I was just a little boy but those memories are still stuck in my head. Not to mention I watched it in black & White. Awesome!
It's very sad to see Ali in his current state, reduced from the king of the world to not being able to speak. What he's done to our sport can't be matched. It's a rough example that we will all deteriorate.
I agree with everything MrMagic said :good Gissaquid always makes fantastic videos, this one is amazing as well.
The embodiment of Boxing. Pride Skill Rage Flamboyant Hyperbole A divide of the people The physical vulnerability to exhaustion, to defeat being dismissed Two men, one ring. Boxing as primative saverery, refined to an art form as to be deemed socially acceptable. Boxing holds up a mirror, and the three dances these two men had, stare back at it.
I remember the Ali vs Frazier fight and I was screaming as soon as I seen Ali get buckled. He really got humbled in this fight. Joe was a beast and on a mission. One of the greatest fights of all time.
An Era the likes of we may never see again,The Greatest Heavyweights we have ever seen all fighting each other,I was privileged to have seen most of them.!!!!
True. especially when you think people think of broner as the next 'superstar' Going down the shiter.
