Shavers. Very dangerous. I think he had more knockouts by the second round than the mighty Tyson had overall.

[@jonathanwilliams8309]

The last 30 seconds of this fight epitomises what Ali was all about, he knew he just had to finish to win. Yet after absorbing all Shavers bombs, being way past his best and not in the best of shape he still went for the KO when the opportunity arose. He is the Greatest of all times!

Correct, I think Tyson also the real puncher

[@SzebasztianAdrianSarközi]

Bullshit Alis Bad Day

[@henry-bo3np]

That's because Liston and Foreman couldn't hit the younger, faster, quicker Ali. If Shavers fought Ali in 1964-1967 or even 1974 Shavers wouldn't have been able to hit Ali either.

[@HerrinSchadenfreude]

​@@SzebasztianAdrianSarköziSo now You're gonna tell us what Ali meant when he said that? You sound ignorant. Ali wasn't the only one that said that about Shavers. In fact everybody who fought him said that about Shavers and so did a lot of the pundits and trainers from back then. He's the hardest hitter any of them ever faced. Period.

[@HerrinSchadenfreude]

​@@henry-bo3npAli saying he's never been hit harder than Shaves hit him has nothing to do with him having been too hard to hit earlier. Norton, Liston, Frasier, Foreman all hit him. Solidly. And all of those fighters said the exact same thing about Shavers, so how did Ali's speed cause that?

[@Yaya_est91]

Ali had control, pretty much the whole fight, even when stunned. That man was amazing. Not only did he survive Ernie’s shots, he gave it to him right back and stunned him too. I love rewatching these classics man, gets the blood boiling 😂😂😂

2:32 - 3:05 Play acting aside Ali is getting thumped here. Ali added a whole new level to the psychological tactic of “When you’re strong act weak and when you’re weak act strong”. Ali added “When you’re weak act even more weak so they’ll think that you’re baiting them” 😂🤣 They think he’s baiting them so they’ll say to themselves “I’m not falling for that old trick, I’m gonna hang back a bit”.

The Prime 1960s Fastest Moving Ali would have destroyed the 1977 Young and Shavers much quicker and much more swifter.
