Muhammad Ali, 1942-2016

Boxing legend Muhammed Ali died on Friday at the age of 74 after a battle with respiratory illness complicated by Parkinson’s disease. It is impossible for us to include all the great moments of Ali’s career, so please forgive us for any omissions as we present some moments that captured Ali’s fighting skills, sense of humor, and political beliefs:

  • Ali vs George Foreman, 1974, “Rumble in the Jungle,” Kinshasa, Zaire, fight highlights (Watch, running time: 4:50)
  • Ali dodging 21 consecutive punches, vs Michael Dokes (Watch, running time: c.10 minutes, his dance is in the first minute)
  • Ali vs Howard Cosell, one of the more combative sports journalists to cover Ali’s career, as show in this interview from 1968 (Watch, running time: 5:08)
  • Muhammad Ali on refusing to serve in the Vietnam war (Watch, running time: 1:10)
