@@Rozza2k Aljo won the belt by headbutt to the knee. Meanwhile the UFC decided two Heavyweight champs were better than one, confusion, rankings, and integrity of the belt be damned.
The George Foreman against Moore might be my favorite moment in boxing history: A man haunted by his past, gives it one last go to achieve the seemingly impossible. Nobody believes he has a real chance, perhaps not even himself. Yet, forward he presses, utilizing every bit of willpower, strength, and grit he can summon. For thirty minutes, which is an ETERNITY in any high-level fight, he endures brutal punishment. Yet....Still....he presses forward. All he needs is a single moment, a flicker, a crack in the armor of his opponent, he just needs to keep enduring. It's so poetic. His journey is a perfect metaphor for life itself. If you want something badly, so badly you're willing to die for it, more often than not... you'll get it.
It is more poetic tan you written. He was a very mean man; everyone was afraid of him. He was invincible. Ali proved him that his ways are wrong. He rebel, until his quit boxing to start family, preach and help the poor. After long time, he returned to became world champion not as fearless juggernaut, but beloved pastor. I wonder no one made a movie about him. Maybe his story is too cliche even for Hollywood.
I almost agree with that...because it WAS..until Hopkins did what he did. George held legendary status for decades...but Bernard was our Philly local guy who defied more than winning the title at the oldest age...he beat the best there was and took our American pride back when we were robbed during the trinidad/De la Hoya fight. He bet his whole fight purse on himself and waved the flags in the middle of the ring.
This right now should be the definitive list. Proper production quality, and that smooth delivery. Joe Vincent has the best sports docs on TH-cam by miles.
People get stripped or retire. There will always be a debate when that happens. This is a list of when a man beats the man. That can't be disputed. I follow mma much more closely. Was DC ever the lhw champ? You can argue no. That shouldn't be forgotten 30 years from now. A lineal list is just that and there's no argument. It doesn't tell the whole story. It's not definitive. If it were you wouldn't need the qualifier "linear".
16:32 It makes me kinda sad how Sonny Liston had so much potential after getting the title, yet the world saw him only as a thug and a violent man; so much so that no one showed up to his return when he became champ. He even hugged Patterson almost like he was asking “am I worthy of this title?” It’s really a shame how he died.
That's the problem in the old days if you're gonna get a time machine before you get famous try your best not to get the bad spotlight. Sonny Liston's media life is a case study.
Yes he was judged by his past which is shameless, if he wwre British he would have had a huge turnout for he's procession instead of none absolutely dispicable and inexcusable of the American people, Rule Britania 🇬🇧!!!!

One of the best Mike Tyson Quotes ever, it's actually my favourite because he's Just knocked a man out like a savage and the proceeds to use the word "primitive" while giving savage analysis on KO'd opponent, there's a whole nuance to who's saying it, how it's said and when it's said, its so good you could use that sound bite of his "boom perfect timing" just to represent how came out with it 😂🤣😂

The Lineal has always been a better way to measure who the real champion is rather than the alphabet soup of different (and equally corrupt) organizations giving out belts and taking large sanctioning fees for the privilege-- WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF. And is it a belt for the regular champion or the super champion or the interim champion? Boxing is such a badly run sport, it's remarkable it still exists.
Add to that, there are so many weight divisions now. It's a joke. Plus, you have fighters who are champions of one sanctioning body and yet not even rated in the top ten in another.
There should only 1 champ per weight class it would be better at determining who is the best in ever weight class instead of people claim they are the best when they won a vacant belt.
@@ChappoGucciMal I think most boxing fans will agree with you. The problem is the sanctioning bodies. Each one seems hell-bent on having their own champ.

Sounds great, all he needs to do now is beat the WBO champ, and he is the undisputed division champion. This is the part that's fucked up. He enters negotiations with the WBO champ's promoter to have a fight with all the belts on the line.

The most difficult story to tell is how the evil racists cajoled Jim Jefferies out of a six year retirement. And after he had retired undefeated 19 and 0. He said they hounded him night and day to come back to dethrown the young black champion Jack Johnson. Jim was 315lbs fat and happy on his farm and told the bastards a thousand times that he did not have what it took to beat a young champ. Jim was over 35 yo and had not fought in 6 years. But the racist mob forced him to get back in shape to beat the black champion. He only lasted to the 15th rounds. They banned black people from boxing for years afterwards. Many blacks were murdered. Jim was never a racist but the mob was so persuasive that he was swept into that frenzy. The amazing thing though is that - to this day even old black boxing experts say the best there ever was - will always be "The Great White Hope". Jim Jefferies - he is boxing's best champion forever.

I'll never forget the moment Tyson got knocked out. We were having a PPV party fully expecting Tyson to quickly dispatch Buster Douglas and when Tyson went down you could have inserted softballs into our stunned, open mouths. It reminds you that the dream is what creates that burning hunger inside a fighter. Once that dream has been realized, the real challenge is finding a way to keep that hunger alive. Not an easy thing to do when you suddenly have more money than God and women lined up like vipers to get their piece of you.
Yea but he beat buster that night , 13 seconds Douglas got. The official ringside counter had him out and let him up on 9 where as he counted Mike out at 9 smh Don King had his hand in that pot there cuz Mike had a intense fight with him earlier about his money, but Don escaped the altercation by showing Mike the new video game Punch Out. I remember watching that fight with my whole boxing club and we were all very disappointed and we vcr taped and dubbed it. I remember growing up counting to that getting past 10 no matter how slow we counted. Lesson learned there love all but trust few to none because there is always a few you can trust with your life especially if the task has given a few times and they did just that.
Joseph Vincent you are truly immortalising the sweet science. These videos and the commentary are an encyclopedia of boxing. It's a collection which we get for free. God bless you
I watch a lot of different sports documentaries that I'm interested in,, aaand to be honest,,, this channel's docs are so much better than anyone's else I can think of right now. Amazing work my friend!! Much appreciated, thanks for all you do! Peace and love from Greece.
This is really a refreshing overview of boxing and truly, world history; as opposed to what Secret Base most recently pumped out. Keep kicking butt, and I look forward to more!
The man has a gift, as many have said below, nobody does it better on youtube then Joe does. Loved it from start to finish, a boxing geeks wet dream! Thanks, and eagerly waiting for your next vid to drop!
I had known of Rocky since I was a kid. Tyson's era. When I saw how hard he struck opponents I really couldn't believe it. Then I looked at physical makeup. Ideally not tall enough. But solid build. Ideally arms not long enough. But like Aaron Donald playing defensive tackle, arguably aside from QB toughest in the sport to dominate. Marciano had little wasted motion from windup to contact and once the combinations landed good night Irene. When we saw Tyson same thing very solid leverage compact stocky and blessed with handspeed at that size.
You have to also consider that Walcott was winning by a wide margin at that point. Walcott was rightly confident that he could beat Rocky. He knocked Rocky down for the first time in his career, and nearly had him down two or three other times. Rocky couldn't even see him in three of the rounds due to his eyes being shut by Walcott's jab and hook combinations. At the very end of the 13th round Rocky did catch him when he had to. It's similar to how Joe Lewis was losing to Billy Conn, then at the end of the 13th con got too cocky and got himself knocked out. Had Walcott been 10 years younger, Rocky Marciano would never have beaten him. Wolcott wasn't 39 or 40 when they met, he was older than that. Joe Walcott's own mother estimates he was born in 1911. This is why Larry Holmes was so mad at being put down the list from Rocky Marciano. When he first lost to Michael spinks, Larry Holmes stated that Rocky was in his twenties fighting men in their 30s and 40s when he was champion, which was true. Meanwhile Larry was the guy in his 30s taking on prime challengers in their twenties, and still made 20 tile defenses. Rocky suffered from the same type of thing that Larry Holmes did, lack of adequate competition. The only competition that Rocky had was in getting the title in the first place from an old fighter way past his prime, and he's still almost lost.
@@yawnnlawnn7067 he was a great at his time but the sport has to evolve Tyson was also a legend imo Mike wins but let's just appreciate them as both legends

Tyson should've never lost to buster. The ref gave him a 13 count. I know Tysons mental health wasn't where it was supposed to be but he still won that fight
@@jacqueszeal5797 buster was not out man he has his head up watching the ref ,,had the ref got to 9 any sooner buster would've been up b cuz he was paying attention to the REF ... question is what kept Tyson from outboxing buster when buster got up ??
Im not sure what or how they made this video but its amazing to see the old fights look not choppy. They look much smoother and less primitive. I LOVE this
Imo there's a ton of very great champions that ain't given enough attention... most people know Joe frazier beating ali... or Larry Holmes for losing to tyson and beating ali. All that aside we need a new undisputed.... my vote is on fury but I don't mind tbh.... i like the top 5 all contenders for undisputed (fury,AJ,Wilder,usyk and whyte)

This channel, along w Motivedia, produce the most epic works on boxing. Seriously…this kind of stuff can’t even be found on television. Superb production. Excellent voice over work, clean edits, powerful story telling.
The world needs you to highlight Holmes 30:32. No doubt an unsung great. Your production quality is world class bro. Thanks for sharing these with the world and all the best to you JV.
For those who don't know Max Schmeling, he was a damn good fighter. Take the time to watch some of his fights. He beat the great Joe Louis by KO in a masterclass. It doesn't do him justice to remember him as "the DQ champion", it was just an unfortunate circumstance.
thats why i gave this video a thumbs down and unsubbed from the channel actual find it appalling to leave out Max so if a champ was a Trump supporter you would of left him out i bet you they would of Soy channel

Got into boxing a month ago and was hearing this term thrown around a lot. Thanks for making it as entertaining as the rest of your docs
Bro what term yo!!
Heavyweight ? Lol
@@jeremyness2395 lineal champ
@@2dboxing Appreciate u letting me know. Same here actually as far as what that term meant
You can really see how boxing evolved during the heavyweight championship timeline, from the styles to the arenas the matches took place in.
Yea it’s fun to watch the progression threw the years
Not just boxing
I grew up watching this sport...knew it's history and respected it...watched the 70's threw till now...this is the greatest documentary ever made
Ty...big joe...absolutely love your work brother ❤ 💪 💙 🙌 👏
The most difficult story to tell is how the evil racists
cajoled Jim Jefferies out of a six year retirement.
And after he had retired undefeated 19 and 0.
He said they hounded him night and day to come back
to dethrown the young black champion Jack Johnson.
Jim was 315lbs fat and happy on his farm and told the
bastards a thousand times that he did not have what
it took to beat a young champ. Jim was over 35 yo and
had not fought in 6 years. But the racist mob forced him
to get back in shape to beat the black champion. He only
lasted to the 15th rounds. They banned black people from
boxing for years afterwards. Many blacks were murdered.
Jim was never a racist but the mob was so persuasive that
he was swept into that frenzy. The amazing thing though
is that - to this day even old black boxing experts say
the best there ever was - will always be "The Great White Hope".
Jim Jefferies - he is boxing's best champion forever.
i just i’ve to say you’re the greatest edit/video/documentary creator of all time, i’m getting into car photography and edits and it’s not easy but it’s getting easier the more i learn, but it’s very impressive the work you do and you’re definitely the greatest and an inspiration!!
Editing goat. I know the youtube algo isn’t always the nicest to you so I make sure to drop a like and a comment
Marcianos knockout of Walcott is one of the most brutal in boxing history

@@playtime5051 jefferries was a racist he said he wouldn’t fight jack Johnson because he did t want a black man holding a white mans trophy and Jim was not the best champion. We all know who the best champion in boxing was and is… Muhammad Ali.
@@playtime5051 past records mean nothing records themselves mean nothing look at wilder he was undefeated against tomato cans but Ali fought the best of his era and that was the best era.
@@playtime5051 George wasn’t a boxer he was a puncher. And I see you’re a bit of a racist and you’re saying Ali didn’t serve his country no one agreed with the war in Vietnam blacks were the ones who were dying the most in the western army so why should he fight for a country who hated him called him a nigger and was against his religious beliefs.
@@BlackWolf-el3gu Marciano literally fought them beat of this time. Unless your want to argue Moore wasn't the greatest light heavyweight champion. I mean seriousness Marciano has not controversy or ducked anyone.
Nobody brings it home like Joe Vincent! (Rummy did a great video a few years back, this is a quality update. Much love homie!)
Foreman's victory over Moorer is one of those ones that gives you goosebumps every time you watch it.
Joe Louis was a hero. Such strength of character and the most powerful punches to go with it.
I was literally thinking today: when will Joseph Vincent Upload another boxing video because there the best on TH-cam. And boom perfect timing he delivers. Love your work brother❤️🏆
I'll never forget the moment Tyson got knocked out. We were having a PPV party fully expecting Tyson to quickly dispatch Buster Douglas and when Tyson went down you could have inserted softballs into our stunned, open mouths. It reminds you that the dream is what creates that burning hunger inside a fighter. Once that dream has been realized, the real challenge is finding a way to keep that hunger alive. Not an easy thing to do when you suddenly have more money than God and women lined up like vipers to get their piece of you.
What goes up - must come down.
Yea but he beat buster that night , 13 seconds Douglas got. The official ringside counter had him out and let him up on 9 where as he counted Mike out at 9 smh Don King had his hand in that pot there cuz Mike had a intense fight with him earlier about his money, but Don escaped the altercation by showing Mike the new video game Punch Out. I remember watching that fight with my whole boxing club and we were all very disappointed and we vcr taped and dubbed it. I remember growing up counting to that getting past 10 no matter how slow we counted. Lesson learned there love all but trust few to none because there is always a few you can trust with your life especially if the task has given a few times and they did just that.
And that’s what makes Ali the goat. And even puts foreman, Lennox Lewis, and a cpl others ahead of Tyson.
Thank you again Joe for bring the history of boxing in a such cool way. This make me want to learn and figth even more
Awesome, glad to hear it
@@JoeVincentPresents your videos are helping me to practice my inglish to ( support from Argentina 🥊)
@@JoeVincentPresents would Tyson in his prime years have beaten Holyfield and Lennox?
@@JSM8885 idk about Holyfield but Lewis prob
@@JSM8885 Tyson in his prime was the best, better than any other boxer ever in my opinion.
Foreman literally beat Frazier up like he was a littling. That 1st knockdown had Frazier flying through the air like a rag doll.
Joseph Vincent you are truly immortalising the sweet science. These videos and the commentary are an encyclopedia of boxing. It's a collection which we get for free. God bless you
Seconds in and already know this will be an all timer 🙏🏾
Thanks!
Oh snap!!!! Joe vincent hits us with an hr of pure gold. Thanks folks, the day just got better
that was incredibly fun to watch, THANK YOU!!
This is right up there with those NFL greatest games docs that were narrated by that one guy with the voice … this is amazing work
Wow, what a documentary! Excellent production, script, and footage. Great job Joseph!
I watch a lot of different sports documentaries that I'm interested in,, aaand to be honest,,,
this channel's docs are so much better than anyone's else I can think of right now.
Amazing work my friend!! Much appreciated, thanks for all you do!
Peace and love from Greece.
This is really a refreshing overview of boxing and truly, world history; as opposed to what Secret Base most recently pumped out. Keep kicking butt, and I look forward to more!
Thanks for the support!
I use
Not that there’s anything wrong with Secret Base’s style of documentary. Just different styles, I enjoy them both.

No words could describe how much I love these videos. I'm speechless.. thank you Joe and all the best 👍
A great cigar and a Joe Vincent video... My god life is good
The man has a gift, as many have said below, nobody does it better on youtube then Joe does. Loved it from start to finish, a boxing geeks wet dream! Thanks, and eagerly waiting for your next vid to drop!
This is a masterpiece! thank you for being this to the world
That Rocky knockout is terrifying
I had known of Rocky since I was a kid. Tyson's era. When I saw how hard he struck opponents I really couldn't believe it. Then I looked at physical makeup. Ideally not tall enough. But solid build. Ideally arms not long enough. But like Aaron Donald playing defensive tackle, arguably aside from QB toughest in the sport to dominate. Marciano had little wasted motion from windup to contact and once the combinations landed good night Irene. When we saw Tyson same thing very solid leverage compact stocky and blessed with handspeed at that size.
@@rockabye_baby187 Nah Tyson overrated Rocky kills him
You have to also consider that Walcott was winning by a wide margin at that point. Walcott was rightly confident that he could beat Rocky. He knocked Rocky down for the first time in his career, and nearly had him down two or three other times. Rocky couldn't even see him in three of the rounds due to his eyes being shut by Walcott's jab and hook combinations.
At the very end of the 13th round Rocky did catch him when he had to. It's similar to how Joe Lewis was losing to Billy Conn, then at the end of the 13th con got too cocky and got himself knocked out.
Had Walcott been 10 years younger, Rocky Marciano would never have beaten him. Wolcott wasn't 39 or 40 when they met, he was older than that. Joe Walcott's own mother estimates he was born in 1911.
This is why Larry Holmes was so mad at being put down the list from Rocky Marciano. When he first lost to Michael spinks, Larry Holmes stated that Rocky was in his twenties fighting men in their 30s and 40s when he was champion, which was true. Meanwhile Larry was the guy in his 30s taking on prime challengers in their twenties, and still made 20 tile defenses.
Rocky suffered from the same type of thing that Larry Holmes did, lack of adequate competition. The only competition that Rocky had was in getting the title in the first place from an old fighter way past his prime, and he's still almost lost.
@@yawnnlawnn7067 rocky would get his ass handed to him by Tyson Ali Foreman and fraizer
@@yawnnlawnn7067 he was a great at his time but the sport has to evolve Tyson was also a legend imo Mike wins but let's just appreciate them as both legends
This is a history lesson to all and I appreciate your work brother.
Thanks for making this strange world we all live in so much better.
Cheers 🍻
As usual out fucking standing video, editing, voice commentary...best history in sports channel you are the KING
I love the quality of your production, and the immersive narration that you accomplish, keep bringing it just like you know, we appreciate your effort.
Thanks for the kind comment!
Man, I can only imagine how long this took to make. I usually come here to watch your football videos but damn I am so hooked watching this video right now. You could make a video about farming and I'll be first up in line to watch it. It's truly true that NOBODY does it like Joe Vincent!
This is amazing! Please keep doing more videos like this. I love the historical aspect as well as your commentary and sound bits that you use. One of my favorites that you’ve put out and I try to watch them all
You make the best videos Joe, no lie! Appreciate the hard work and dedication my man! Im here for all this!!
Joseph, I have worked as an editor for some big YT names and I can only say.... You're the best in the game. 'Nuff said.
What a video man 👌🏽 that’s some footage that even some of the biggest boxing fans might never have seen 👍🏼 excellent mate
I've watched many of your videos joe, I love the boxing ones, and alongside the Michael Jordan, this is probably my favourite!
The history, information and editing 👌 Thank you sincerely for the time you take to create them.
Tyson should've never lost to buster. The ref gave him a 13 count. I know Tysons mental health wasn't where it was supposed to be but he still won that fight
Enough with the Mike Tyson excuses.
@@kummakummakummakummakummac8606 how is that an excuse?
There's more excuses for Mike Tyson than I can count. If this happened. If that happened. It's ridiculous.
@@kummakummakummakummakummac8606 i never said if this happened or that happened. I said it was a delayed count...
@@jacqueszeal5797 buster was not out man he has his head up watching the ref ,,had the ref got to 9 any sooner buster would've been up b cuz he was paying attention to the REF ... question is what kept Tyson from outboxing buster when buster got up ??
2:54 you probably didn't notice but that's sam Langford another legendary fighter to the right.
Im not sure what or how they made this video but its amazing to see the old fights look not choppy. They look much smoother and less primitive. I LOVE this
Thankyou for putting together this masterpiece for all of us.
Brilliantly done & edited. A great reference for people to learn from. An upload to be proud of.! Props to you. Bless up bro 👊
Another certified banger from Joe Vincient. It's just like they say, "nobody brings it home like, Joe Vincient."
Nobody
13:51 Boom! Perfect Timing
28:10 BOOM! Perfect Timing
Thanks to this channel I’ve learned a lot about Boxing history
"Is that all you've got George". George must have been thinking this man is insane.
Great video as always, I often think the Klitschko brothers are never given enough attention in lineal heavyweight videos though!
Imo there's a ton of very great champions that ain't given enough attention... most people know Joe frazier beating ali... or Larry Holmes for losing to tyson and beating ali. All that aside we need a new undisputed.... my vote is on fury but I don't mind tbh.... i like the top 5 all contenders for undisputed (fury,AJ,Wilder,usyk and whyte)
Because they weren’t lineal champs. 😂
@@newagain9964 it’s for debate, some lineal champion timelines list klitchkos, some don’t. It’s subjective due to retirements etc. I think they both were.
@@dersatic9994 it’s not subjective. Even if we’re being liberal on the definition, Lennox was last lineal champ. And he retired with title. Technically Joe Louis was the last.
@@newagain9964 hundreds of boxing historians and boxers disagree with you. It’s subjective.
Absolutely beautiful film. That old footage was wonderful in colour. I wish you showed more of mike, rather than 1 win and then his loss . But otherwise perfect. Big love from the UK 🇬🇧
To watch this lineage of heavyweight champions; some were perhaps one-hit wonders, others were complete legends of the sport. Awesome video, truly enjoyed it.
Can be carnera recognized as one of the legends of the sport?
Hands down 1 of the best TH-cam channels EVER!!!
Fabulous video Joseph. Even though we know he outcome of each every fight you sizzle that steak with the talking heads nomenclature, dramatic tension only a great videomaker can create. I was actually invested in this :). Fabulous work brother!
Wow jv you gave us the Boxing Webster dictionary version of heavy weight championship all in one big take “boom perfect timing’’
I'm officially signing up to your Paetreon. No ways 😭 this is the best channel for boxing fans on TH-cam!!
Thank you
I just found your channel, but I have binged every boxing video. Man these are well put together. Thank you for these videos!
Thank you for the support!
Great production,quality videos,great documentarys...well done mate,you re doing a great job
Watched every single boxing documentary on your channel. I'm grateful as always.
Put this video great I love every second of this especially being a boxing fan get to see all the history in boxing especially in the heavyweight division Great video once again.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
No one puts it together like Joe! Love this vid and love your channel! Hopefully this can showcase the importance of lineal to the younger boxing fans.
Ali, Foreman and Mike Tyson ... still unmatched accomplishment!!!
Rocky.
Louis and Lewis
@@BellsandJessRocky. 😂paper champ. 😑
11:09 holy crap look at Rockys tooth go flying! Jersey Joe and Rocky, two of the GOATS for sure!
Man, love the comedy bits, so original amd fun to watch, cheers brother.
What a great way to spend a rainy afternoon. "nobody brings it home*. I think what strikes me is what a relatively short list of men this is.
Glad to see how far you’ve come since the bored film grad days man I remember when you had 100k
This channel, along w Motivedia, produce the most epic works on boxing. Seriously…this kind of stuff can’t even be found on television. Superb production. Excellent voice over work, clean edits, powerful story telling.
The world needs you to highlight Holmes 30:32. No doubt an unsung great. Your production quality is world class bro. Thanks for sharing these with the world and all the best to you JV.
This is fantastic, I learned a lot more than I expected to. Amazing work!
The knock outs back in the day looked way more brutal, they stay down longer.
For those who don't know Max Schmeling, he was a damn good fighter. Take the time to watch some of his fights. He beat the great Joe Louis by KO in a masterclass. It doesn't do him justice to remember him as "the DQ champion", it was just an unfortunate circumstance.
thats why i gave this video a thumbs down and unsubbed from the channel actual find it appalling to leave out Max so if a champ was a Trump supporter you would of left him out i bet you they would of Soy channel
Paid For Louis's Funeral
@@foulmouthflip you call people soy and sensitive and shit yet you're so butthurt you bring daddy trump into everything, I hated trump but I didn't need to bring it up every time I talked. I also hate Biden, just so you know.
@@foulmouthflip Punctuation and grammar is important to seem understandable.
Max was one of the greats. He was also a great man of character. He remained friends with Louis until his passing. Don't believe the hype
"No one brings it home like Joe Vincent.. NOBODY"
Love it!
Thanks for this video. Every time I try to explain my friends about different titles, sanctioning bodies, belts, historic bouts, particular fighters, I fail. You are saving people lots of research on many websites with this video.
This is so good, I had to watch it again.! Props to you. Bless up bro 👊
Damn Joe, espn gotta catch up to this quality. LOVE IT!!!
I’ll Prove that I am still the fastest, Prettiest, most Classiest, Most Scientific and Greatest Fighter of All Time !!!!!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 RIP LEGEND
Great history lesson here never knew some of this stuff great again Joe 👍👏🙏
Well you can easily tell who your favorite fighter is.. lol great video man. Quality stuff keep em coming
I didnt expect to watch all of that but that was fantastic, well done
