Ali's parkinsons started showing itself in 1978, speech problems, slower than normal. He did lose to spinks, but in 1979, he fought spinks again. And won. He then became the heavyweight champion for the 3rd time, 11 years older than spinks which is absolutely incredible for a heavyweight.
@@wooshbait36 Cringe, he was slower since 1975 after the thrilla in manila. He faced earnie shavers, and his speech slowed down by 16% after the fight, then he decided to retire until he fought spinks where he then lost. He then worked his ass off 24/7 training with that illness to get his HW champion role back. And he did. In 1980 he couldnt even fight back against holmes, he was completely suffering from parkinsons and that was only 4 years before his diagnose because diagnoses at that time were more inaccurate than a shotgun at long range. You should stop making things up.
After going 15 rounds with renowned heavy-hitter Earnie Shavers in 1977, during which Shavers struck him with 266 punches, Ali's speech slowed by 16 percent from the prefight rate. The data on punches in that bout and all others Ali fought are part of a statistical survey conducted by CompuBox, Inc., at Eig's behest. Keep coping buddy please just admit your braindead and lets get over it. @@wooshbait36
11:21..By taking that stand against the Vietnam War, Ali became a hero to many around the world--Africa, America's black community and most of all--In Vietnam. He visited there in the 90's and was hailed wherever he went. And oh, that slick boxing style--always rated in the top 3 GOATS by boxing critics worldwide..fastest heavyweight I've ever seen to this day.
I started watching then quickly gave up on this reaction video because this is not the right Greatest video to react to because you never get to hear from Ali himself. There's a much better video called MUHAMMAD ALI'S GREATEST FIGHTS WERE OUTSIDE OF THE RING. This version, is just the commentator constantly speaking on Muhammad Ali's behalf. Ali is so good in front of the camera, substituting his voice with that of a commentator is criminal, to say the least. In this video, they actually show the footage where Ali (sitting wearing a blue suit on a TV talk show) actually tells the story himself of how he was refused service in a whites-only restaurant downtown. It's a famous story and when Ali tells it, it is both tragic and funny as hell. This video doesn't come close to portraying what was most fascinating and beguiling about the man many say was the most famous person that ever lived. To mean that no person in all of human history has experienced his level of fame in their lifetime. Because of his boxing prowess, his infectious personality, and his preparedness at an early stage in his career (aged 23) to risk his career and even his life (they were assassinating outspoken leaders, especially black leaders in 1960s), and because it was taken for granted that he was bound to receive a long-term prison sentence for daring to refuse to go and fight in the Vietnam war, there was not a part of the world that you could travel to, where they had not heard of this unusually brave outspoken "Boxer." A boxer that dare to do, and say, and take a stand against things you just did not dare to do and say and take a stand against, in the 1960s. Certainly not if you were black (the Civil Rights movement had just won black people the right to vote the previous year). And because of this he was not only celebrated but loved and appreciated even in the most remote far-reaching corners of the globe. I don't know that anybody will attain that level of fame ever again. It was extraordinary.
I was in high school at the time when Ali refused to be inducted into the US Army. First of all, he was NOT going to be sent to Vietnam! Drafting him was a political move that backfired over time.Ali was also embraced by white individuals and organizations in the Peace Movement/ Anti-war as well. His family was NOT poor. There are millions of us Baby Boomers still walking this earth who were actually alive and old enough at the time to have some understanding of what was going on
@@yassandfats Joe Frazier was not an Uncle Tom. Also saying people wouldn’t blindly follow what others say is also false. We see it everyday on social media.
The thing to remember about Ali refusing to go to Vietnam is that it was made clear to him that he would not be fighting but giving boxing demonstrations for the troops. His was a decision made from principle not fear.
the thrilla in manilla, was brutal for both, even ali said he nearly died in the ring, as said by many people, a bit of ali was left in that ring, i dont think he was ever the same after that
I await another Muhammad Ali in my lifetime although it might not happen. He did say that another will come like him every 200 years or something. I guess thats fine because men like him r extremely rare individuals once in a lifetime once in a century.
the great thing with Ali, its not like today, where fights are hand picked, who ever is the best, he wanted to fight the best, never shyed away from anyone. he has alot of sayings, but to me the best one as he was getting older, he said, 'i im so fast, i can turn the light off and be in bed before the room gets dark) One time it really had me tearing up, was, it was huge secret to light the olympic flame in 1996 olympic games, he popped out of the stand, with the torch, parkinson's desease had him bad, but he lit the flame, was not a dry eye in the stadium
There are two men outside of my father. That I idolize Not just for who they were or what they were. But they're philosophies on life. Those 2 men Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee.
Truth was, Joe Frazier was a victim of Ali's diatribe like many of Ali's opponents. Ali later in years regretted what he did to Frazier and Frazier was deeply hurt for Ali's comments. Ali later did similar thing to Foreman in Africa without calling Foreman an uncle tom, but he used Foreman owning a German Shepherd dogs as his companion while training in Africa depicting what police dogs in America during the sixties civil unrest against blacks down south. People immediately understand that Ali is fighting for freedom and liberation of the black man, and Foreman in their minds represented the oppressor which was the American government and law enforcement.
@@crabb9966lmao « the other fights don’t matter » how convenient 😂 Btw Frazier almost died after the first fight, had to stay in the hospital for a whole month, do your homework or stfu
Ali was going to be in his best shape after the sonny Liston fight if he didn't have a long lay off due to the Vietnam protest. Ali was never the same, I think, after that long break. If you look at his body figure etc from before and after, you will be able to the differences. Ali during sonny liston days days was the best and even after he was still the best.
The "Rope a dope" was a strategic move because George was younger and stronger...mind games was used to frustrate him in order to put himself out while Ali kept his reserves
Ali has the best resume of all heavyweights. He fought against 37 top 10 ranked opposition. For reference, Mike Tyson only fought 11 top 10 ranked fighters. Ali had a total of 44 fights against Top rated opposition, HOF fighters, and champions... out of 61 fights. That is the highest percentage of top competition ratio wise in a fighters career. He fought everyone, and anyone, at their home turfs. His fists were (and are still) rated as the fastest measured of any fighter, at 4/100th of a second, which is the literal blink of an eye. To put it into perspective, Bruce Lee's punch was measured at 5/100th of a second, as was Sugar Ray Robinson's. Yeah, Ali at heavyweight had faster hands than any middleweight! For incredible things Ali did, he ounce saved 15 white American hostages from dictator Saddam Hussein by willingly going without his parkinsons medication and almost dying, only willing to be treated by Suddam Hussein's men so long as they let the hostages go. Ali is the GOAT.
Ali is the greatest.......probably the best and greatest human being that has lived. Tyson Fury is the closest to a people's champion since Ali! Great heavyweights transcend boxing and become icons of strength and honesty
if you ever watched the rocky movies, rocky 2 is based on the joe frazier fight, where joe did not come out for the last round, the rocky 3 fight, the second fight with clubber lang, is based on the george foreman fight, took everything george had, george tired, Ali spun of the ropes, game over, george even says, he punched him with everyhting he had, and Ali kept whispering in his ear, 'is that all you got george'
I was born in '71. My dad, to me, looks like Ali, especially in their prime. My dad was tall and very handsome, like Ali. In the mid-70s, I saw Ali lose a fight on TV and I screamed and cried in terror because I thought someone beat up my daddy. Even while typing this, I get a little teared up.
Joe Frazier was not an Uncle Tom at all and he helped Ali get his boxing license back. The things Ali said about Frazier in front of and to white people was shameful and hypocritical. Ali was a great boxer but like most people, he was a flawed man. That wasn’t one of his brighter moments and I wish more people would acknowledge that.
Ali was the greatest of all time, even mike tyson, even says in his prime, no one beats ali, There is a very good video on you tube at Ali 50th birthday, where billy crystal does ali's life in about 10 mins, its called 15 rounds. well worth a watch or reaction, MUHAMMAD ALI'S 50TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION - Billy Crystal performs 15 Rounds

Unfortunately with Joe Frazier, he was not an uncle tom or any of the horrible things Ali called him. Ali was just hurling insults for no reason. Joe actually financially supported Ali when Ali away from boxing, refused to call himself the true champion until Ali got his license back. In fact, Frazier is probably one of the the reasons Ali got his license back, because he lobbied behind Ali to reinstate him. So there was nothing to back up what Ali was saying, people were just blinding following. You should watch videos both on Liston and Frazier. Unfortunately they are usually left as a footnote on Ali's legacy, but are two of the greatest heavyweights of all time.
the foreman grill was offered to someone else first, george was second choice i belive, george, did return to boxing late on but retired, george is also, a baptised minister, excuse my spelling
Absolute nonsense about adrenaline helping him get his sight back. Adrenaline will help against pain, but it won't get rid of an irritant having been rubbed into his eyes... how could it??? The only way to get rid of a physical irritant and, in this case, clear his sight is to wash it out. Dundee washing his eyes between rounds and then, in addition, the sweat during the round would start to clear the irritant away.
His trainer Angelo Dundee said we were robbed of Ali's best years due to the 3/4 years he was stripped of his title and wasn't allowed to box when he refused to go to Vietnam "no Vietcong ever called me Ni**er " he said .He really was the greatest in and out of the ring.

@@yassandfatsThere is no need to google conventional use of the English language. If you need to use Google to understand the meanings of basic words such as revert and convert, then it is laughable. Who is "we"? Revert - means returning to a previous state. Factually, since he was not born a Muslim, he cannot "revert" to it. There is no need to impose your political and religious views on your audience by propagating the ridiculous idea that we must use "revert" for a convert to Islam because that is how they were born. Use the English language in the sense words were meant to be used without imposing your views on a diverse audience that may come from various faiths, or be actually atheist. You may have chosen this ridiculous idea because you want to pander to the woke audience or to please people of a particular disposition, but I have no desire to agree with you on this position. Also, speak for yourself and use "I" when you want to say something stupid instead of saying "We".
In boxing maybe there is pacman or Mayweather are the greatest, in mma maybe GSP or anderson silva are the greatest, in football maybe messi or C.ronaldo are the greatest... but muhammad ali is my GREATEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME ! ... Being greatest athlete is not always about how best u are, how best ur record but *what've you done to people's*
This is horrible.... the commentator is doing all of the talking... you're going past his highlight boxing moments ... can't Ali do the boxing and the speaking for himself
Joe Frazier was not an uncle Tom! It was Ali pissed off because Joe didn't take ali's side during the war in Vietnam. I watched that fight. Joe was devastated over alias insults for decades after that. You two laughed about it. Imagine being called racial slurs by your own people. Figures, British people 😂
Uncle Tom is a very harsh insult, but not a racial slur. A racial slur hurts the people, a harsh insult hurts you there's a difference. We don't call our people racial slurs, an no the N-word when used by us is not a racial slur because it means something different coming from us. Lastly for supposedly not finding them laughing funny you sure laughed yourself, making you calling them out for it pointless.
@@ShadowMan23914 laughing at your stupidity! And save the we didn't or the uncle Tom isn't bs! Your just as racist as the next idiot! Seem to be a lot in Britain these days
Joe Louis is the GOAT, Louis fought more racism and pave the way and Louis was a world class person, Ali was a shet with the person who helped him, Joe frazier, so stop the BS that Ali made so much for humanity, youre crazy.

❤absolutely CORRECT well said and well OBSERVED
he had no power

Made me proud to be a Kentuckian
He was 210lbs by the time he was 22 years old in that Sonny Liston fight.. he was a full heavyweight by then
The ''Lets go Champ' guy you talking about was former Heavyweight boxer Shannon Briggs
there isnt a fighter who ever lived who could beat 64-67 ali!
Ali's quick foot movement techniques were so good and impressive that it inspired Bruce Lee to incorporate it into his fighting style
He's the greatest heavyweight for sure, I think Sugar Ray Robinson is GOAT boxer.
The "Rope a dope" was a strategic move because George was younger and stronger...mind games was used to frustrate him in order to put himself out while Ali kept his reserves

Because of his boxing prowess, his infectious personality, and his preparedness at an early stage in his career (aged 23) to risk his career and even his life (they were assassinating outspoken leaders, especially black leaders in 1960s), and because it was taken for granted that he was bound to receive a long-term prison sentence for daring to refuse to go and fight in the Vietnam war, there was not a part of the world that you could travel to, where they had not heard of this unusually brave outspoken "Boxer." A boxer that dare to do, and say, and take a stand against things you just did not dare to do and say and take a stand against, in the 1960s. Certainly not if you were black (the Civil Rights movement had just won black people the right to vote the previous year). And because of this he was not only celebrated but loved and appreciated even in the most remote far-reaching corners of the globe.
I don't know that anybody will attain that level of fame ever again. It was extraordinary.
Liston had something on his gloves to temporarily blind Muhammad Ali
Rocky Marciano real life Italian Stallion
I recommend you to watch Joseph Vincent's bored film documentaries they are the best ones
Unfortunately with Joe Frazier, he was not an uncle tom or any of the horrible things Ali called him.
Ali was just hurling insults for no reason.
Joe actually financially supported Ali when Ali away from boxing, refused to call himself the true champion until Ali got his license back. In fact, Frazier is probably one of the the reasons Ali got his license back, because he lobbied behind Ali to reinstate him.
So there was nothing to back up what Ali was saying, people were just blinding following.
You should watch videos both on Liston and Frazier. Unfortunately they are usually left as a footnote on Ali's legacy, but are two of the greatest heavyweights of all time.
The insults was to sell the fight. He loved Joe but Joe wasn't used to all that show selling shit he just fought.
@@KelzKelz The things Ali said were not things you can just say lightly
the foreman grill was offered to someone else first, george was second choice i belive, george, did return to boxing late on but retired, george is also, a baptised minister, excuse my spelling
It was offered to hulk hogan I think
You think 105 amateur fights is a lot? Search up Vasyl Lomachenko's amateur record 👌
What would the world have missed if he had refused to go to Rome? Not just in boxing but in general
Absolute nonsense about adrenaline helping him get his sight back. Adrenaline will help against pain, but it won't get rid of an irritant having been rubbed into his eyes... how could it??? The only way to get rid of a physical irritant and, in this case, clear his sight is to wash it out. Dundee washing his eyes between rounds and then, in addition, the sweat during the round would start to clear the irritant away.
His trainer Angelo Dundee said we were robbed of Ali's best years due to the 3/4 years he was stripped of his title and wasn't allowed to box when he refused to go to Vietnam "no Vietcong ever called me Ni**er " he said .He really was the greatest in and out of the ring.
it was 15 rounds, its only 12 now
Legend? Nah….more like the GOAT!
Muhamad Ali
they used vinegar on the gloves in them days
I started watching then quickly gave up on this reaction video because this is not the right Greatest video to react to because you never get to hear from Ali himself. There's a much better video called MUHAMMAD ALI'S GREATEST FIGHTS WERE OUTSIDE OF THE RING. This version, is just the commentator constantly speaking on Muhammad Ali's behalf. Ali is so good in front of the camera, substituting his voice with that of a commentator is criminal, to say the least.
In this video, they actually show the footage where Ali (sitting wearing a blue suit on a TV talk show) actually tells the story himself of how he was refused service in a whites-only restaurant downtown. It's a famous story and when Ali tells it, it is both tragic and funny as hell. This video doesn't come close to portraying what was most fascinating and beguiling about the man many say was the most famous person that ever lived. To mean that no person in all of human history has experienced his level of fame in their lifetime.

Sonny Liston was known as a dirty fighter, Liston put something on his gloves to blind clay.
U should check out his trash talking skills!!!
The sky must’ve fallen….. I actually agree with Vlad Tepes
Love the grill add on hahaha
can u do a reaction video of Sonny Liston plz
Also if you wanna know Ali, maybe do a video where you actually hear Ali's voice instead of a narrator narrating
Joe was not an uncle tom. Ali just ised this as mind games. If you want to see Ali believing his uncle tom attack then watch Ali vs Ernie Terrel.
Rope a dope is legendary
Ali would have whipped joshua and klitcko in the same night, then go out to pizza hut
2:56 he didn’t “revert” to islam. He converted.
When someone adopts the Islamic faith we say revert. Google it :) x
@@yassandfatsThere is no need to google conventional use of the English language. If you need to use Google to understand the meanings of basic words such as revert and convert, then it is laughable. Who is "we"? Revert - means returning to a previous state. Factually, since he was not born a Muslim, he cannot "revert" to it. There is no need to impose your political and religious views on your audience by propagating the ridiculous idea that we must use "revert" for a convert to Islam because that is how they were born. Use the English language in the sense words were meant to be used without imposing your views on a diverse audience that may come from various faiths, or be actually atheist. You may have chosen this ridiculous idea because you want to pander to the woke audience or to please people of a particular disposition, but I have no desire to agree with you on this position. Also, speak for yourself and use "I" when you want to say something stupid instead of saying "We".
Bro you literally pause 20 times in 1 video lol...
In boxing maybe there is pacman or Mayweather are the greatest, in mma maybe GSP or anderson silva are the greatest, in football maybe messi or C.ronaldo are the greatest... but muhammad ali is my GREATEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME ! ...
Being greatest athlete is not always about how best u are, how best ur record but *what've you done to people's*
He slow down because of the jail
Muhammed ali trash talk, have you done it ?
What makes him the greatest? Is it because he was a Muslim? He was good, but the greatest. That’s not true
This is horrible.... the commentator is doing all of the talking... you're going past his highlight boxing moments ... can't Ali do the boxing and the speaking for himself
Draft dodger. My dad got drafted. He didnt coward out of it. Champions dont dodge a draft
Blah blah blah shut up telling her the story. It would have been a good idea to tell her prior! We boxing fans know 😴
RJJ!
The Clay family was never oppressed. Ali grew up in the middle class family. He never suffered.
Were you there? 😂
@@C45-w4o It's been said by Ali himself.🤡
@@msw8966 Did he tell you? 😂
@@C45-w4o It was in his book you moron
@@msw8966 but muhammad Ali say am fighting for my little brother that got nothing and poor and he always say he fighting for his people not for him
Ok I'm out. Way too many pauses
Would u rather then talk over the video 😂😂😂 y’all complain over dumb stuff u can easily skip them pausing
Joe Frazier was not an uncle Tom! It was Ali pissed off because Joe didn't take ali's side during the war in Vietnam. I watched that fight. Joe was devastated over alias insults for decades after that. You two laughed about it. Imagine being called racial slurs by your own people. Figures, British people 😂
Uncle Tom is a very harsh insult, but not a racial slur. A racial slur hurts the people, a harsh insult hurts you there's a difference. We don't call our people racial slurs, an no the N-word when used by us is not a racial slur because it means something different coming from us. Lastly for supposedly not finding them laughing funny you sure laughed yourself, making you calling them out for it pointless.
@@ShadowMan23914 laughing at your stupidity! And save the we didn't or the uncle Tom isn't bs! Your just as racist as the next idiot! Seem to be a lot in Britain these days
Joe Louis is the GOAT, Louis fought more racism and pave the way and Louis was a world class person, Ali was a shet with the person who helped him, Joe frazier, so stop the BS that Ali made so much for humanity, youre crazy.
