It was the time he came for the Logies and Bert Newton floored everyone at the Logies by putting on his Colonel Sanders accent and saying, "I like the boy". A gross insult to a black man.

ALI handled it with finesse and style and BERT realising he had stuffed up royally used all of his wit and personality to 'make it up' to ALI. It was a great moment in television.

Ha! Never seen that. Agree - Bert managed to flatter Ali respectfully, but I think Ali realised Bert said it with pure 'ignorance' rather than 'spite'. Mind you - I think it saved Ali from his poor attempt at humour that fell flate a few seconds previously. Ahh yes - those 'awkward' moments.
Reminds me of Hey Hey Its Saturday's "Red Faces" with Harry Connick Jr.

...yep - there's a part of America that feels 'free' from it all, just because its all the way 'down under'.

My Top 10 Boxing moments but not in any order:

1. NZ Heavyweight - Jimmy Thunder's 1st Round Knockout (1st Punch landed) just a few seconds after the opening bell.
2. Sugar-Ray Leonard V Marvellous Marvin Hagler ...just didn't like Leonards running from Hagler though.
3. Poland's Adamek V NZ's Briggs in rounds 8 & 9 : Pure Brutality !!!
4. Ali V Foreman
5. Ali V Ernie Shackles ...Ali not the Greatest.
6. De la Hoya V Mosley
7. Mike Tyson - his 'prime' fights of early career before being corrupted and ruined.
8. Barry Michael V Lester Ellis
9. Kostya Tzuyu fights ...far more entertaining than the boring bullying style of Fenech
10. Jeff Harding V Dennis Andries ...possibly the best Boxing moment for me was watching Jeff Harding taking 'opportunity' and becoming a Boxing sensation overnight around the world. Even the following two fights were impressive. It was as close to Rocky as Boxing got. Shame about Harding's life 'after' Boxing. Its a 'Hard Life' indeed Sad

watch the video again - check the slowmo.

He was fast, pretty & couldn't be beat. Grin

yes, saw it, beautiful boxing

Thanks Sprint,
Yes it shows supreme skill.
Ali fought guys who could hit harder than him -
guys who dominated the fights -
yet his pure speed & boxing skill won the fights.
He seemed to be able to still defend himself even when on the ropes -
when other boxers would be finished.

Yes it is great footage:

I count 7 punches to the face which all hit
from 6m.36s to 6m.38s - only 2 seconds -
that's more than 3 punches a second!
