Nov 7, 2008 - Cleveland Williams Big Cat was one of the best boxers of his era. Unfortunatly lets look at what Ali defeated. Cleveland shot by State Trooper to the stomach in 1964. He was hospitalised for two years nearly died numerous times. He lost kidney, half intestines, and as a result 2cm shorter in one of his legs due to the bullet causing nerve damage, so he was not as fast with his feet. So lets remember he was very tough customer any one who goes through all this deserves respect.

Nov 8, 2008 - Im with you on that. Any man who steps into a ring deserves respect but Cleveland wasnt exactly on top form so big big respect to him for getting in the ring with Ali.

Nov 8, 2008 - Tyson wouldnt have been able to catch Ali to munch on ears. I tell ya what though that goon would've ended up munching Ali's fist.

Nov 9, 2008 - My grandfolks say cleveland williams use to walk downtown in fur coats thinkin he was the shit in houston, but ali came to town and owned his fly ass

Nov 12, 2008 - Sadly for Cleveland Williams he died after being struck by a car in 1989 I believe. After all of what he survived he had to die tragically regardless. The BEST knockdown I've ever seen WAS this clip though right at 1:10. That's probably the PRETTIEST combination from Ali EVER!

Nov 12, 2008 - are you joking? you think its POSSIBLE that foreman, frazier and ali would beat marciano? lol get out of it mate, marciano was hurt by an old jersey joe, foreman would of killed the man. ali whom was never knocked out (stopped against holmes for obvious reasons) would just be knocked out by marciano? where liston, frazier, foreman, shavers and lyle failed? yeah, of course. points or stopped via cuts for ali, knockout by foreman and could go either way with frazier, but id pick him for the ko :)

Nov 12, 2008 - not just shot, the man was shot by a .357 magnum, to even be living after that is amazing in itself, but to keep fighting after that? incredible. he lost 70lbs after the incident. its a shame that many people consider this alis best fight, because williams was really in no condition to fight, so to speak :)
kashattack Says:
Nov 13, 2008 - Ali was doing the shuffle and at the same time connecting with a flurry of punches. That sort of co-ordination is amazing, no wonder his opponent looked totally dazzled!
sweetsciencest Says:
Nov 13, 2008 - i believe Ali when he says "That CW had some hard punches." I also think that Cleveland was in great shape for this fight and completely recovered from that injury at fight time but he couldn't beat father time. I mean kudos to Cleveland. He was there. he was in shape. He went out to a prime Ali..who some say was the greatest ever so no shame in that.

Nov 14, 2008 - you think cleveland williams completely recovered from a magnum shot to the stomach that made him lose half hes internal organs? completely recovered? thats nonsense mate seriously, he was never the same after that, but who would be? and of course father time was also gonna play a roll in hes downfall after such a injury :)

Nov 15, 2008 - ali landed over 100 punches that fight
kbi35 Says:
Nov 17, 2008 - Yes.. A 357. Drs were amazed he survived and credited to his abmormally strong abs, which cushioned the blow preventing the bullet from hitting any of his vital organs..Listoned also cheated in his win againt MR Williams.
kbi35 Says:
Nov 17, 2008 - Ali gave the man a well deserved pay day.
abeasaff Says:
Oct 29, 2008 - tyson would bit both of alis ears off because ali would have him so mind f'ed
