Man, Frazier really did shine in his first fight with Ali. Those left hooks were BRUTAL

[@giantatt25]

His signature move! & It had the power to take Foreman out, if one of those landed cleanly. "Foreman is vulnerable to the hook" quoted Cosell

[@enzothunder2996]

I've watched that fight so many times ...anyways the more I watch it the more I don't think that knockdown gave Frasier the win . He had a lot of success with the left hook the whole fight but Ali 3 to his one the whole fight ....imo either way both guys had iron chins

[@biz09ification]

​@giantatt25 frazer vs foreman is the biggest style mismatch for frazer. Foreman easily framing off of frazers shoulders and head putting him off balance at will and setting frazer up for those massive uppercuts. Frazer had the power to hurt foreman but with the style mismatch foreman would always dominate him

[@ddland45]

Yeah. That Frazier hook was destroying everyone he hit with it. But, JESUS! Look how many Ali was TAKING and was still able to fight. I mean, Frazier had to be thinking, "Goddamn! What do I have to do?" That last hook landed, and I really think it was more about Ali's legs giving out than his chin, because he got up immediately and finished the fight on his feet. Legendary...

[@patrickgilmore4006]

​@biz09ification I agree - Frasier with his coming in low and weaving back and forth ran right into foremans sledgehammer gloves. This is why foreman would beat Tyson because Tyson is the same height as Joe Frasier and Foreman would nullify his power by pushing him back with gloves and massive arms.

Id say it's bigger than that. Id say it's the single most historically significant sporting moment in the world. I don't disagree with you though; what you said is true. I just think it's bigger even

Hitler got custard pie in his face twice when Jesse Owens won 3 Olympic golds at Hitlers German Olympics, a games to promote white supremacy but history omits to mention that Owens and the rest of the successful black Olympions ironically did not get an invite to the White House as did white American athletes by President Franklin D Roosevelt.

[@mikewiz1054]

The footwork shown by Ali in knocking out Foreman is nothing short of miraculous. To land a thunderous left hook whilst backing away then center your weight and throw a lightning bolt right cross all in a fraction of a second is pure artistry. Absolutely unreal

[@aarondigby5054]

TY I don't see how everybody misses Ali's skill set. Check out the last minute and a half of the 5th round, that's when Ali turned the tide.

[@xcape4734]

Man that Joe Louis segment was inspirational. Great video again as always.

[@AS-qy1zl]

The part these documentaries always leave out is that the two men kept in contact and that Schmelling actually helped Louis out financially after his handlers used him up. The respect was there.

[@geenadasilva9287]

I've got to agree with the commentator who said that Joe's performance was as good as any fighter's ever. That and Duran's victory against Leonard are my personal favorite single performances. And kudos for giving the peerless Joe Louis the credit he deserves! What an extraordinary man he was!

[@user-zo5um2vu1z]

Roberto Duran ..oooh now your talking ... I miss those golden years. Tommy Hearns .sugar ray. Hagler. ©️ ledgends.

[@jaybreacher4430]

The fact Ali got up within 3 seconds after a hit like that in the 15th and arguably won the rest of the round is actually terrifying.

[@PhflyDan1]

I feel for Max Schmeling,he was never a nazi and he was an amazing man, honorable man,who the propaganda machines of both USA and Germany turned into a villain.aAnd in the end America turned her back on Louis, leaving him to die broke and forgotten.There was only one man who didn't forget him and it was Max.He paid for the funeral of this great man - because he was a great man himself.

[@ispartacus1337]

Spot on. Im always disappointed when this fact isnt mentioned when talking about Max because it's arguably the defining feature of his story with Louis.

That Chavez Taylor fight was unbelievable if you saw that in a movie you would say pffft yeah right,the best boxing match ever in my opinion they fought in the middle of the ring almost the entire fight

[@buttsauce123]

Why the hell did the ref stop the fight with 5 seconds left, though? Taylor was standing up straight for like 3 seconds and he calls the fight. In a real fight, chavez definitely won. But imo, he lost according to the rules of boxing. The ref fucked over taylor

[@stephenkiszenia79]

​@@buttsauce123no, because he was knocked out. Go back and watch it. He pulled himself up by the ropes. Then he didn't respond.

[@danielhenderson8316]

@@buttsauce123Steele asked Taylor if he was OK twice and got no response. By the rules of boxing, if you can't answer the referee when he asks if you can continue, the fight is stopped. You can blame Lou Duva for distracting Taylor by starting to enter the ring just before the fight ended or telling Taylor that he needed this round instead of "stay alive and you win," but it does nothing when the ref asks you multiple times if you can continue and you do not answer him.
