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!
  • Getting the shit beat out of you for seven rounds by George Foreman and asking “is that all you got?” Is the most gangster shit I’ve ever heard in my life. No wonder Tyson idolizes Ali.

    I know Ali wasn't the hardest puncher in heavy weight, but I personally think Ali's right hand hit way harder than people expected it to!

    I feel fortunate to have lived through the Muhammed Ali era.

    When you think of all the greats that Ali defeated, you have to give it to him.
  • Ali wasn't only a tremendous boxer but a entertainer as well. He's called the greatest for a reason
  • Lyle saying the fight shouldn't have been stopped 🤣... Ali had him flopping around the ring like a drunk wet sock on a rainy monday 🌧🧦

    It was great growing up in the 60s and 70s watching Ali fights.

    Good stuff. Couple of fun facts: 1. I got to hang out in the Ali camp at the Rumble in the Jungle in 1974 (we were living in Kinshasa for a couple of years), and my dad tells me I got to hang out with and box with Archie Moore a little bit. I was 4 years old. 2. I got to see George Foreman give a talk at the Rotary Club in Carson City Nevada, where my dad was a member, in the late 1980's, when Foreman was making his comeback and had a fight in Reno. I also got to shake his hand. I was a little taller than he was :)
  • Ali beat Liston, Foreman and Lyle. That’s good enough for me to call him the greatest. But he also beat Frazier, Norton and Shavers, so that’s the icing on the cake.

    I dont like boxing, but watching Muhammad Ali and his adversaries fight is something special
  • I was young, but I remember my father watching Ali fights in the 70's. I feel blessed to have watched the phenomenon that was Muhammad Ali. RIP champ.
