One of the greatest single-season performances in boxing history, IMO. If you understand exactly what he had to do and the rigorous schedule he had to endure, you would agree. Ali fought 5 times in this year, and had to go into hostile territory every-single time.

First he fights George Chuvalo in March, and he fights it on Canadian soil, where everyone will be pulling for Chuvalo. Not only that, but Ali only had 17 days to train! Despite that, Ali comes in in decent shape and puts on a boxing clinic, losing only one or two rounds and winning at least twelve of the fifteen. Then in May, he has a rematch with Henry Cooper, who decked him three years ago. Again, he fights him on his native soild of Britain, where Muhammad's only cheering section are his seconds. He comes in fantastic shape and demontrates how excellent he is in rematches, by completely neutralizing Cooper's left hook and doing more on the inside. He then ends the fight in the sixth, by cuttting up and wobbling the challenger, prompting a stoppage. August 6, and he's back in the ring against Brian London. Again, he only has about three weeks to train, and his opponent has home field advantage, but he still manages to destroy his challenger with relative ease. Six weeks later and it's off to Germany to face 3rd ranked Karl Mildenberger. Ali whips himself into phenominal shape, and has to find it in him to overcome a crowd booing against him. He also was brave enough to take on a southpaw, as many other champions in the past never wanted anypart of southpaws, as they are hard to fight because of their awkwardness. However, Ali still comes throught in the clutch. Then he comes back to the U.S. and fights Houston's Cleveland Willams, in Houston, Texas. In this last fight of the year, Ali puts on possibly the greatest performance by a pugilist of all-time, All the while hearing a crowd of boos.

For Ali to schedule fights at that pace and to travel to different countries fighting in hostile territory, each and every single time is remarkable to say the least. Five title fights in one year is an amazing feat. Truly 1966 was the year of Muhammad Ali!:good

England won World Cup but, even more importantly, Everton won the FA Cup. Here's some of our fans with some guy called Clay, summer of 66. :good

what happend in 1966? did england win the world cup or something?




Larry holmes KO 11 Peak ali

Yes. How dare Ali be 7 years older? He has more experience that way. Also Ali taking two years off and shedding over 50lbs quickly was not fair by Ali, as he would be more rested and refreshed from fighting. Ali had every advantage that night, and Holmes didn't.:yep

Ali 1966 is way over rated.

Walker, Robinson, Armstrong, Canzi, Leonard, Gans, all had way better YEARLY runs than Ali ever did in 66 imo. plus other fighters that fought 40 times a year.

And one tiny invented made the travel possible, the Airplane.

If Ali went to thsos countrys by Train I be impress(As Greb and Dempsey were doing in the 20's)

Doesnt matter, when your traveling from one city to other city fighting the likes of Tiger Flowers, Mike Gibbions, and Walker in a few weeks time, train to train to reach the city. Ali had it easy in regards to travel.

Hell of a lot easier traveling by train. You get to lay down and sleep. You have room to have meals around a table. Traveling by plane increases your changes of contracting respiratory ailments, and pressure causes balance problems.

Totally silly argument Dempsey is making. Obviously he's got a thing against Ali.

Dempsey1238

It may take a few days to reach were your going by Train. And most of these 1920's were not places of comfort.

Ali could get there in 14 hours time. Ali had it easy.

Well Dempsey didnt take on the type of foes that Armstrong or Benny took. imo. Armstrong's best year was perhaps 1937. 27 wins, and most of em by ko. And most of thsos guys were world beaters. I relly have a hard time comparing say Armstrong's best year with Ali's 66 imo.

Dempsey1238
09-18-2007, 07:22 AM
looking over Armstrong's record, his 1938 is impressive also.

Wins over Ross, Wright, Arizmendi, and Garcia are better than Ali's 66 lol.

Yeah, England won the Football World Cup against Germany with a goal where people still argueing today if it was one or not :D

It wasn't a goal as the whole of the ball didn't cross the line.

Depends who you ask, i know plenty who will argue that is was one.

This mistake was the turning point in the match. Had it been correctly disallowed, Germany wouldn't have been so disheartened and would possibly have gone on to win. Over 40 years on and my fellow Englishmen still hold on to that faded memory of England beating Germany and Bobby Moore holding aloft the World Cup, in the delusional and futile hope that it could possibly happen again. England will never win another world cup.

:D One goal may have been dodgy, but the other where he managed to make a fool of the whole England defence, well that was just sublime. I say it was humbling because England (not a bad team at the time) were humbled by essentially a one man team.

In fact the 1st goal Mano De Dios was also an amazing sight to behold.

In 1966, Ali was reaching the peak of his powers as a fighter, but he had become person non grata in his own country for daring to speak his mind about a certain war.

This, plus the fact that he truly took to heart the title of Champion of the World lent itself to our seeing Ali in venues such as Canada, England and Germany in 1966.

It all came to a head at the Astrodome against the Big Cat, as Ali showed what the most talented heavyweight champion of all time could do when inspired by the inner fire of the good fight.

I sometimes think about Ali in '66. He knew he was the greatest fighter in the world, yet, instead of simply going the way of hedonism and conceit, he sided with the little and exploited. Whenever I envision him floating so marvelously and royally that night in Houston, I see a true champion in and out of the ring.

It's funny how anything to do with the "World Game" seems to bring out the worst in people.

I watched a doco about English hooligans at the last World Cup and they seemed to equate their booze riddled racism and violence as showing patriotism towards their country.But all patriotism meant to them was denigrating or beating up someone who looked or spoke differently to them and happened to support another country.

And all this over a game.

I didn't say you deserve to be shot because you don't conform. I said you deserve to be shot because you are clearly a racist.

You are obviously a racist and your attitude is pathetic.

Just because I don't happen to support the English Football Team, you accuse me of being an assylum seeker or immigrant. Then you bring up the fact that I'm muslim, as if that has anything to do with it. You said Somalians and ****stani's come to the uk to cause problems and kill people etc.

Generally people aren't wary of my religion, because they don't believe the media bullshit and assume we are all terrorists. However, retarded fuckers like you don't know how to think for themselves. You probably think all black people are drug dealers and gangsters.

Just because I don't happen to support the English Football Team, you accuse me of being an assylum seeker or immigrant. Then you bring up the fact that I'm muslim, as if that has anything to do with it. You said Somalians and ****stani's come to the uk to cause problems and kill people etc.

Generally people aren't wary of my religion, because they don't believe the media bullshit and assume we are all terrorists. However, retarded fuckers like you don't know how to think for themselves. You probably think all black people are drug dealers and gangsters.

Like I said you are just plain pathetic. A fucking racist.
If you can find any other of my 2000odd posts which would constitute a racist opinion, then you can call me a racist!

Hey, that's fine. I think it was Samuel Johnson that once said "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel". However, having an England defeat as your 'favourite ever moment' I think's a bit sad to be honest. I'm sure there's not too many Argies that have the world Cup 1990 defeat as their 'best ever moment'. Maybe a few didn't give a fuck if they won or lost, that's fine, they don't have to. Still...


So, June 22nd 1986 is your best moment, what's your 'second best': 1st July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme?

I didn't say it was my best moment full stop did I?

We were speaking in the context of the '66 England V Germany disputed goal incident and I said in terms of England getting their cummupance, '86 was my favourite moment. You took offence to this and your hatred of me culminated in you calling me an immigrant. Followed by another distasteful comment when you said I should leave the country.

The blatant & deliberate cheating of the 1st goal was there for all to see. It was an injustice yes, but the 2nd goal was a goal of such individual brilliance, wonder and beauty that (for me) it eclipsed every other goal scored in the history of the game.

The 1st goal (Mano De Dios) was lucky and Argentina were fortunate the ref allowed it to stand, in the same way as the ref/linesman allowed Englands controversial against Germany goal in '66.

I like Maradona's hand of god goal because it was ironic that he being the shortest player on the field was able to out jump the towering Shilton and get to the ball before him. Plus the fact that the the goal was 2 fingers up to all the patriotic English and their unfair taking of the Falkland Islands. I respected Maradona for what he achieved that day.

It is one thing to not be nationalistic and patriotic - it is another thing to actually be against your own country. I don't have anything against any nationality (except most Yanks), but I'm still proud of my country.

Why? Have you done anything to be British? It is an achievement to be British? I never got that "beeing proud of my country" thing.

Yes I did say it was my 'personal favourite'. However, my analogy is still a valid one. Either way I am glad England got beat that day in '86 it was the correct result.

They are not concerned at all about their country, nor any country in particular, they are above the law and above borders. The only thing they serve, honour and respect is wealth. Their greed and selfishness are their virues while they cultivate indifference and passivity among their slaves (you being one of them).

One of the greatest single-season performances in boxing history, IMO. If you understand exactly what he had to do and the rigorous schedule he had to endure, you would agree. Ali fought 5 times in this year, and had to go into hostile territory every-single time. BTW, that little transistor radio was bigger than Arrans tvlol

First he fights George Chuvalo in March, and he fights it on Canadian soil, where everyone will be pulling for Chuvalo. Not only that, but Ali only had 17 days to train! Despite that, Ali comes in in decent shape and puts on a boxing clinic, losing only one or two rounds and winning at least twelve of the fifteen. Then in May, he has a rematch with Henry Cooper, who decked him three years ago. Again, he fights him on his native soild of Britain, where Muhammad's only cheering section are his seconds. He comes in fantastic shape and demontrates how excellent he is in rematches, by completely neutralizing Cooper's left hook and doing more on the inside. He then ends the fight in the sixth, by cuttting up and wobbling the challenger, prompting a stoppage. August 6, and he's back in the ring against Brian London. Again, he only has about three weeks to train, and his opponent has home field advantage, but he still manages to destroy his challenger with relative ease. Six weeks later and it's off to Germany to face 3rd ranked Karl Mildenberger. Ali whips himself into phenominal shape, and has to find it in him to overcome a crowd booing against him. He also was brave enough to take on a southpaw, as many other champions in the past never wanted anypart of southpaws, as they are hard to fight because of their awkwardness. However, Ali still comes throught in the clutch. Then he comes back to the U.S. and fights Houston's Cleveland Willams, in Houston, Texas. In this last fight of the year, Ali puts on possibly the greatest performance by a pugilist of all-time, All the while hearing a crowd of boos.

For Ali to schedule fights at that pace and to travel to different countries fighting in hostile territory, each and every single time is remarkable to say the least. Five title fights in one year is an amazing feat. Truly 1966 was the year of Muhammad Ali!:good

i was 15 at the time and had been following boxing for a couple years. i listened to most of those fights on my little transistor radio. Good post, which brings back a lot of fond memories. BTW, that little transistor radio was bigger than Arrans tvlol. That was for you Icemann

Despite that, Ali comes in in decent shape and puts on a boxing clinic, losing only one or two rounds and winning at least twelve of the fifteen. Then in May, he has a rematch with Henry Cooper, who decked him three years ago. Again, he fights him on his native soild of Britain, where Muhammad's only cheering section are his seconds. He comes in fantastic shape and demontrates how excellent he is in rematches, by completely neutralizing Cooper's left hook and doing more on the inside. He then ends the fight in the sixth, by cuttting up and wobbling the challenger, prompting a stoppage. August 6, and he's back in the ring against Brian London. Again, he only has about three weeks to train, and his opponent has home field advantage, but he still manages to destroy his challenger with relative ease. Six weeks later and it's off to Germany to face 3rd ranked Karl Mildenberger. Ali whips himself into phenominal shape, and has to find it in him to overcome a crowd booing against him. He also was brave enough to take on a southpaw, as many other champions in the past never wanted anypart of southpaws, as they are hard to fight because of their awkwardness. However, Ali still comes throught in the clutch. Then he comes back to the U.S. and fights Houston's Cleveland Willams, in Houston, Texas. In this last fight of the year, Ali puts on possibly the greatest performance by a pugilist of all-time, All the while hearing a crowd of boos.

For Ali to schedule fights at that pace and to travel to different countries fighting in hostile territory, each and every single time is remarkable to say the least. Five title fights in one year is an amazing feat. Truly 1966 was the year of Muhammad Ali!:good

Yes '66 was one hell of an impressive year for Ali. I hadn't really thought about how much travelling he had done in that single year and the hostile territory factor.

It was a remarkable run.

Like with Joe Louis in the so called bum of the month phase he had a B grade division but did everything he could with it. People are often too slow to give credit to champions who raise the bar in terms of frequency and quality of title defences.

Larry holmes KO 11 Peak ali

I think that is a possibility. I don't know that Ali would have ever had an easy time against Holmes - prime vs prime of course.
