When you think about how hard it is to trap someone anywhere in the ring, the fact that Ali's footwork was so good and so dominant that it effectively LOCKED Patterson to the center of the ring speaks volumes. Ali in this era had no equal.

In the closing interview, it's wild to hear Ali say "I don't know if I'll still be going at the age of 31." When Ali was 31, he still had yet to have his second two Frazier fights, his Foreman fight, and all three of his Norton fights. In fact, Ali would continue to box until a month shy of his 40th birthday.

I think he said that as a way to be gracious to Patterson, who was 31 at the time. Despite talking himself up, he also praised Patterson several times during the post-fight interview. Two great champions, but Patterson just didn't have the power or size to compete with Ali. He was better suited to the smaller heavyweights of the 1950s.

Ali's speed is something else, for a man above 200 lbs its scary

At 19:23 you can see Ali's mastery of distance, timing and head movement. He is calm, collected and always aware. He just slipped those power punches barely wasting any energy. Truly the greatest.

Ali wasn't an early round finisher, but he was a master at accumulating points, inflicting cuts, and wearing out big hitters. The number of his late-round knockouts and the rarity of strong shots to his head were his way of pointing out that a great true boxer can beat a hitter almost every time. He made a specialty of using the last 30 seconds of each round to win it on points, helping to dig his opponent's hole which allowed him to dictate the money rounds.

Stop making up bullshit excuses. Ali completely dominated and destroyed all the best heavyweights in the '60s, including hall-of-famers like Archie Moore, Henry Cooper (twice), Sonny Liston (twice), Floyd Patterson, Cleveland Williams and Ernie Terrell. No amount of bullshit excuses changes the facts. As for that first Cooper fight, he just got a lucky punch on a very young Ali (then Clay) who hadn't hit his prime yet (1963). Cooper didn't stand a chance for the rest of their first fight, and Ali completely destroyed him in their second fight (1966). Ali was virtually untouchable in his prime years (mid-to-late 1960s).

Ali was just a great boxer.....he proved it in this fight....

Ali was an artist. This is like getting to watch Mozart composing his clarinet quintet or his 41st symphony. Just SO impressive in there. I couldn't play-fight with a toddler without getting hit more often than Ali did against Patterson! Nothing but respect for those skills!

This was one of Ali's most controversial fights. It was obvious from the opening bell that Patterson was overmatched, and that Ali could have easily KO'ed him. But many believed that Ali purposely allowed the fight to continue to torture Patterson for Patterson deliberately calling him "Clay."

Yes possibly. Ali was also known to give Floyd a match to help him financially. Can't back that up tho. If Floyd called him clay like another challenger did on live TV, good chance he just punished him for most of fight rather than just knock him out. I mean just losing consciousness from a punch to the head ain't no big deal.

I don’t think so, my theory is that Ali knew Floyd could knock him out with a counter if he took the chance to go for a KO himself. Muhammad was just fighting smart.

@@jaydlytning You're on drugs if you seriously think that dude...Ali admitted many times that the first Patterson fight was just a torture session and if you know anything about boxing you can clearly see it here in this video. He establishes the jab easily but also clearly holds back on the follow-up right hand and subsequent left hook until much later, purposely beating this man to a pulp. Just view Ali's other IMPORTANT fights to see the difference in style man...

I see a lot of people saying he punished Patterson. Many people don't realize that Ali respected and loved Patterson. That punishment statement was to keep adding to the Ali aura. Ali told Patterson, " Floyd I gonna make you a lot of money, and asked him to refuse to call him Ali on camera. He didn't knock him out because he knew he was hurt, and above all else, Ali was a gentleman. He just didn't want that rep while fighting. If you wanna see punished , watch the Terrell fight.

Ali didn't always go with what his trainers told him to do, and its a good thing he didn't in the foreman fight or else he probably wouldn't have beat him.

Wow. It sure did sound as if he did say that. I heard that at one point of this bout, Angelo asked Ali to mercifully end it by knocking Floyd out. Maybe that's what he said to Ali here and Ali just gave his blunt response.

Patterson had no answer for the straight left hand or hook; Ali picked him apart. Floyd's gameplan was no different from Sonny Liston's. He stepped forward and pumped a jab and did not have a plan B. Muhammad Ali was able to box circles around the target from the pocket. Ali's punches were powerful and he could hardly miss and he throws with a lot of leverage, it's a beauty to watch.

Excellent commentary.

Essentially, Ali won this fight with the left jab. What an athlete. What a fighter.

What a great fight and I must mention the best version of the United States national anthem I've heard.

I think this is the closest thing we have to what an Ali-Tyson fight would have looked like. Tyson was basically a stronger, harder-hitting but slightly shorter version of Patterson. Both moved nearly the exact same way, as they were both trained by Cus D'Amato and used his peek-a-boo boxing style. Which, as we can see, didn't give Ali any special problems. Against Tyson, Ali would have to be more cautious than he is here, but stylistically it is a nightmare matchup for Tyson, and Ali would outclass him nearly as much as he did Patterson.

Ali-Tyson would've been an amazing matchup. If anyone had the skill to avoid 1980s Tyson in the early rounds, it would've been Ali. Hard to say if even Ali could have weathered that storm though.

Ali Shavers was the Tyson fight. Everyone that fought Shavers said he was the hardest hitter in boxing. Ali said it too.

I am enjoying this, this boxing exhibition that Ali is giving to us. He continues to pepper Patterson's battered, tired face and body, further weakening Patterson and making an already aging, deteriorating fighter more ineffective. Great boxing!

I recently read Patterson quoted as saying something like, "Ali didn't knock you out, he rubbed you out. He moved so fast/was so hard to get to or hit, then he hit you 14,000 time and you weren't knocked out, you were rubbed out". And Chuvalo, another who fought him twice, maybe both did vs. Clay once and Ali once, he said, "He was just so damn fast. He moved just out of range and was so hard to hit, then he'd come in throwing punches already, so if you tried to hit him when he came in range you could never beat him to the punch". How long a period of time, and in between the few times Floyd found Ali, do you think? His head, so fast--guys would throw two jabs that missed then two more with one right cross thrown in as they chased right into him across the ring to the ropes, ALL MISSES, only to watch him either slip away like a gazelle or clinch and lean on you with his size and wieght, so strong, wearing you down with purpose, to hear referee Arthur Mercante, I believe it was tell it. Saw and worked the big picture, every detail. And this--we never saw him at his greatest, those three and a half years of exile, 25-28 and a half or so range, boxer's prime. Good LORD.

Ali's left jab is a thing of beauty.

Just look at how ali toyed with patterson, he 💃 danced the entire without even throwing a punch, just to show his superior speed and foot work and that patterson could not hit him. Wonder what that did to pattersons mind, wonder what his corner told him.

Good stoppage. What a beating Floyd took. Ali showed ring intelligence as usual early on he was having so much success finding the target that he was in danger of punching himself out. He showed good patience here, took a round or two off to make sure and conserve.

Ali`s foot work..brilliant..

Remarkable, this bout, in so many ways. And the magnanimity of both fighters afterwards is moving too. I do wish that Steve Ellis hadn't made that 'race' remark at the end, though. So dopey, especially coming from an ordinarily quite smart announcer.
