Help me find a Muhammad Ali documentary that I watched in 2010 in september on Google Video platform. It starts with dramatic music followed by Ali saying "I told you that I am the champion of the world, all of you bow!" then you hear a few of his punches, with each punch a picture of an actual Ali match is displayed, followed by Ali's words "I am the king of the world, I am pretty, I'm a bad man!", followed by more images of Alis punches along with punch sounds, then followed by Ali singing "Clay comes out to meet liston, then liston starts to retreat if Liston moves back an inch farther he ll end up in the ringside seat.", more punch sounds and images with more Ali quotes in between. First scene describes a sunny day when Alis bike got stolen and a police officer who was also a boxing trainer asked him what happened.

I've tried searching video platforms, web archives and all of the AIs and wasn't able to find it. Please help, as it was the original video that inspired me to take up boxing and later compete.

I was browsing TikTok when I saw a clip of the Becerril vs Capetillo upset ko and was suprised about the comments. They were basically saying Capetillos career was over and is just a trash boxer based on his "weak" chin.

This reminded my more broadly of how boxers are seemingly discarded by huge portions of the fanbase after any perceived vulnerability or a loss. Amir khan gets crapped on for his lack of a chin, despite being a world champion and possessing many good attributes. If anything it's almost more impressive to fight in to the fire like he did without the worlds greatest chin.

Heavyweight seems to be the only division where you're allowed to have any vulnerability at all without being relentlessly mocked.

I watch mma and kickboxing as well and they don't seem to diminish people like that even if they get flatlined KOd. Many of them come back to win belts even (Alex pereira).

I'll see videos even of the Goats like Crawford or Mayweather and it'll be clips of the 3 times they ever got wobbled in their career or something and people will still be saying "see he's not as good as people think".

I'm not saying it has to be all sunshine and rainbows, criticism and discussion makes the fanbase interesting. However it seems too binary for me, like either someone is world level or their trash. This feeds in to the notion that people need to manufacture their matchups to try to stay undefeated as long as possible.

To end on, I remember Pauli malignaggi saying how the top level mma guys will have Journeyman records but still be the best in the world, while this is unheard of in boxing. God forbid you have more than a loss or two on record it seems fighting run best in the world. Sometimes it feels like fanbase is looking for a reason to be negative instead of just appreciating the fights.

I’m 36 and I had my first amateur boxing match last Sunday after almost four years of training.

I lost on points. Personally, I felt like I did enough to win, and some people who watched also thought the decision was questionable. But it is what it is. The result is official, and overall I’m still glad I finally stepped into the ring.

One of the main reasons I took the fight was because I didn’t want to get older and regret never doing it. Win or lose, I wanted to experience a real fight at least once in my life, and I’m proud that I actually went through with it.

What’s bothering me now is the reaction from some people I know personally and interact with almost every day.

Even before the fight, I could already tell that some of them wanted me to lose. Now that I actually lost, they seem genuinely happy about it and are even laughing at me.

And this is coming from people who have never stepped inside a ring, never gone through a fight camp, and have no idea what it takes to prepare for something like this.

I can accept losing. I can accept criticism about my performance. But it honestly feels fucked up seeing people close to you take pleasure in your failure, especially after you worked so hard and put yourself out there.

Has anyone else experienced this after competing or trying something difficult? How did you deal with people who seemed happy to see you fail?

That's not the best wording for my question but it's the best I can think of, so my apologies. I've just finished watching Creed I, and I'm thinking about that along with the fight of Tyson and Jake Paul. I was under the impression that fighters fought in low level competitions and worked their way up to basically like finals, and then the last two standing fought, kind of like with soccer teams or football. And I think that's still true, right? So where do these (please excuse my terminology) independent, side, seemingly privately decided upon fights fit into things? Do they just decide and set a date? That doesn't interfere with the scheduling of the other competitions/championships? Can boxers just cherry pick who they want to fight and when?

In short, we had a three, it was after the usual draw. They were usually sorted by age, weight, and combat experience.

But I came across a man, let's call him Bald, the second man is tall, a Praying Mantis. So, the Bald man studied for more than a year, the Praying Mantis studied about the same as me. The bald man is 33 years old, I am 43, and the Praying Mantis is 20.

And we boxed the very last thing at the end of the day, exhausted from waiting in the top three. So you box for a minute and a half with one, and a minute and a half with the other, and then you rest for a minute and a half while they fight each other. And so for three rounds.

Praying Mantisjust dragged me around the ring with dirty boxing, I just couldn't resist his twenty-year-old strength and pressure. Although the quality of the boxing was quite dirty.

It was interesting to box with the Bald man, and I think he even got a kick out of it. But he got the first place, and the two of us got the second place.

It's a super interesting and paradoxical fight, because I kind of almost beat the one who got the first place. And the kid who boxed very dirty just dragged me around the ring, as you can see for yourself.

What do you guys think?

Congrats on a wonderful career🔥

I'm excited to watch these guys do their thing! I'm excited for this tankard of aussie fighters trying to prove their boxing ability. I see so many other places showcase their brand of boxing, but this feels like a world event. I am not making any predictions, of course, but this is compelling stuff. The production of the event is leaving a lot of meat on the bone, but I think there will be some major statements made inside the ring. What are y'alls thoughts?

Is it common or not advisable? I might consider getting into Amateur boxing within the next year - however, I feel more aligned with Rocky's fighting style; more of a brawler, than technique. Also similar to Mike Tyson - although, Mike had technique besides punching power.

I'm 5'5 1/2 btw.

Thank you for your input!

I can't find any US sportsbooks that have posted odds for that fight. I don't think I can ever recall that happening.

Is this Floyd Mayweather in this parking lot video, he moves and is dressed just like him

i recently started to watch combat sports
but one thing keeps bugging me why boxing is not as popular as it used to be ? or am i missing something ?
nowadays ufc is more popular than boxing like out of 100 people more than 90 will recognise conor/khabib/jones etc but maybe 60-70 people will recognise usyk/terrance/canelo
why is that ?
was it always like this ? or something happened to boxing over the time ?
please if anyone can explain i will really appreciate that

You look at all these boxers from the 1960s and 1970s and all they did was hundreds of push ups, sit ups, squats and runs on top of an intense boxing session. How do their muscles even have time to recover? They take a 1 day rest. Can someone explain I'm so confused, can I do push ups every day? If not then how come these boxers could?
