Ali always has the mental edge. It’s not the menacing quality of Tyson, it’s something deeper and more complex. He seems simultaneously delighted at the prospect of kicking your ass and pleasantly amused that you think you have a chance. As though he can’t even be bothered to mean-mug and adopt all the superficial poses of intimidation or menace. His confidence that he will win is so high he can act casual, goof around, perform silly antics to the crowd, and his trash talk during fights is more creative and funny than most. No two Ali fights look the same. He’s like a Method actor who disappears into the specific role that each “script” (match) presents. Just an incredibly creative and masterful tactical/strategic boxer.
Your observation of Ali was interesting and right on the money. The boxing world has never seen a more talented fighter than Muhammad Ali. I am still amazed, after all these years, at his finesse, superb reflexes, brilliant footwork, lightning fast hand speed, and the most accurate and deadly jab in the history of boxing. And he had the personality to match his physical attributes. He was a monster.
THIS is the Muhammad Ali Machine We All Know. I wouldve spent my entire check to see this Ali Vs 1971 Joe Frazier. This wouldve been the best match in history
Frazier was a better boxer than Chuvalo, he was relentless, always moving forward and putting pressure on Ali. Chuvalo is stationary, he’s too slow to get to Ali.
Ali's left hook is totally underrated: effective as a lead or off the jab, from mid or long range. Not the most devastating punch, but at times lands almost at will!
@@leonardcharles59 You couldn't take 5 seconds and actually validate what you say before saying it. Chuvalo is still alive, Einstein. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Chuvalo
Ali called Chuvalo " The toughest of the Tough" he absolutely meant it. The greatest Canadian Heavyweight. He gave a PRIME Ali all he could handle. HE DID! AND he took the fight at short notice and barely trained for the fight.
Many boxers beat Chuvalo on the score card but nobody could hurt him or even knock him down. He seemed indestructible and relentless and would never give up.
@@rickspearman344 Ken Norton said despite Ali acting very playful, he was super fit when young, and hitting his body was like hitting the cement bag. A few years after this fight Larry Holmes became Ali's sparring partner, and he said after tough fights Ali would urinate blood.
From 15:50 to 16:00 is just a tatooing of Chuvalo by Ali. You could hear the force of those jabs into Chuvalo's face and he was clearly rocked after that series of blows.
Chuvalo was a damn tough fighter, with some good skill. His determination gave Ali troubles, but you can just see how much talent Ali has here, his true prime. Despite all Chuvalo tried, Ali unquestionably won the fight.
I noticed after round #4 Ali lost the desire to hold George's neck in the clinches. His left kidney couldn't take it anymore. His expression and jesture, spoke volumes when the bell rang. In round 5 he changer his clinch tactics
Look at Ali in the last round with all those punches after a war. Just scary stamina by Ali esp with those power shots but Chuvalo was a tough cookie man.
I met George at my local pub many years ago. He was old then but he enjoyed the pub scene. He was kind enough to shake anyone's hand. A gentleman. His hands were huge! It was then that I realized what it must take to get into the ring with a warrior.
For those wondering why the broadcasters kept referring to Muhammad Ali as Cassius Clay, just about everybody still did then, with Howard Cosell being a rare exception. It took several years before he was generally referred to by his adopted name, and The Ring magazine continued to refer to him as Cassius Clay into the 1970s. The man calling the blow-by-blow was Canadian sportscaster Hal Kelly, brother of sportscaster Dan Kelly. Hal was the first television of voice of the Montreal Expos in 1969-1970, when Dave Van Horne was calling the games only on radio.
Everyone stopped calling him Cassius Clay including the Media,when he Beat George Foreman,he was Aknowledged by the haters as well after that feat,and he kept prooving himself for another 4 years in more than 10 fights after that.
You can really see the respect the fighters have for the ref. All he has to do is tap them on their shoulders and they break. No way you'll see that kind of respect and comradary...
What a collection of legends in the ring that night in March of '66. Such a contrast in styles. I'm disappointed in how the announcer keeps calling Ali by the name Clay a full two years after his conversion to Islam and shows you the adversity that Ali faced even as the HW Champion of the World...
Definitely one of the biggest events that happened in the building at the time besides hockey, which it was originally built for. That was probably one of the last times Toronto had a decent hockey team.
His defensive skills were underrated, but his chin was unquestionably great. Never knocked down as a pro or amateur, and he said never in sparring. Said no one ever really, really hurt him, though he gave credit to Foreman’s power, and said Mike DeJohn’s style was bad for him and DeJohn walloped him a few times.
One of two of the greatest fights in boxing history. The second being Ali/Chuvalo 2. Side note for hockey fans.... This fight took place at Maple Leaf Gardens in the last season the Leafs ever won a Stanley Cup... Lol
Ali siempre demostró la calidad de boxeador que que fu se enfreto a los mejores de su época chuvalo cooper forerman freizer un fenómeno fuera de su tiempo mis respetos 👏 que descanse en paz
@@brettbanta2100 so a fact can't be negative?, again, I suggest you do proper research on Parkinson's, it's causes and whether or not Ali's boxing is what have him the disease, if not then I guess we have nothing further to discuss, have a good one.
It's very irritating to keep hearing them call Muhammed Ali, or Cassius Clay after he keeps telling them his correct name. Even Jim Brown keeps doing it.
assassin/tank hybrid DPS build vs pure tank build. The amount of low blows that chuvalo did in this fight that went 'unnoticed' by the ref. Chuvalo's face must've been a walking advertisement for Ali for months after
Phil Frank I wouldn’t say much like the older Ali because the Older Ali didn’t jab as much as the young one. Ali here jabs and jabs, jerks his head, faints, he can dance a whole lot slicker and his punches here are so more accurate here you can just about clearly see which punches actually is hitting to the face. This was a young fresh talent right here. The older Ali was more like....just the older Ali. He’ll pull up a few flashes from these days to either show the fans or to get himself out of danger. I looove the Older Ali now❗️ But naaah this Ali fought like he was trained by Japanese fighters. Lmao 🤣
Peter G He was just flat footed for 4 rounds which I thought was extremely smart bc 15 rounds is a loooong road to travel and by him taking his time with a rock like Chuvalo helped him save stamina. But when they criticized Ali for the rope-a-Dope and standing instead of dancing, I tell people he BEEN did that. The difference is he doesn’t move the same in his 30s like here. His head movement, his legs 🦵 were smaller and his reflexes were quicker. But yes Ali is a pro pro. The only fight in my opinion close to this in the 70s was his 2nd fight with Smokin 💨 Joe Frazier in 1974. Clearly out pointed Frazier in that fight
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 Chuvalo was a better and busier fighter - somewhat like Henry Cooper in 1963 - than Williams in 1966, pressuring Ali, taking 3 or 4 punches to get in 1. Ali could not afford to clown around, lest he get knocked down, as Cooper did to him on June 18, 1963. Ali/Clay was fortunate that it happened at the end of the 5th round in that fight against Mr.Cooper.
@@jamesanthony5681 I wouldn't say Ali was clowning around but why couldnt Ali replicate the artistry he displayed against C.Williams against other fighters?
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 Artistry? The dancing and double-shuffle? Cleveland Williams was pretty much done as a top heavyweight in 1966 (33+ yrs old; shotgun wound < 2 yrs earlier), and he could neither move nor punch like he once did, and he didn't pressure Ali as did other fighters. In other words, it's easier to look real good as Ali did against a much inferior fighter (Williams) than say against a better fighter like Chuvalo. Or Frazier. Or Bonavena. Ali/(Clay) WAS clowning around against Cooper in 1963, until Henry knock him down into the ropes. Ali got serious after that knockdown. A good number of people say the Ali fight with Williams was the absolute best that Ali has ever looked in the ring. I disagree. Ali was better in the 1st Liston fight. I thought Ali displayed that artistry - minus the double-shuffle - on Feb 25, 1964, against Sonny Liston.
It,s so bad that legends like Muhammad Ali aren,t remember by young people I have 14 years old and noone of my age know who,s Muhammad Ali the only boxers that they know is Canelo :(
Oh bullshit. Everybody, including young people know exactly who Muhammad Ali was. What gets me, though, is how, despite his record stating otherwise, old timers still call him the greatest boxer that ever lived. Ali fans are stuck in the past just like Mike Tyson fans are. Get over it.
That's because Ali threw too many to keep track of. Chuvalo was as tough as they come, but this fight wasn't close, just listen to the scores at the end of the fight.
Ali always seems to use round 6 as a resting round and comes out harder in round 7. I've watched a few of his fights back to back and I'm confident that is what he did. Ali's reach seems to be 10ft long and his head always an inch out of reach
Ali didn't leave first gear till the championship rounds especially round 15Ali could've turned chuvalos face into mashed hamburger way worse than he already did if he wanted to .. chuvalo was far from a pushover 73 and 18 64 ko Ali won nearly every round and completely dominated last 2 rounds count the punches Ali landed in 15 and count chuvalos hahaha .Ali didn't even really dance this bout cuz he didn't need 2 , chuvalo was one of the toughest boxers in any era
I felt this was much closer than some of the official scores. Had this one at 73-65 in favor of Ali. They drew rounds 5, 6, and 12, while Chuvalo won rounds 2 and 4.
I have the honor of meeting George twice in highschool when he was doing his motivational talks. I recall him saying that he went dancing with his wife after the fight and Ali went to the hospital apparently urinating blood!
I can see how Tyson could have hurt Ali.. his hard fast jabs & upper cuts in the chinches. Not saying he would have won, I think Ali would have got him in the later rounds 11 to 15 when Tyson was out of gas.
boxing experts say that joe Frazier wouldn't have laid a glove on prime Ali. Not going by this fight. Chuvalo cornered Ali several times and flailed away as Ali was forced to hold him.
Nobody ever got Chuvalo off his feet. Ali took a second crack at it with no better success and neither Frazier nor Foreman in their primes could knock him down. There's the guy who should have inspired the "Rocky" movies.
@@DrLoverLover sorry but they did and do. He is apparently regarded as having the strongest jaw in boxing history having 93 fights and not hitting the floor once.
Google Chevalo today, he did an interview in 2020 that's on YT...he is as lucid and well spoken as he was in '66, but he's 82 years old now...Amazingly durable and humble man...
Ali hit Chuvalo with super combinations but Chuvalo wouldn`t go down. Ali had a super quick jab. The crowd booed at the decision . Why? Chuvalo didn`t hardly hit Ali the whole 15 rounds, only body shots. Ali scored with 75% of all his jabs. Ali just couln`t knock him out. Chuvalo Fought a great fight!
Chuvalo was a solid tank. Needed a little more finesse and speed. Few times you could see in Ali’s eyes he was scared when he felt the power of Chuvalo.
You gotta love how this announcer refused to use the name Muhammad Ali. Also, he rarely made any comments about all the punches Ali was landing, while commenting on every grazing punch that George landed.

Ali always has the mental edge. It’s not the menacing quality of Tyson, it’s something deeper and more complex. He seems simultaneously delighted at the prospect of kicking your ass and pleasantly amused that you think you have a chance. As though he can’t even be bothered to mean-mug and adopt all the superficial poses of intimidation or menace.

I can see how Tyson could have hurt Ali.. his hard fast jabs & upper cuts in the chinches. Not saying he would have won, I think Ali would have got him in the later rounds 11 to 15 when Tyson was out of gas.
boxing experts say that joe Frazier wouldn't have laid a glove on prime Ali. Not going by this fight. Chuvalo cornered Ali several times and flailed away as Ali was forced to hold him.
Boxing experts never said that about Frazier. Quit making shit up.
@@nathanbosley76 Boxing experts have repeatedly said Frazier wouldn’t lay a glove on 1960s Ali. I’m not making up anything you ignorant Bastard.
Chuvalo came in at 6' 3" for this fight, 3" over his usual height
What does that mean? Did he waer heels?
I noticed that. Ali must be 6'7"".
Nobody ever got Chuvalo off his feet. Ali took a second crack at it with no better success and neither Frazier nor Foreman in their primes could knock him down. There's the guy who should have inspired the "Rocky" movies.
Ali throws a very rare body punch at 1:00:18
I’ve often wondered how much more effective he’d have been if he threw some body shots, especially against Frazier.
@@vgr112261 mightve stopped Joe easier if he did... We'll never know
They say Chuvalo never got knocked down but he would've against Foreman and was saved by his corner and the ref by a TKO.
Nobody said that
@@DrLoverLover sorry but they did and do. He is apparently regarded as having the strongest jaw in boxing history having 93 fights and not hitting the floor once.
@@DrLoverLover Bullshit. It's very well known that George Chuvalo has the greatest chin of all time. Learn something, fool.
Chuvalo's quote from the foreman fight when the ref stopped it "are you fucking kidding me"
Chuvalo shoulda been WBA champion against Terrell but the Chicago mob fixed that fight
Wondering how many punches in total george tok on his face?...that was brutal man...
Google Chevalo today, he did an interview in 2020 that's on YT...he is as lucid and well spoken as he was in '66, but he's 82 years old now...Amazingly durable and humble man...
The Great Canadian Blockbuster!
Ali hit Chuvalo with super combinations but Chuvalo wouldn`t go down.
Ali had a super quick jab.
The crowd booed at the decision . Why? Chuvalo didn`t hardly hit Ali the whole 15 rounds, only body shots. Ali scored with 75% of all his jabs. Ali just couln`t knock him out. Chuvalo Fought a great fight!
To be fair, nobody ever was able to knock out George Chuvalo.
Back then Ali was like what Floyd Mayweather is today the public wanted to see him loose
CLASSIC FIGHT! Ali and Chuvalo did awesome against each other.
WHO WAS BETTER AND TOUGHER??
@@haroonkapoor8233 Better? Ali. Tougher? Chuvalo.
There are many pundits that consider this fight Canada's greatest sporting moment before Paul Henderson. It's hard to argue with that.
The tale of the tape shows them both at 6'3 but Ali is obviously 2-3 inches taller
Talk about tough. Cassius Clay was pretty tough.
Chuvalo was a solid tank. Needed a little more finesse and speed. Few times you could see in Ali’s eyes he was scared when he felt the power of Chuvalo.
Ali, scared of George Chuvalo....You WISH.
GEORGE CHUVALO IS A GLADIATOR HE WAS WHO NEVER KNOCKED DOWN ❤👍🏻👊 HIS PROBLEM FRONT OF SOME FIGHTERS WAS JUST SPEED . HE IS ONE GREATEST EVER ❤🦾👊
Me ciento feliz por esta oportunidad que entregan ustedes R.V alemán.
I must admit , George is quite a handsome young man too :-)
I love boxing and hate it at the same time. It is the most beautiful art and the ugliest simultaneously.
You gotta love how this announcer refused to use the name Muhammad Ali. Also, he rarely made any comments about all the punches Ali was landing, while commenting on every grazing punch that George landed.
Ye sadly hate against Ali was real 😭
Well the event happend in Ontario Canada so they were rooting for their champ Chuvalo
Good fight George
...nothing Ali did seemed to bother him
Ali just chips the paint off fighters piece by piece
Brown commenting on fighting. Ironic as Brown beat the shit out of lots of women
