Welcome back to Boxing After Dark! Tonight, we take you back to 1975. Muhammad Ali is fresh off his victory against George Foreman, and every heavyweight is eager for a shot at the Greatest. But for now, Frazier, Norton, and Shavers will have to wait their turn. Tonight, it's Ron Lyle's chance. A former gang member with heavy hands and no fear, Lyle stands ready. It's up to Ali to prove the doubters wrong once again.

    Who wins out of prime Ali and prime Mike? This performance alone makes me think Ali, he was a king of IQ in the ring!

    The magic of YouTube is, at 65 years old, I finally get to look back and watch the historical fights. I was in elementary school when “Ali” was the the greatest. Then, when Tyson was the greatest, I was working 15 or so hours a day, with no time for the fight game.

    Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, his name won’t die, Muhammad Ali

    Ali was a brilliant, strong, decent Man... His career as a Boxer and Human being is unparalleled... Not to mention his sense of humor! What a great Guy!!! ❤❤❤❤

    My mother met him in Vegas. She said his hand was like a gentle baseball mitt when she shook it, and said he seemed like one of the kindest, gentlest people she ever met. Mom didn't watch his fights.

    There were fighters. Then there was Ali. When you watched him in the ring, you didn't just want him to win. You wanted to be him. An absolute hero.

    Rest in peace, Ronald Lyle. Rest in peace, Muhammad Ali. All of the great boxers are retired or gone.

    The greatest quote Ali made before his death. When how do you want people to remember him for and he said. Love each other like you loved me.
  • @TR-lf3wy
    He was poetry in motion and a kind gentleman. I love when he gestured to the referee to stop a fight because he didn’t want to hurt his opponent. It left me gaping and teary eyed. I remember that I had posters of him in my room when I was 10. Now I truly know how great he was inside too!
  • @apeshitcrazyman
    Lyle gave him pretty solid competition and challenge there! Played to a gameplan and didn't gas out, as he was expected too, and matched a more pugilist approach that Ali was known for! Pretty impressive! And ran it to the 11th with a lead in the scorecards! Great fight.

    Muhammed Ali might have said "I am the greatest" but it was with good reason, he was the greatest. Definitely one of my childhood heroes.
  • @briansmith2207
    Ali wasn't only a tremendous boxer but a entertainer as well. He's called the greatest for a reason
  • @andrewibeh4138
    No one comes close to the GREATEST! Thanks for the beautiful memories Muhammad Ali 🙏

  • @Kristian-jk3sf
    Muhammed Ali is the greatest ever, i am born 1963 in Germany and i never saw a sportsman like him. Thank you for all sleepless nights in my childhood. I will never forget you. Your life was an inspiration for me.

    No one will ever replace this showman. It is a very different world now.
