Ali was a hero in our house. I watched this fight with my dad when I was 13 on an old black and white TV in England. Exactly the same as you , it is something that I remember from my childhood. Watching it now I have to give so much respect to Spinks who was a fair and honest fighter . He never threw any sly shots after the breaks and was just outboxed.

[@adamwatson6916]

True but deciding to keep doing this at nearly 37 had horrific consequences for Ali . He should have stopped after the 3rd fight with Frazier he was not the same man after that. At the latest he should have retired after 76. It's the fights from 77 to 80 that destroyed him . Even when he won he took tremendous punishment. By the time Ali fought shavers his foot speed was gone so he changed his style to one where he just stood and took shots repeatedly and waited for his opportunity to strike. He beat Shavers but the amount of hard shots he took was insane Boxing was just one thing that Ali could have done great. There was so much he could have accomplished post boxing.

One of my favourite Ali fights. I have watched it many times and will never get sick of it. “Shock him and Lock him.”Great strategy up against a younger opponent with hand speed . He completely dominated Spinks using his amazing corner and experience.

[@bartsiegwart2996]

Ali, superman, able to back away from a speedy punch from a 24 year old while he was at the age of 36 and it never touches him (2nd round). He was one of the greatest athletes of modern day. You had to be in better physical condition to do what he did than play profootball, or any other sport. It wasn't just about being in condition it was about being toughened up. The skills it took to not get hit were just as important and being accurate with the punches. It's amazing to see him measuring out this dodging and weaving 24 yr old and then bullseeing him in the head while still managing to not get hit too much. He was the greatest. I never get tired of watching Ali. Most modern boxers spend their whole lives studying Ali.

I remember that l almost could not believe what l just witnessed... today, we know that he should not fight at all, especially after the "Thrilla in Manilla"... he should retire.. but l also can imagine that he still felt strong enough to go back into the ring and also there was his huge Entourage. And they wanted (and needed) A "fighting" Ali because the big money was in the fights.. but it is history.. l just can't express my Sympathie's and my admiration for Muhammad Ali.. he was willing to go into jail because he refuse to go into a war. He accept the very unfair decision that he lost his title and that he was not allowed to fight in a Boxing ring.. but he accept it - and he came back.. he came back 3 times, and people did not believe in him anymore. But he always makes the impossible real...this fight was the perfect example: noone really believed that he was able to stand on his feets for 15 rounds - but he did.. and how he did it.. Ali is still the greatest and he will be that forever. He was a phenomen

Али не дерётся, а боксирует. Такого теперь нет. Классика.

Ali's style of boxing is used by slick black boxers today, but racists and haters call it running.

When I listened to the first Ali-Frazier fight on the radio I was devastated that he lost to Joe Frazier. I had to hold back tears the next day at school. I followed him all through the years and he was one of my greatest heroes, rivaled only by Mickey Mantle ( baseball was my first love). In the years since I have come to admire Joe Frazier equally with his great rival. Those three fights will never be equaled. They finally became friends later in life. As I matured I had to recall Ali's rather brutal character insults at Joe and came to have a deeper understanding of the man's undaunted determination when facing his rival. I recall them now as equals... fighters I will always regard as two of the most fiercely determined warriors of all time. May they both rest in peace.

[@Jaecht88]

Absolutely on point comment. Also I would like to mention that I felt deep respect for George Foreman over the years as one of the great three of all times.

Even though Ali was on his way out of boxing and still looked good Ali didn’t belong in the ring with these young talented fighters. The only thing these fighters got out these fights was great learning skills and boost of confidence from being in ring with arguably the best Heavyweight boxer of all time.

@@fioncalme6008 Ali was 29 when he fought Joe,was off 3 and a half years! He could not dance for 15 rds no more! He did it in spurts! Watch the Fight Of The Century again he was flat footed and fighting off the ropes! In Ali prime too quick for Joe, certainly not laying against the ropes!

[@daviddryden8088]

It was good of the Spinks camp to give Ali another shot a scant 6 or 7 months after their first fight. Muhammad did not disappoint in this fight. 15 rounds on his toes and serious. Leon was out of his league from the first bell. Not only out boxed but also out thought thru most of the fight. Spinks took some great right hands that in Ali's better years would have sent him to the canvas. This overlooked fight ranks as one of Ali's best fights, not only because of his age but this was the last real look of Ali as he was in his prime. We hadn't seen Ali this focused for many years. He was their to put on a clinic.
