseball gear etc.
This fight here is a metaphor for life. To be patient and resilient against adversity and know when to make your mark at the right time. Epic.
Didn't work for Joe Frazier.
Absolutely CORRECT and true.Well said and well OBSERVED.

Same here! Lol
The greatest sporting event in the history of mankind. Legendary.
Foreman has to be one of the toughest men that ever lived ...20 years later he won the title again .... still punching with enormous power
I bet an 60 something George foreman still has formidable power that could hurt a lion
Shows how special Ali was to beat him in his prime!
That night Ali was on another plane. George is regarded as one of the hardest punchers ever, yet Ali took them, and still displayed excellent ring craft with such quick hands! If you haven’t seen “When we were Kings” I’d recommend it. It helps bring out how remarkable Ali’s win was!
Ali was tougher here. he scored a much harder beating but won by laying weaker punches on Foreman
@@lightninggaming016 he does but he’s 73 there’s a video
3:59 that move from Ali is gold
How many times have we all seen this and still get the same dramatic sense of excitement? 1974. I was nine-years-old when I saw it.
I watched this great fight live, with my entire family. What a time to be alive!
Not only he is the fastest heavyweight, but he is the smartest as well !!

Ali's punch power was so underrated, but here it was evident, the man carried dynamite in both hands. Truly the greatest of all time.
Brother plz read the Quran English translation if you can't read Arabic. Insha Allah (God willing) you will be amazed by this glorious Quran.
You are so right, Mark. The power of his punch came from his amazing speed. Lightning fast.
He didn't hit that hard but he used a clean shot.
It wasn't underrated at all. It's just that he wasn't the most powerful puncher out of all heavyweights but we all know that it was his power mixed with his insane speed and precision that makes him the greatest.
PREACH. Stinging Power...
This shows the greatness of Ali. Foreman was a knockout machine in his late 20s. An age for Perfect balance of athleticism and experience. But George’s punches were wild hooks with no accuracy and just full power. And Muhammad Ali picked him apart tiring him out. Eating all of his bombs then comes back with a fast combo to knock him out.
Ali really was different. That hand speed and power and long extended reach was sneaky dangerous, even when he seemed off balanced they landed with power and accuracy and obviously did damage ! RIP Champ
I have been watching sport in many forms for over 50 years. This is the greatest moment in sport history. An unstoppable force was expected to destroy Ali and end his greatness. The impossible happened. Ali planned and executed with precision a display for the ages. Nothing will ever surpass this. Legend.
No not really. George was young and naive and bought into the myth of Ali being better. He was defeated mentally before the match started. Also Ali had the ropes a little more loose to keep him from taking hits from George when he would be pushed against the ropes as is what made George corner opponents and made them vulnerable. A more mature and mentally stable George would have destroyed Ali even in his prime
@@c.galindo9639 what utter drivel. How do you magically think a " more mature and mentally stable" version of Foreman....was going to be as fit and strong as the mid 20's George was? Once George actually WAS wiser...he was much older....You have an imaginary impossible version in your dumb head...just to suppose this never existing version beats Ali. Sad, and pathetic.....stick with the reality. Ali won..and deserved to..but, you need to imagine an impossible scenario where he loses??
@@realdiamondshow yeah no. George won the Heavyweight title in his 40s so he was more better focused than his younger self and I also didn’t say him at his older age only if he was wiser. You decided to throw in age but to make it even. Foreman at the same age as Ali and wise like his older self would defeat Ali. You also didn’t know George Foreman well. When he fell he actually questioned himself if he should stay down. He wasn’t even in the full match. Also how he fought against others in holding himself together compared to how he looked against Ali. It was apparent he wasn’t mentally prepared to face Ali. Ali had fierce rivalries and demolished his opponents because he got too much into their heads. He is excellent at that. I give him props on that but if he relied on his skills alone without his mental tactics. He would have lost a little more than he did in his career. Do you even know fighting also requires mentality to better yourself if you have the skills. You can go so far with each but have both and you are more of a threat than relying on one alone. Calm down son.
I was 7 Years,,my Dad wake me at 3 pm to watch this fight...nice Remember 🌐 Great from Algiers
@@c.galindo9639 Ali had George's number. It's just how it is. Foreman did what he did to other boxers prior to this. Try and ko them as fast as possible, it's just that Ali was made from tough stuff and had a stylistic advantage over George. Prime Ali or 1974 Ali beats George by KO or decision everytime.
The fact that foreman never went beyond 2 rounds in the past 4 years to lose to Ali shows what a genius tactician Ali was
In May of 71 Gregorio Peralta went ten rounds against Foreman., the fight was stopped. A year or so before that Peralta gave George a boxing lesson in bout that went the distance and many thought peralta won. George was vunerable to really good boxers with stamina and most of his fights were against punchers who came right at him like Farzier and Chuvalo,
@@josephshields2922 Why are you such a fan of Peralta dude?
@@josephshields2922 George was very very young and inexperienced when he fought Peralta. He absolutely destroyed Peralta in the rematch anyways.
Ali’s punching was beautiful
Ali's punches as so fast and accurate with minimum effort and just enough power to knock one out nothing more. Feels like he is caring about his opponent too.
5:17 respect for Ali because he did not punch Foreman when he was falling
Exactly... When Ali was punched that time may be Forman jaw be broken......
Respect really a MAN not a savage
Actually, Ali was posing for the camera according to a doc (can't remember) I saw. That's how much in control Ali was in the fight.
@@dammitjim9131 You're probably talking about Ferdie Pacheco.
Foreman, a top 10 candidate of the heavyweight goats likes to reemphasize this point in his boxing interviews but Ali has always been the graceful type, decent, thoughtful & all. His thrash talk was more 4 the entertainment value of the sport & not 4 vengeance purpose. Great man by any standard.

They don't make boxers like this anymore😢
Ali was the best strategist in boxing, he acclimatised himself to the conditions in Zaire by training there for most of the year and took the wind out of Foreman, who trained there as well but Ali did it better and longer.
3:36 I threw 6 punches on Ali with all my power, i thought it would definitely hurt him,i was smelling victory, and then Ali said "is that all you got", and i lost every hope ~George Foreman
that's a great remark. Usually people get destroyed by those punches, Foreman was a machine. not only Ali had the great attacks, but how he survided the heaviest punches in the world just like it was a child playing is beyond anything. stellar inhuman defense, precise attack, job done. the greatest.
I am imagining then what would had happened that Night if Prime Mike Tyson was Foreman's opponent.. That would have been Foremans last boxing match. 🤣
Was Ali really talking to him during fight, because I noticed Ali's lips were moving in the corner of ring, while foreman was punching him something like that I'm not sure!!! BTW love Muhammad Ali, RIP
@@sayanghosh6777 you do know George Foreman hits harder than Mike Tyson right? I’d say Mike wins but not because of power but rather because Tyson was faster than George, similar to his Ali beat George.
@@sayanghosh6777 Foreman would destroy tyson. Dont get it twisted fanboy
I wasn't born. But far this was best sporting event ever. Better than any NBA finals, or Superbowl. Ali made me a boxing fan in the last year. Rip Ali simply the Greatest of all!
Ali is a "one off". I don't think we will see the likes of him again. The whole complexity of his life, his absolutely unique abilities and charisma. His ability with poetry and the uncanny ability early on to call the rounds his fights would finish.
+dave d I couldn't say it better

I remember it was huge, you could only see it live at the theater and it covered the front page of the newspapers the next day, Ali pulled off a miracle that night, biggest fight of my lifetime I will never forget it.
.
What an era of boxers we had. Ali was so captivating to watch, he was the greatest. Legend
Its one of the greatest fights known to me, no single fight can show how to use your mind and strength together.
We never saw a prime Ali as he lost his 3.5 best years when he was stripped of his title. Convicted murderers were allowed to work while waiting for the judicial process to be completed, but Ali was not allowed to fight or travel. The judge and the Boxing Authorities in the U.S. wanted to make an example of Ali though soon regretted it as 57 thousand American young men were killed in Vietnam and the American people began to protest and agree that Ali was right. Ali gave up the greatest sports title in the world, lost all of his wealth, risked a 10 year prison sentence, and all he had to do was put on a uniform and do boxing exhibitions overseas. Ali would not have anything to do with the war because he knew that blacks were being drafted 5-1 over white young Americans. Ali despised the fact that even though he was both an Olympic and Heavyweight champion, there were many restaurants that would not serve blacks, including himself. So, he gave it all up to stand up against sociopathic racists and a war that was all about money and using minorities to make the military contractors more wealthier than ever. Ali regained his title by beating big George and it took a total of SEVEN years to regain the Heavyweight Crown. When Ali was exiled from boxing he was just coming into his prime. When he returned to the ring, his legs lost their spring and his reflexes were slower. Every boxing pro knew it and that is why Ali had to come up with the rope a dope in this fight. He had to become a toe to toe fighter in many of his later fights and this took a great toll on his body. In his prime Ali was unbeatable because no one could catch him. Watch Ali vs Brian London. It was a 3 round fight and Ali threw 12 punches in 3.5 seconds. By the way, 2 hours after the Foreman fight was over, everyone with Ali was celebrating while Ali was showing a poor African child magic tricks. That is why he was, is, and always shall be the greatest of all time. I spent an hour with Ali and he had the heart of a child. Many people also do not know that Ali would allow homeless people to sleep in his living room. If you asked to see Ali at his home he would actually let you inside. I have never met a person that exuded such love. He loved every person of every race and was the ultimate gentleman. Does everyone remember how he went to Iraq to meet Sadaam Hussein to request that the hostages be set free? Many people forget that Ali brought several of them home with him. One of the hostages was quoted as saying. "An Angel dwelled within that giant body." Ali grew spiritually to the point that he exuded love and personified love. This is the ultimate accomplishment in life and why God put us on this planet. I look forward to seeing you in paradise Champ, but not yet.!
He was the better human being in every situation
To be a great champion and great human being.. You need to have compassion and muhammid had both
Agreed with every single word ...thank's man for your great comment👍🏻
Ali, the greatest fighter of all time, he not only beat every opponent that comes his way but he has beaten the greatest enemy, that is, his self. He has beaten the pride in him, the selfishness in him he had overcome. 81 Behold, the great and everlasting commandment and eternal law of happiness of the Father who created us all is this: That ye love one another as ye would have them love you.🍀 And he has done that.
Very beautiful words for a great human being

I learned from Muhammad Ali that if you make your opponent as mad as possible you had a better chance to win this fight you just can't concentrate if you're really mad
Ali had three majors advantages over most of his peers: he had intelligence, speed and instinct like no one else. RIP Ali, the all time champ.
Ali wasn't smart and was embarrassed of his IQ but he LIVED and BREATHED boxing. That is why he seemed to know things others didn't. He would and could die for boxing... the man took almost 500 hits in the frazier fight.. and kept on boxing. there isn't a scenario when ali throws in the towel or doesn't stand at the sound of the bell. It took Parkinson's, and many hits from a douchebag fairy, (boxer who's name I will not mention as it's not deserving as such regardless if ali trained him.) And his own corner men for his team to sur.
He had intelligence just from manipulating others mentality. His speed was above average but not the fastest, his instinct, eh maybe he had a good feel for pacing fights but not very instinctive. If he had that he would be much more brutal in fights. He is great but not the greatest

ali destroyed him
Ali destroyed Foreman my dude
or man rhat fanboy kiddos without any knowledge. ali even said on himself that he barely ever got punches like that ever before

Ali’s left-armed clinch is like a one-armed Muay Thai clinch, pulling Foreman’s head down into his chest, and then resting his weight on it. Always a smart fighter; love the rope-a-dope too.
Remember this from when I was a kid…..legendary still today…..🤛👍👍

Nope..... It's when foreman was banging him while he is leaning on the roapes
he wasn`t leaning against the ropes.watch that again

Man crazy mind game it was to incite the great foreman!
Historical fight … Foreman was at the peak of his career.. while Ali was suffering with parkinson during that time and won.. RIP legend
This brings tears to my eyes....Vale Muhammad
It doesn't matter how many times I see this fight, I'm left amazed! Just the skill of Ali, you can actually see the look on Foremans face as it changes from the confident Heavyweight World Champion, to desperation, to defeat. Until this point in His career, Foreman hadn't experienced someone taking the fight to him, let alone making him take a backwards step! Ali wasn't only the Heavyweight champion, but the true champion of the people!
Watch Ali use his hands to control George's hands. A lost art in boxing.
Well said and well REASONED.
Ali didn't "take the fight" to Foreman, what on earth are you watching? Ali beat Foreman on the backfoot, off the ropes! Foreman hadn't faced adversity in a while but Ali didn't meet Foreman in the centre of the ring for a slugfest, like Lyle. That would have been very stupid for Ali.
@@smoothcritical1 right. He definitely would have lost. He knew to ride those ropes and wait for Foreman to gas out.
I've seen this fight at least 100 times and get the same chills every time. The greatest.

The most beautiful display of athleticism i've ever seen
"THATS ALL YOU GOT GEORGE" SAID BY MUHAMMUD ALI TOLD BY GEORGE FOREMAN..
And Foreman replied in a later interview: "He was right, that's all I had".
i can imagine how he said it at 2:10
'That all you got sucker' foreman told in an interview
Dia mengatakan itu sepanjang ronde...
Ali good fighter but bad person no respect
Watched it live on TV when I was 14, we were all shouting for Ali to start dancing, but of course he knew better than us. This and the final Frazier fight, the Thriller in Manilla were I think the greatest boxing matches I've ever seen. Very different fights, Ali wasn't a one trick pony, he could adapt when he needed to.
In what country we’re you able to watch it on tv? I heard you had to go to a movie theatre to watch the fights at this time.
If Frazier's left hook couldn't knock Ali out, in their first fight, there was no hope for ANYONE ever knocking him out.
Well said and well REASONED.
@@kevinbear9099 well Frazier did beat Ali, but Ali turned down the rematch to Foreman. However, Foreman beat Frazier. This was the turn of Ali's career. He only beat Foreman by strategy. He rode the ropes a while to tire Frazier out.
@@godislove9273 Ali did NOT turn down a rematch with Foreman. Foreman didn't box for 12 months after Ali knocked him out, and he was never again ranked as the mandatory challenger to face Ali. In his last chance to earn the right to face Ali again, he was beaten on points by Jimmy Young, in 1977 - after which Foreman retired. Ali had already beaten Young, on points, in 1976.
That was an incredible boxing lesson.
It's 09-30-2023 my name is Jonathan Soliz and it's the first time isee this fight .Amazing. im 47yrs old. Hope our future enjoys it also.
I had the pleasure of working with Foreman in his later years... what a gentleman. A sensational man.
This fight is so iconic. Two legends fighting it out!
This fight took place ten years before I was born, I knew very little about Ali growing up as a kid but I don't care what anyone says Muhammad Ali in my opinion is the greatest boxer ever.
..You always fought he who hits harder than you Ali...yet you won...again...you showed us the art of boxing. RIP..
Long live the champ. Other boxers claim to be the greatest of all time when we all know who's really the greatest of all time. Its not even a question its Muhammad Ali. RIP Champ!
Tyson>>>Ali
@@keithcarbaugh6795 Mike Tyson himself admitted Ali was better.
It’s Sugar Ray Robinson but Ali is right behind him
@@thomaskia8441 yes ali is the best heavy weight suger was the best boxer to exist
Ali is the greatest of all time,he defeated liston, foreman and Frazier tough boxer back then..
Le meilleur combat de l'histoire de la boxe .
Just before walking out to this fight he had to give his team a motivational speech as they felt he was going to lose.. worth a watch
I feel so damn lucky to have been in my teens in the 60s, JFK, RFK, MLK, the Beatles, the moon landing, and the greatest Ali!!! There will never be another decade like the 60s
JVS 3 i saw you in museum
Must have been a "living one" Because I'm in my 60s collecting my SS, got my passport and ATM card, being a free youthful spirit, loving today's world, music, art, culture, people, science, technology, etc... it's all good! I will feel blessed I lived in this era. My daughter tells me she'll get old before I do.. I got "turned on" in the 60s and even in my darkest hours, it didn't go "off". What a wonderful trip it has been... hope you like the museums of life!
JVS 3 wow, love your story, i spend my teenage era in the 2000s, but i really like the beatles, love all the album, even paul mcCartney conspiracy. And also i always wondering how's life in 60s. No internet, no smartphone
deepin thought yes people actually had to make physical contact to know each other (67 the summer of love!) life was actually experienced
deepin thought put on headphones listen to 'A Day In A Life" , I am the walrus, heater skelter, hey bulldog, hell any beatle album
Ali’s masterpiece. Make no mistake this man was the greatest of them all. Loved him
When everyone at the time think George Foreman was unstoppable then Ali prove they are all wrong..its just phenomenal..how lucky if i was there..in the golden era of boxing
What I love about this fight is that moment when, after defending for so long, Ali finally seems to sense that the time is right to switch to the attack, and quickly seizes the initiative, and just like that the tables turn...
This is the fight that gained respect for Ali in the eyes of many of his haters.
white are still racist
@@milesrio192 wat
@@milesrio192 many whites including myself idolised Ali!
King of hearts LEGEND ALI
I can watch this fight even a million times. It's my best fight ever😎
Foreman said to him self one time, while the rounds were going I knew I was at the wrong place at the wrong time!
This is the fight that cemented Ali as the GOAT imho! Foreman was annihilating everyone he fought, nobody even came close, losing to Ali didn't even cross his mind! Years later, Foreman, watching the knockdown in slo mo says about Ali, "what a gentleman could've hit me again on the way down but didn't"!
And Floyd calls himself the best ever. Ali is definitely the GOAT!
Floyd is tho, his resume is 10x better than Ali and he never lost and was able to move like Ali in his prime but better and able to move like that at 38
@@thebloxian6176 you don't know what you're saying! King Muhammad Ali!

Ali's timing and strategy was crazy. Foreman hadn't gone past the 4th round since 1971.He dragged Big George to the deep end n drowned him. He would continously pop Foremans head back with lightning combinations. Completely threw off George's rhythm and ability to set up shots. He ended up swinging wildly hoping to connect. Also in every clintch Ali would either push George's head down or rake down his arms to drain his strength. After the 4th n 5th round he was done..Completely worn out both physically and mentally... what a masterclass...
Foreman’s power was uncanny, but he telegraphed his punches in this fight. Ali was on another level at this point, and that’s so cool to see.
George said he didn't sleep properly for a period of 10 years, after this fight! Rip THE GREATEST ❤️🥊🥊🥊
As always in his great years, EVERY punch Ali threw was a head shot. I reckon the one at 5.09 did the damage which resulted in the KO a few seconds later, Ali's right hand power is underrated to this day, he really did have a knockout punch.
I think so too. That earlier punch did the damage. Foreman was not able to box after that and Ali hit him about six times in combo.
I couldn't even see that punch in slow motion, such a speed
The Ali in the sixties did throw some body punches but not many
