Muhammad Ali's best ko.......

I would agree that Foreman was his best KO...

 

Bonavena is a good TKO, but I agree that Ali KO8 Foreman is just amazing when you consider Foreman's later career durability.

 

That was a KO from exhaustion really. Bonavena was a cooler finish of the same kind.

The Brian London KO was exciting, Claslappy-esque, though London seemed to be looking for an excuse.

 

I agree with everything:good

 

Bonavena was a great tko....brian london too....

 

London or Foreman but Archie Moore KD is an eclectic one i like.

 

Against Ringo,,but I also liked his ko of Richard Dunn. Ali took Karate instuction for this bout to help deliver his right hand straight from the shoulder,,and he did perfectly.

 

his left hook knockdown of bonavena gets better with each viewing. The williams fight and finish was quite simply breathtaking and IMO nobody would have lived with him that night.

 

"Williams, Folley & Foreman" are up at the top of the charts.... Them were park jobs.........

HOWEVER! All **** aside, the KO over Foreman is still the best of all in terms of history and righteousness.....

Are people scared of mentioning the Liston rematch because of the needless controversy it invites?

There was a legitimate counter right hand that completely took Sonny's equilibrium away - the third really nice one Clay had landed in the round. He took far longer than ten seconds to get up, and it was rendered academic when he curled up into a ball as Clay flurried at him a moment later and got saved from himself by the same incompetent referee who'd failed to count him out.

It was effectively a one-punch knockout of the champion he'd just taken the title from, and a loss the once-feared HW would never rebound from.

How is that not an excellent knockout win?

The RITJ is impressive more from a strategic standpoint, for having endured George's attacks and exhausted him to the point where he was ripe for the picking. As a knockout, give me the single so-called phantom right hand that ruined Liston's life.

 

"Ali-Liston" of '65 stinks like a gutted fish in the sun...... Liston tanked in Maine....

Bill, when's the last time you watched the video? That myth is just a big case of snowballing, if you ask me. It's been growing and growing over the years and now people just believe it because it's so ubiquitous.

A right hand clearly lands on Liston's chin and shakes him up.

 

The beauty of it is admirable but theres no substance if Sonny took a dive.

No HW at the time believes Ali knocked out Liston, it didn't happen. I respect Chuvalos opinion most on the event.

 

I gander at that piece of **** fiasco all the time. Yes, a right from Ali does land, but not hard enough to drop Liston as if he were shot by a .44 magnum in which Liston was rolling about the floor like he was utterly discombobulated........ That "Anchor" punch of Ali's in '65 was not thrown with deadly intentions..... Again, Liston tanked........
