[@justindantonio257]

Ali was better before the government took away his title, but it did not matter because he was still prone to the dangerous left hook and he had a hard time fighting counter punchers like Doug Jones, Ali was not unbeatable. Ps, if Cleveland Williams had not been recovering from being fatally shot by a police officer he would have beaten Muhammad Ali.

The straight right that got Lyle was so fast you can’t actually see it. I’ve slowed it down frame by frame and it’s like lightning. Like the phantom punch that got Liston. Ali may have been able get Foreman even if wasn’t in the Congo and with the rope a dope because Lyle gave Foreman a hell of a fight and both went down, Ali had no trouble here with Lyle and Ali was all over Foreman even before he lay on the ropes. Greatest ever.

[@carlmurray1781]

You should get your eyes tested, everyone can see the right hand that hurt Lyle but Ali couldn't even put him down, it was a premature stoppage with Lyle complaining and ahead on all score cards. In 2015 the FBI released 50 year old sealed wire taps on a Nevada mafia boss who was telling a friend to bet your house on Ali to beat Liston because he was going to take a dive, this only confirmed what everybody already knew, that right hand that hit Liston had nothing on it, even Ali was shouting at Liston to "get up nobody is going to believe this". The Ali vs Foreman fight was fixed, Foreman was exhausted and stumbling around the ring after just 3 rounds, the ropes were loosened so Ali could lean back and avoid Foreman's uppercut, he also received a fast count and when Foreman got up and walked to his corner Ali collapsed to the floor and had to be helped up and don't forget Ali wouldn't give him a rematch despite being the No 1 contender for the next 3 years. Ali is one of the greatest fighters but there are many others.

That did not change the fact that Ali whooped Liston in their first fight. 3. Where did you get this information lmao, if Ali was that tired then how was he able to knock Geogre out lol. Most people think Ali only rely on rope a dope to beat Foreman by letting himself getting beaten up 8 rounds straight. However in reality, Ali was out boxing Geogre the whole fight, landing lead right hand and combinations all night. Ali also agreed to give Geogre a rematch btw, but then Geogre lose to Jimmy Young and retired, that's why the rematch never happened.

Wow, watching this, it's just a straight-up display of athleticism from Ali, plus on-the-fly adjustments to optimize style. You can see how he was able whip-out those left+right combos, and then when Lyle was hurt, was able to rapid fire some flurries to finish the job. Simply an altogether phenomenal, master class performance of offense, defense, skill, and technique against a truly dangerous opponent. ...I've seen a couple of these old school, classic era replays now, and each one has pretty much confirmed what many have said. Some called it the "Golden Era". Whatever you call it though, some of these guys were real champs, and it's only made more sense why Ali really was The Greatest after having out-classed all of them. ...Just amazing.

Single mom. Too many siblings to feed. He became a street thug as a teenager. When I knew Ron, he was always a gentleman.

[@jackprecip5389]

Lyle survived prison and was able to cash some very large checks fighting the likes of Ali and Foreman who had drawing power, I don't think he was "unfortunate" at all. Besides, there's more value to being a contender fighting big names, then being a "champion" in fights nobody cares about. Ask the likes of Mike Weaver, Michael Dokes, Greg Page, Tony Tubbs, Gerrie Coetzee, and all the others that held a version of the belt (albeit a little regarded one with Larry Holmes owning the WBC version) in the 80's how much money they made as "champ" and they'll be the first to tell you that a fight against Ali or Foreman as a contender would have been worth almost as much, maybe even more. Never forget it's the quality and personality of the fighter that enhances the title, not the other way around. By the time Ali came onto the professional scene, boxing was reaching new lows in viewership, interest, and ticket sales. Outside of boxing enthusiasts, most of the public could have cared less that Sonny Liston was heavyweight champion. Ali recognized that and that's when he came up the pro wrestling style gimmicks to increase the draw. He knew just as many people would pay to see him lose as they would to see him win. People today find it hard to comprehend but having been a young man during Ali's fighting career who watched his fights, he would often get booed and a LOT of people did not like him, which would have pleased Ali because that meant his schtick was working.
