How many boxers joined the Muhammad Ali Amateur Club and used his style successfully?

. Like he didn't knew how to throw a body punch.

 

To be fair if I was fighting Frazier, Norton, Foreman etc I'd be too scared to lower my guard and go near their bodies.

 

If you think about Ali from 60 ies, this Ali was approx 215 lbs more fast and agile version than Usyk was in his prime.
There should be had used different attitude for Ali from 60 ies vs Ali from 70 ies.

Ali from 60 ies was .......GOD.

 

to be fair you never ever had sparred in the ring even in rural gym.

 

wtf is a rural gym

 

Gym where you might get hit in your face without video recording with intent to post **** in YT/IG from " modern internet posters criteria ".
Now today looks like this point about this here.

 

OOF, Muhammad Ali actually did go to the body against some Poland guy in the Rome Olympics. There were many moments when Muhammad Ali was in his prime, he did go to the body but that was every blue moon XD. Lennox Lewis and Ray Mercer when both were amateurs used to use the lean back style.

 

This new world we live in where people record you in the gym is absolutely annoying that I can imagine. People are firing their brains and thinking it's cute to record someone getting beat up in a sparring ring. The Mayweather Gym is a HUGE example of it, at that point it's not even boxing when you join the Gayweather gym, it's more like being a douche bag and being a wanna-be "The Next Floyd" boxer.

 

Muhammad Ali in the 60's could never be compared to at all. Usyk isn't even close to the agility Ali had IN HIS PRIME.

 

Anybody else want to list boxers who used the Ali style or fought under the club of Ali.

 

Surprisingly enough, Mark Breland (Deontay Wilder's Former Trainer) was part of the Muhammad Ali Amateur Club back then, the video of his fight still stands.

 

Larry Donald must always be mentioned if you want Ali imitators.

 

Ali was stupid for hating that name. He thought it was a slavers name and didn't know the history of it. It was the name of a famous Kentucky emancipation activist, literally about as anti-slavery as they came for his time. Muhammad on the other hand, and his nephew Ali, both owned multiple black slaves. Muhammad is quoted as calling a pair of Ethiopian slaves he saw as "raisinheads" and he thought that they were worth half of what an Arab slave was worth simply because he deemed them inferior, not to mention that all physical descriptions of Muhammad were that he was an abnormally white man for a Saudi Arabian. So both Muhammad and Ali were quite literally slave owners of black people and yet Muhammad Ali thought that the name of his state's greatest emancipator was a "slave name". Ali was not as clever as he's been made out to be, had one hell of a mouth, but not a lot of historical knowledge to back his beliefs.

 

Well, I never all this. ShovelHook, you spitting some facts right now. I only looked at Muhammad Ali from a boxing prospective. Let me add onto that as well. Muhammad Ali was also called Cassius Clay by Emanuel Steward during an interview by Rummy's Corner and during 'My Life' documentary about Ali. It is like the moment when someone says CASSIUS CLAY, boxing fans tend to get offended for no reason unless you say it more in a disrespectful manner. Other than that, it is just emotional nonsense once someone says the forbidden name CASSIUS.

 

It's an interesting tidbit yes, I find it quite amusing how awfully duped he was by the Nation of Islam. If he knew anything about the Ottoman Empire he should know Islam is no friend of Africans and never has been.
