@@anthonybryant1969 ...they are not even in the same class. Larry does not even come close! Not to Liston, Patterson or a host of the other top tier fighters a young Ali demolished
Say whatever you want about Ali. Though he talked in a brash manner, he backed up his confidence with victories over higher ranked opponents or reigning world champions. A confident man who proved himself again and again.
ALI was a 7-1 underdog against LISTON. ALI'S first fight win against LISTON elevated him as the GREATEST PRO BOXER. Post fight when he talked to reporters, he asked "Who's the GREATEST?", EVERYONE was QUIET. ALI asked the same question again, a few reporters replied "You ARE" 🐐
Angelo Dundee did another great job as Clay's trainer and handler, advising him keeping Clay calm and telling Clay too just run, then changing sponges and water Angelo knew Clay was ahead in the fight and didn't want to blow it. Angelo knew Clay was too fast for Liston. Best fight of the 60s

@@alcipta4920 : Judging by your profile pic, you’re way too young to know what the hell you’re talking about, whereas I had my ear glued to a transistor radio that night on February 25th 1964, when the Louisville Lip was still officially named Cassius Marcellus Clay and billed accordingly. It wasn’t until March 6th, that Clay officially became Ali, and those are the simple facts. So once again, do some research before making a fool of yourself, and spare me the sanctimonious politically correct slave name bullshit. It’s totally beside the point and you know it.
This is one of Ali greatest accomplishments as a fighter that's why a young Ali beats Larry Holmes in his prime 🥊

@@Ena-kc5fxagreed 💯
Ali of 64. 74.78 would beat Holmes but in 1980 he was to old and illness never should have been in ring
😂🎉 1:36
Ali in his prime? Can not be beaten!

The young Ali was too fast and skilled for Liston who had vastly underestimated him.
All that crazy stuff Ali was saying, you can tell he had been watching a lot of wrestling

It was 8 to 1.
Ali was so wonderful and entertaining. If you can do it, its not bragging🎉😊❤❤❤
ALI ... the GREATEST... 👍
The poet and the beast
I remember as a kid listening to this fight on the radio and rooting for Liston. Hard to believe..
Did anyone else notice that when ever Ali got knocked down,he got right back up and continued to fight?
Yes I noticed that. He could take a punch. The GOAT.
Joe Frazier broke Ali’s jaw early in their first fight that went to a decision for Frazier. Ali could take a punch and endure pain.
Uh....like....everyone? Your powers of observation are light years behind your powers of self-promotion.
@TheLarryBrown what are you talking about CLOWN 🤡
Sonny was throwing bombs 💣 at Ali and if it was not for the swift sways and body movement of Ali, Ali would have been swatted like a fly!
Yeah, except he wasn't.

I've never seen anyone miss so much as Liston it wore him out

He did 2 fights of the decade in one life time... forward to Ali. Foreman. Anyone else??
Ali-Frazier III was a better fight that Ali-Foreman.
@@Lava1964 ..personally am always intrigued when mind overcomes mattar.. it's the Foreman fight for me.
No it's 3, you are forgetting about the joe Frazier fights.
@@MitchellGarrett-gh9ix ...but they were in the 70's too... the second decade.
And BIG GEORGE FOREMAN
Muhammad ALI simply the Greatest of all times ❤️💚❤️💚
When liston couldn't even beat the blind Ali he said im outta here
AMERICAN TOOK WHITES ALI BEST YEARS HE WOULD GO IN ARMY ALI WOULD LOST FIGHT !
You need to work on your grammar! That's an incoherent mess.@@otisperry5938
Exactly right!
And by-gone era, when the HW boxing title was the biggest prize in all of sports, wasn't no super bowl
Sonny might have been 45 years old
So then he was 12 when he won his first pro bout?
Ali knew how to entertain a crowd and put customers in the seats. I was surprised when I learned about his fighting with damaged hands.
" you cant hit what you cant see !" ( ali s. " genius 👏
I love people who's in the state of telling trust they never considered religion or anything barrier among the people 💪🇳🇬
I must be the greatest 😢
Amazing : " clay can only half see and liston still cant hit clay !"
Liston must have been the motivation for Clubber Lang. He appears to be throwing bombs with every punch.
Ali knew one thing that is still true, tough guys don't know how to handle "crazy" guys
correction: CASSIUS CLAY vs Sonny Liston !
Ali said I'll kiss his feet if he beat me lol
"If I lose I'll leave the country." Who said it first: Ali or Howard Hughes?
Something Ive noted since childhood... Sonny Liston lost to the same person under different names ..1St as Clay, then as Ali
Alli is too great, he is a man of God, God blessed.
A very strange finish even to this day. Ali didn't punish sonny that much surely?
May, Allah rest in piece Muhsmmad Ali
Liston's camp cheated by puting chemical to distract Clay's vision.
But karma is real
That's Not True
" in a " bar fight " clay would also win 🏆 👏 !"😅
WOW- LOOKING AT THIS ON 8/2024,I SEE SKINNY- NO THIN LEGS ON LISTON.
LISTONS CALVES CAN'T BE MORE THEN 11"S AROUND.

his name is Ali, what’s with this cassius bs
Do some research before talking bs.
@@ArkyMalarkey he would not want to be called by his slave name numbnuts
@@ArkyMalarkey so i should call him by his slave name?

Ditto from this 71yr old Ali got me following boxing ever since that Liston fight.. Well said 👍@@ArkyMalarkey
Ali, quedó con 'parkinson',de los golpes recibidos
Big mouth ali
Damn right.
correction: big mouth CASSIUS CLAY draft dodger !!!!!!!!
Oh you are so clever Anthony! Let me try one for you: "No mas Gomas."
A fool is recognized bye his multitude of word's.
We'll let you be right. And in your case, nine words qualifies as "a multitude."
The dive of the century
No actually. I had dinner there last night.
Ali the G.O.A.T
Md Ali Vs Sonny Liston DanielCorrmier
It's Muhammad Ali. Thats his name, and that's the name he said he wants, so benefit from his video, kindly accord it with right label
Nine children bye six woman. Someone to look up to. Talk about being desperate for a hero.
Fought the most racist and most powerful government in the history of the world and won what have you done hero?
Pathetic
The devil was guiding Ali.
YOUR WRONG ASS HOLE IT WAS 4 DIP SHIT!!!!!
@coy matlock8711 : 9 children 6 women ?? " everyone loves sex " so what?
Ali is a fake. He's a dancer,not a boxer. Sonny Liston took a dive in both fights.💪👎👇⬇️⤵️🐥😹🍼
He quit, not the same thing, what fight were you watching?
Were u watching the back of the television? Ali is the greatest
Liston was a junkie too...clay was just a jerk with a narcissistic personality disorder
@@ezekwesiriamaechi according to Clay Lol...he was an idiot that failed the mental test for the military
Possibly. Sonny definitely wasn't in shape his first fight. Second fight: Sonny gave it up probably from the start. He saw the writing on the wall.
This fight was rigged!!,.. fake k.o.!!
Ali was the very definition of asshole
What does it matter? Either way Clay won.
