Muhammad Ali Training Footage
Following the popularity of the last entry, here is another look back at the training style of an all time great. Within the video below, you’ll see footage of Muhammad Ali training for various fights throughout his career. Included are preparations for opponents such as Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, Ernie Terrell, and George Foreman. You’ll see Ali hitting the bags, shadow boxing, jumping rope, and sparring with those such as Larry Holmes and Jimmy Ellis. You’ll also hear commentary from Ali’s trainer Angelo Dundee.
As with the previous entry, you’ll see a world class fighter who thrived on the basics.

Most excellent.
Ever see that video of Fedor training the basics at a playground in Russia? If arguably the greatest MMA fighter of all time doesn’t need fancy equipment to stay on top in arguably the most grueling sport in the world I don’t see why others need it.
I am convinced that what separates the best from the rest is a willingness to perfect the basics.

Great Video of Ali, I have always been a big fan. I was born in the Bronx so it was great for me to see Ali training in the Bronx.
It was good to hear Howard Cosell voice too.
