Muhammad Ali V Floyd Patterson.

Ali outclasses game former champion Patterson relative ease.

Ali could probably have stopped Patterson earlier, but this fight took place during Ali's cruel phase whereby he prolonged the agony of opponents whom he felt disrespected his name and religious choice.

Holmes V Ali.

I don't know why I watched it, but decided to for some reason.

It's still no less sickening to watch despite knowing what happened.

Herbert Muhammad should have given back his cut of Ali's purse to help ease Ali's pain, but he didn't care about Ali, he just cared about cashing the cheques that Ali gave him.

Ali had less than nothing, but still did not fall.

I suppose he's fortunate that Holmes was not a concussive puncher and also the fact that Larry eased up on him.

Imagine what Mike Tyson wouldn have done to Ali that night?

The most gobsmacking thing of all is that Muhammad was allowed to fight again after this.

Yeah it’s a shame the Viloria fight isn’t there, it was by far his best career performance, he totally hammer-fvcked Segura, brutal brutal beat down, smashes the whole side of Seguras face in with the left hook, he was great at landing his left hook against southpaws

Segura Marquez is even better, one of the greatest wars I have ever seen, by the way. Insane stuff all the way through and an even more bonkers ending
