floyd was so laidback
It’s amazing to be able to watch these moments today 🙏👏🔥
RIP Ali and Patterson both had class
Yes they certainly did. But they seemed to be very different private
Floyd was a great technical fighter with fast hands and decent power but Muhammad was just so much bigger and had similar skills
The steps From
MR ALI MAY YOU Rest in Peace
Gotta love the ali shuffle!!!
Patterson was 37 to old for fighting Ali.
Tyrone Price his movement was ok for 37 years and for heavyweights its still an age to fight but i think the Problem was that floyd was Not a nature heavyweight because when i spar in Training with guys 5-10Kg more than me i can feel more pressure and its not easy.. just my thoughts but we Will Never know. Both fighters were Great in our lovely Boxing Sport and yeah my english sucks greetings from Germany
@@k4rl384 Thank you for your comment peace and blessings forever. Ali was A superb younger and skillful fighter and at 37 Paterson should not took that fight. He was already to slow for Ali hands and feet speed my opinion.
@@tyroneprice6642 Floyd showed tremendous valiance in what seemed to be an impossible fight for him to win. His stamina and defence was superb for a man of his age, especially considering the D'Amato 'peekaboo' style is a high intensity and highly demanding one. A gentleman and a kind spirited one on top of if all 👌🏼
Patterson was a warrior till the end!
@@k4rl384 That just proves Patterson was a great fighter pound to pound because all throughout his boxing career he fought men way heavier and taller. So Floyd deserves to be ranked as a top 20 in my view of all time. A great man
This was the second fight with Floyd. One in the ‘60s, one in the ‘70s.
Patterson’s biggest fan was president Kennedy back when he was reigning and at his prime. In this video he looked done 😂
Did you actually see the fight, 37 years old in that shape, still lightning fast.
Ali. I stg I love dis man. lol He so real
Floyd looks beat already.
indeed, he does not sound confident at all
In his mind he knew this was his last fight, plus Floyd was always a chill guy.
Floyd was very modest and humble and a realist
He was by know means scared. It was a misconception based on his demeanor
He said it depends on "how I lose"
Floyd is looking at a huge payday and a good exit
Ali shuffle? Don't watch his feet, watch his eyes. The shuffle is a minor distraction. Looking could get you KO'd.
Maybe you can spell his name correctly! It’s Muhammad Ali
they had Floyd at 6 ft hes about 5 11
This one girl asked me how tall I was I told her 5'11 & was like so you're 6 ft. I'm like 😒 how many inches in a foot.... I don't fw her no more
Floyd was a legitimate 6 foot
Old Floyd Patterson didn't sound very confident.
Late reply but Floyd Patterson was always an introvert, he was never confident and he was overly humbled
Floyd was beaten before he got in the ring. he looked scared
He was hes last figth he dosent be in shape and was old and tired

Floyd was ahead on points in the 8th. His eye closed up and the ref stopped the fight. If he hadn't he might've retired after having just beat Muhammad Ali. His daughter was frightened of him after seeing him get hit and he promised never to box again.
Why would a guy who took on Liston be afraid of Ali? Ali might have been more skilled, but Liston was the most dangerous guy to get hit by up until Tyson came along. Floyd had the heart of a lion.
@@Cableguy15 "up until Tyson came along"
No, Liston hit the hardest until Shavers came along, and Shavers only hit harder with his right hand. Sonny hit harder from other angles.
There's no question that Liston was a much harder hitter than Tyson.
Of course he was raring to go, Floyd was already a shot fighter by the time they fought. Never understood the need for a rematch either.
Ali made it happen to help Floyd pay off his debt to the IRS.
@@thelevisullivan He earned the fight by winning eight straight comeback fights and beating Bonavena . Ringo put Frazier on the mat twice in the first round of a ten rounder and later went 15 with him. He also gave Ali a tough fight which was championship distance even though it was not for the title. Ringo lasted until the last round before being stopped.
Ring Magazine posted a story at the time "After Beating the Man who gave Ali and Frazier fits Patterson deserves a shot" Floyd picked Bonavena for this reason but waited almost two years for the fight because of a Hand injury to Bonavena. Floyd was offered a shot at Foreman but would rather fight Ali. Ali wasn't doing him favors. Floyd filled MSG to capacity against Bonavena. Ali knew he was a good draw and he'd make $. Floyd put up a surprisingly good fight for 7 rounds and was on his feet when the Fight was stopped because of a cut over his left eye that originated in the 3rd Johannson fight. When fighters get older old cut injuries will open up again quite easily. that left eye nagged him in almost all of his eight comeback fights starting with the Charley green fight. I don't know about that IRS thing, I think it was a writers invention by the last biographer. At the time all the Sports writers were stating he didn't need to fight he was a millionaire.Be Careful. There are six different guys telling you they have the "real" story on the Liston -Clay fight. They all say they have the inside scoop, sonny didn't train. It was the Mob. No, it was the Muslims. Ali was too good, etc...
There's no need for any fight. They do it for money. Ali knew Floyd was a big draw at MSG as his comeback fight fight with Bonavena packed the house. Watch it on you tube. The crowd is chanting Floyd Floyd Floyd ....He was loved in NY, Ali was looking at a million + for an easy fight.
No body that was "Shot" could beat the Bull from South America. The strongman who put Frazier on the floor twice. you had to be top notch to beat a fighter like him.He only lost to the best. Floyd was not in his prime by any means but kept himself in prime condition. He had some good exchanges with Ali in this one, surprising Cossell and did not go down. The fight was stopped by the opening of what was a chronic cut that dogged him during his comeback.
Ali liked Floyd. He knew that Patterson was on his way out and wanted to give him one last big payday. It turned out to be Patterson's final fight.
Floyd cant talk. lol
I don't think you know this but Floyd by far is the most modest, Nicest and the most gentle boxer to live he was a meek guy who didn't boast and was very soft spoken guy . Plus he knew he couldn't "out talk" Ali
Checkers Lane actually look up some documentary interviews of floyd
Hes extremely well versed and cerebral and intellectual and has alot to say
He was just a quiet, softspoken guy. Few words
Amazing athleticism from Muhammad, look at that shuffle etc., lightning fast!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Ali shuffle can't be copied

@Anthony Landon absolutely true not even the most skilled fighter's can copy his shuffle. his footwork is unmatched Ali is a giant
Floyd was too nice a gentleman to be a boxer. Guess it paid the bills though.

Floyd NEVER had a chance!
