The greatest of all time.

[–]CherrySlurpee 3 points4 points ago

Joe Louis would like to have a word with you.

[–]enjoytheshow 3 points4 points ago

GOAT debates are always my favorite to watch.

[–]greenroom628 3 points4 points ago

Rocky Marciano, the only undefeated heavy weight champ, would like a word with both of you.

Ali is the man, though.

[–]mitchij2004 13 points14 points ago

Oh there they go. There they go, every time I start talkin 'bout boxing, a white man got to pull Rocky Marciano out their ass. That's their one, that's their one. Rocky Marciano. Rocky Marciano. Let me tell you something once and for all. Rocky Marciano was good, but compared to Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano ain't shit.

[–]mousewilliams99 1 point2 points ago

What is that from?

[–]SpacedApe 3 points4 points ago

Coming to America

[–]ky321 15 points16 points ago

Sting like a bee.

[–]BasilStagHare 1 point2 points ago

Right in the ol' grill, wot wot?

[–]radiosnatch 27 points28 points ago

This is truly what it means to "know your enemy". Not many people give him enough credit for the work he put into studying and planning his strategy for EACH fight.

[–]AnViLLiaN- 6 points7 points ago

The best generally put in the most time.

[–]baltakatei 13 points14 points ago

Now try it without being able to see your opponent's face.

[–]iseetrolledpeople 7 points8 points ago

First I thought you were joking but that thing was amazing. He had like 0,5cm. of life left...

edit: I played that game 2 times in my life but that video is bananas. the top comment from youtube makes it even more awesome.

The left player (male char) has very few hit points left and is about to lose. The right player pops an "super combo finish", which the left player blocks PERFECTLY. The thing with normal blocking is that a small amount of damage "bleeds" through the block, so EACH hit would have killed the left player - unless you do "tech blocking" which means hitting the block in the right direction at the specific moment the blow lands. Left player does this 17 times in a row with frame precision. Jaws drop.

[–]SubtlePineapple 5 points6 points ago

The craziest thing is that if he didn't block those perfectly, he'd still have taken a little bit of damage and died.

[–]iseetrolledpeople 2 points3 points ago

Truly amazing.

[–]tumes 5 points6 points ago

This is one of those thing where no matter how little you might care about fighting games, or even video games in general, you still feel an infectious excitement about watching a master of something perform.

[–]Noobtits 21 points22 points ago

Be the leaf.

[–]lediablerouge 6 points7 points ago

Ugh, that kid. Sometimes I liked him, but there was way, way too much fartbending. Honestly.

[–]Teslanaut 3 points4 points ago

Man I wish they did something with "Be like water".

[–]StopReadingMyUser 25 points26 points ago

...and sting like when I pee

[–]Joseph1na 1 point2 points ago

Your pee can't hit what the head can't see

[–]xvitax 5 points6 points ago

Is this sped up?

[–]raginBacon 17 points18 points ago

Nope, that's Ali.

[–]xvitax 3 points4 points ago

Thought so.

[–]koopa77 2 points3 points ago

That's it? I feel like I've seen this so many more times on here.

[–]slackeyed 2 points3 points ago

That's just that particular version of the .gif, and it only goes back one year.

[–]mcparker73 3 points4 points ago

It's the first time I've seen it. I've been a member of the reddit clan for over a year.

[–]KlaatuBaradaNikto -1 points0 points ago

Every time I see it it has the exact same title. Float like a butterfly.

[–]old_chap 6 points7 points ago

Every once in awhile I would look this up on youtube. 5 Jabs and untouched.

[–]slipperyfist 24 points25 points ago

4 jabs and a cross.

[–]iGotChubs4You 1 point2 points ago

Hook?

[–]phliuy -3 points-2 points ago

4 jabs and an overhand

[–]EKEEFE41 -5 points-4 points ago

Beat me

[–]Captainx11 1 point2 points ago

Kinky.

[–]uk2knerf[S] 12 points13 points ago

Seriously, as the opponent how do you not become completely demoralized?

[–]StopReadingMyUser 4 points5 points ago

That's why he hides his face in shame at the end.

[–]dakoellis 0 points1 point ago

well it is quite embarassing

[–]GrowdonTreeman 6 points7 points ago

This was Mike Tyson in every fight for his first five years.

[–]EHoffman922 7 points8 points ago

Not really. Sure Tyson was quick defensively, but his bread and butter was his ridiculously fast combos, hence why he would earn knockouts in the first round in most of his early fights.

[–]7841378741 9 points10 points ago

He still had great head movement though.

[–]Tarcos 3 points4 points ago

That was fucking amazing.

[–]xchrisxsays 4 points5 points ago

Ridiculously fast AND ridiculously powerful. Sometimes you see a punch that knocks his opponent on his ass and at full speed it looks like nothing. Then you watch a slow mo replay and you realize the power he could produce in a short punch.

[–]moneymizzlle 1 point2 points ago

Ali was just quick, Tyson had defense and quickness.

[–]cheechw 2 points3 points ago

Not sure why you got downvoted, Tyson was a fast motherfucker too.

[–]cambiro 0 points1 point ago

Ok, did it for 103 comments. Got bored, maybe later I'll do more.

Oh, and also 7 of your postings, the other ones can't be voted anymore.

[–]GrowdonTreeman 0 points1 point ago

I love you <3

[–]deja-vu-comment 7 points8 points ago

Ali is so freaking casual about it too. I can imagine the other dude's thoughts..."I am so fucked."

.

[–]Skreeno 1 point2 points ago

Interesting novelty account

[–]slackeyed 2 points3 points ago

Last time I saw him live on tv, he was still doing it.

[–]CanIGetaHellYeah 1 point2 points ago

Still not as hard as Mike Tyson in Mike Tyson's Punchout!! on NES

[–]brewerbeast105 1 point2 points ago

sting like a bee mother fucker

[–]dakineman 0 points1 point ago

I hope he ended up winning that fight

[–]strills 2 points3 points ago

Its Mohammed Ali.

[–]z0mbiefetish 0 points1 point ago

so is that a yes?

[–]koshercowboy 0 points1 point ago

[–]The_Starchivist 0 points1 point ago

Zero fucks given

[–]BRiNGTHERiCEOUT -1 points0 points ago

more like bee-stinging

[–]slackeyed 1 point2 points ago

Love him or hate him, you got to admit he was the best for a long long time.

[–]RBubbaMagillicutty 8 points9 points ago

Who's the guy who hates Ali?

[–]tits-mchenry 1 point2 points ago

Probably people that have looked into all the black muslim stuff he was so heavily in support of.

[–]remembername -2 points-1 points ago

Anderson Silva.

[–]Deeger 9 points10 points ago

http://thewellversed.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/silvagriffin3.gif

I think I'm going to go with Ali on the dodging comparison though.

[–]Typhoios 2 points3 points ago

I like this one of Silva better.

[–]fistfullaberries 0 points1 point ago

He deliberately didn't post that one.

[–]remembername 0 points1 point ago

Ya. Ali was the shit.

[–]Rheaonon -2 points-1 points ago

Hipster Ali did it before Silva.

[–]remembername -1 points0 points ago

Hahahaha. Was waiting for that one.

[–]kharmakazy 0 points1 point ago

Clearly he was an airbender.

[–]5PEE 0 points1 point ago

FOUL! WAIT NO, TWO FOULS!

[–]Dancing_monkey 1 point2 points ago
