[@frankburmaster6689]

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!

[@juliancobain9970]

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?

[@laurencelevene4333]

Earnie shavers was one of the hardest punchers of all time. I think he did a lot of damage to Ali in this fight

[@paulneville8172]

He did your right ali shud av retired 2 yrs before after manilla ali slowed down in 1977 so took puishment which did ali no good think ali was forced too carry on meal ticket watched is wife saying ali wanted to retire in 1976

[@laurencelevene4333]

@@paulneville8172 that's right. He was not the same after manilla and took too many fights that weren't necessary. But he had a huge amount of people around him, he had to pay, so he kept going. Once he retired all those people were nowhere to be seen

It's overlooked that Ali had one of the best "beards" in Boxing history. NEVER floored by a right hand and only down twice by left hooks (Cooper and Frazier--who both had hellish hooks). Took every right hand from Liston/Foreman/Shavers/Norton etc--even took brutal shots from Holmes when he had no business being in a ring. TRUE warrior legend

[@paulneville8172]

Ali boxed everyone even when past it late in is career look at norton frazier never fought frazier never boxed shavers or lyle norton never boxed lyle ali fought everyone

[@rdavideagan2311]

Henry Cooper knocked Ali into the middle of next week with a left hook. Only the luck of the clock and Ali's corner's subterfuge saved him from a loss.

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”. Meanwhile Ali is thinking “Good, he’s hanging back a bit because I’m actually needing to recover here. That 💩 HURT”.
