Everybody has to leave this world so better realize the true purpose to live so we not waste our lives. That is to remember The Lord Almighty and to serve our fellow beings

@yeshuaswords2776 yesus is moslem people

Fact!

Absolutely CORRECT and true ❤❤

Ali and Tyson are my favorite fighters but I have to say from my knowledge of boxing his defense wasn't that great he relied more on natural reflexes than actual real defense that's why as he got older and out his preme he started doing the rope a dope because his reflexes slowed same as Roy Jones who also relied on natural reflexes they would drop there hands when dodging punches which is not a good idea I would say Floyd had way better defense probably the best defensive fighter ever

That's a bar!!!

thats a verse in the bible you moron!!! Romans 8:31 that’s not credited to Ali!! Ali just read it from the bible!!!! you fucking ignorant moron!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 siiiiiiiuuuuuuuuu 😎

Fesserie Alì spesso vinceva con il trucco Foreman Norton e qualche altro Alì è un mito fasullo

Well said Muhammad Ali. Absolutely CORRECT and true ❤❤

Yeah the mob was, sonny been fighting all that time, BEING hit by other fighter and not going down until Muhammad Ali ? That fight was thrown.

5 opponents saw him good enough to beat his ass, LOLOLOLOL

Absolutely CORRECT and true ❤❤❤

that is incredible!

Oh man, you should record a video telling your story!!

I like that one 🤣

He was the Tupac of boxing. Or Vice versa rather!!

Ali's spatial awareness was off the charts in that fight. Some of Liston's punches only missed by millimetres!

@@Bonescratcher Thanks for promptly correcting yourself [and for not insulting the legend]. Tupac was Ali of rap music! 'nuff said.

@@NavarinoDC A nonpareil ring general! The commentator had issues with Ali's right hand hanging "dangerously low", but The Greatest was squarely on his own radar and knew exactly what he was doing. No other heavyweight would have tried that without having his head ripped off his shoulders by the angry, mean and devastating Liston. 'nuff said.

Muhammad ali.. Mike tyson.. Maradona.. Ronaldo.. Sachin.. Shahrukh khan.. Bruce lee.. Proved this

@@sayanghosh6777 Messi not Ronaldo, & Puskas before either of them, but the real reason I respond is to say that Tyson at 19 would've beaten Ali or Clay at any time had their careers aligned.

@@stevelowe2647 how you gonna say not Ronaldo that dude demonstrated an incredible level of talent at a young age which Alex Ferguson saw

@@ALEX-jr1pb Because I think Messi is better than Ronaldo.. so do 50% other people.. its literally nearly 50-50 between them. You prefer Ronaldo, I prefer Messi.

@@ALEX-jr1pb and Lionel Messi was already being touted as the best ever at 17 at Barcelona.. Ronaldo wasn't playing full time at utd until he was 19-20

He was quicker than his opponents, and knew how to avoid getting cornered. To him his opponents must have seemed like they were moving in slow motion.

@@markedwards7721 Right on the mark [no pun intended vis-a-vis your name]! It's been said that in every sports, combat or otherwise, an excellent defense always wins out over very good offence. Ali's lightweight-like hand speed distracted all and sundry from noticing the best defensive tactics [anchored on very strong legs gained by tedious and unending jumping of the ropes] the game of boxing has ever seen. Those legs enabled him to dance out of troubles leaving his opponents punching and grasping at shadows. 'nuff said.

Sonny looks like and old man there , Ali was scared of listen , said he beat Forman by letting him hit him beat Liston by making sure he didn’t , Liston was awesome , think both of his listen fight were dodgy, but can’t take anything away from Ali top man

@Dodurga Editz to be fair he wouldn’t of been in a boxing ring if he wasn’t

His defense didnt work so well against frazier who beat ali in 3 three fights imo

Best ever my ass, he was defeated by 5 different opponents.

@@johnharris8191 his comment over 2 years dude. Do u think he will reply. Reply my ass

@@johnharris8191 Man you have low intelligence

POS draft dodger who beat Liston with a phantom punch. My friend served with Elvis and said Clay would have had a cake job in the military anhd wouldn't have had to do much at all, yet he still dodges serving his country. And Liston could take on 3 guys in a bar, you could beat him over the head with a barstool and he wouldn't go down, but Cassius Clay takes him out without touching him. pure BS.

Sonny was aged . In his prime he would ve eaten Ali for break fast

@Martin Patrick him not throwing the fight didnt cost him his life

@@lionheart1498 ali wasn't even in his prime, he became way better later my guy

Shut up if he fought him in his prime the outcome will be the same R.I.P to both Fighters

I agree, even though patterson didn't have the speed or boxing ability of ali, he would have e lasted longer against liston if he would have moved and tried to fight the same type of fight ali did. Only persons in boxing history that could slug with liston is foreman and tyson in their prime. Maybe Marciano or Jack Johnson anyone else, forget it !

Liston was a hell of a cheater...

Some people said the match was fixed

​@@salvatorecafarelli1330it wasn't this one.. the next one where he didn't get up after one knockout

Out of desperation, Liston's corner put some kind of irritant on his gloves before the 5th round, and it got in Ali's eyes and temporarily blinded him. He wanted to quit between rounds, but Dundee talked him out of it, and flooded his eyes with water to try to clear them. He was slipping punches that he couldn't even see clearly.

@@mikeprevost8650 it wasn’t irritant it was Vaseline, Ali used it too. It was used to prevent cuts on the other opponent.

@@HoratioMenendez It wasn't Vaseline. It was some kind of ointment for Liston's shoulder. Corners use Vaseline all the time, but how many times have you seen a fighter that can't see?

Exactly well said and well OBSERVED ❤❤

But Liston was carrying injury in his shoulder, which we could see with his movement. He was at least 34 or 36 years old at the time, which is certainly not a prime age for any athlete; and especially against the best HW Boxer, Ali. But I feel that a younger and injury free Liston, might have won.

​@@AbhishekSharma-fz3fh Younger Liston would have caused problems for Ali, but I don't think he'd have won against this version of Ali. He was literally the Jon Jones of HW boxing.

​@@tigertruthAgreed, this is all speculation. Actually, my assessment based on a few things. First the advanced age of Liston, secondly the fact that he was carrying injury. But one important thing is that the great Manny Steward felt that a younger and injury free Liston would have won against Ali. Of course, one can't be fully sure. I just felt that the resume of Liston, the intimidation, his reach advantage, size of his fists combined with the assessment of Manny Steward, might mean that Liston would have won. But most of the greats of Boxing feel that Ali was the best. So, it's all hypothetical.

@@AbhishekSharma-fz3fh Agreed brother. After all, it just does not matter.

Indeed it was "no mas" Sonny style, that would be replicated more than 16 years later in 1980 by Roberto Duran versus Sugar Ray Leonard in their welterweight title rematch. 'nuff said.

never be? at some point there will be sommeone just as fast just as strong.. 10 years? 100 years? 1000 years? 100000 years? time is against that statement.... but i get what you mean ;-)

❤​@@sadev101

I always LOL when I hear that.

Yeh aged then tho with a shoulder injury… think would of been the closest fight ever if both in there prime

That fight was thrown, no way Muhammad Ali, could have beaten sonny Liston, hell it took him untill the last round against the fight against Georg foreman to win, and SOnny was definitely a waaaay better fighter at that time than George foreman was. The Mob had sonny throw the fight ! hell not like it's inconceivable...

​@@Soldier-for-TMHthe 2nd fight sonny threw it

Absolutely CORRECT and true

It was like The Matrix.

BS, he was defeated by 5 different opponents.

@@johnharris8191 Show me one undefeated heavyweight boxer. I’ll wait. In fact, Ali was never knocked out in his entire career, something barely any fighter can say. Ali had the best ever chin in boxing history, and because of that chin he suffered from Parkinson’s in his 30’s. He is the most confident boxer to have ever lived. I believe you put any boxer in the ring with Ali, and they fight until one falls down, Ali beats every boxer in history and is always the one to remain standing. There’s a reason Mike Tyson cries every time he speaks about Ali, because Ali was special, cut from a different cloth.

@@RD-kh3xt You are a student of the game, unlike amateurish observer @john harris who simply wears his emotions on his sleeve shirt -- he never gets tired of singing his recurrent refrain of "5 losses". Ali's "losses" included the close but unanimous decision by Frazier that wasn't decided until the 15th round left hook knockdown. Then followed the split decision wins by Ken Norton and Leon Spinks. Then the ill-advised comeback challenge, at 38, versus heavyweight champion, all-time great and prime Larry Holmes. Then the swang song versus journeyman Trevor Berbick at almost the age of 40. A little correction, however. Officially Ali suffered a technical knockout loss as he quit on his stool against Holmes in 1980. But you are right, he was never really knocked OUT throughout his career courtesy of a chin of steel God endowed him with. No amount of training can make a difference to any fighter's jaw because either you are born with it or you don't have it, period. 'nuff said.

@@johnharris8191 I am sure you are an imbecile, singing your same, old tired refrain, boring the real fans of the game to sleep! It's beyond you to mouth off anything more engaging than "his ass whooped by 5 different opponents". Perhaps you got deadly jealous because your girlfriend sang Ali's praises, even when there was zero chance of Ali snatching her away from you! 'nuff said.

@@johnharris8191 shut up u piece of junk he is the greatest and will be till the world ends u understood harris u better

The Greatest retired undefeated, Catshit Clay was defeated by 5 different opponents.

​@@johnharris8191 You ok, did you hit your head?

@@randolorian7157 , No, but 5 different opponents hit Ali's head enough to close his big mouth.

@@johnharris8191 Making fun of Parkinsons is a real good look for the world to see. Remember what Ernie Terrell looked like after calling him Cassius Clay. Cherry picking fights to keep a clean record means nothing, Ali fought the toughest opponents and won. Mic Drop.

@@LegendsofBoxing thankssss

He sure did, he refused to go to Vietnam! Respect!

Yes indeed

Yes And he had those snappy jabs and hits that just jared people. A lot of folks said that when he hit his opponents, it would pop really loud, and that gets emotionally exuasting and frustrating. It confuses folks. George Forman said he hit him so many times so fast that he didn't know what was going on. 👍

மொக்கை

There was a comment above saying the fight was thrown, which surprised me. Great boxer as he had been, Liston was completely outclassed. That fight was only ever going to end one way.

The hands of a heavyweight shouldn't be that fast plus the guy looks like a welterweight on defense.

Don't forget he was purty too.

this person is crazy fast

“Person” lol

Prime Tyson destroys Ali. Just like Frazier did. This fight, Sonny 44 years old.

@@TTundragrizzlySo you're implying that Frazier "destroyed Ali"?! You cannot lie to an astute watcher of the game like yours truly. In their first fight in 1971 after years of forced layoff on account of refusal to be drafted for the Vietnam War, a rusty Ali went toe to toe against prime, reigning champion [by default] Joe Frazier. The fight was decided by Frazier's famous left hook that briefly dropped Ali in round 15. In their second fight, with each not being a reigning champion, Ali had Frazier in trouble late in the 2nd round when referee Tony Perez inexplicably intervened claiming that he thought the bell rang. This man seemed to have a personal beef with Ali who called him "a Puerto Rican thinking he was White" when he failed to penalize Chuck Wepner for his several rabbit punches in his title fight with Ali in 1975. Everybody knows what happened in the 3rd of the trilogy in the "Thrilla in Manilla" when Frazier, despite being ready to die to regain his title with both eyes shut, was forced to quit on his stool by his corner men -- a TKO in round 14. So how and where did Frazier "destroy Ali"? As for prime Tyson, Ali would whether the early storm and fury a la journeyman Buster Douglas, take him deep into rounds 8 to 10 and get him out of there by exhaustion. TKO round 10. 'nuff said.

@@TTundragrizzly and ali defeated frazier twice ,mf.

@@emekaezeokoli1287 lie? Do you know what a lie is? It’s my humble OPINION a prime Tyson busts Ali up. How tf is that a lie??? If I steal something and say I didn’t, THATS A LIE!! Smdh

@@TTundragrizzly He's calling you a liar because you said Frazier destroyed Ali when in fact their first fight was close and Ali won the trilogy. Ali would do to Tyson what Buster Douglas did to him.
