He is one of the greats he didn’t deserve to go out that way

Sonny deserved better. Such a hard life, and a hell of a man to survive it.

Sad story. Even with all the teasing and clowning, Ali wanted Sonny to end the fight with dignity.

In the end it's important to remember these fighters are usually trying to feed their families and communities. Love that you added that

Sonny and Floyd didnt deserve it but it was the times, black men were products(still are)..great video, i like you make it so comprehensive.

When you hear this story it totally paints that iconic frame of Mohammed looking down at him differently and people have been marketing it as if he was Michael Jordan of boxing. Technically true, but there's more to it than that and now I don't really feel for or against Mohammed because of this.

By the way, Sonny and Floyd did become good friends, and Floyd gave him the title shot cuz he felt he deserved it

Bro you bouta blow tf up.. your storytelling is damn near GOD level💯✊🏿💪🏿

In the discussion of great heavyweights, any real boxing fan knows Sonny is always up there. He was a great boxer as well as being probably the scariest man that ever stepped into a ring.

George Foreman said Liston hit him harder than anyone. I will always believe Liston took a dive in the Ali 2 to save his family who were being watched by some bad ppl.

I am so happy I found this channel. One of the best story tellers ever. Love the content and delivery.

Holy moly what a history lesson. I didnt know any of this. I just thought that was a dope photo of Ali over one of his beaten opponents. I learned today.

Lmfao the intro of Ali was such an up and down rollercoaster for me. Video : “Pretty boy little clown who loved to run his mouth” Me screaming at my phone: “ YOU BETTER RESPECT ALI NAME MY GUY. “ *next sentence happens* : nobody knew he had a monster inside him Me : oh my bad KZfaq guy, continue 😂😂😂

The world will chew you up and spit you out. Shout to every teacher that became frustrated durimg classs and would say this to us. God, I miss the simpleton days. I can appreciate every bit of advice I was given by people who I once thought were old, outdated, out of touch and "just don't understand". At 40 yo.... I'm those teachers. You won't always be young, but if you don't prepare, you will always be dumb. ❤

Floyd Patterson (the guy Sonny Liston beat) was trained by the legendary Cus D'Amato who also trained Mike Tyson. Floyd gave Liston a title shot because he believed that he earned it. He was a gentleman who represented Black America at the time, and his loss to the "big bad Liston" was a major blow to the Civil Rights Movement

BRO YOU IS H I M!!! Greatest STORYTELLER ON ANYONE SCREEN!!

Boy lookes his manager and said Et Tu 😂😂😂 had me

Great video man.

I can almost respect Sonny’s answer, screaming to get up to someone to got knocked down fucks with them mentally, My dads old ass drunk friends got into a fight, a bunch of them circled pops, I was under age drinking at the bar, jumped up on the bar and dove at the goons going for my pops. We’re scrapping in the bar, an older head smashes a bottle of gin over my head, I ended up needing 20 dissolvable stitches, 60 normal, to close the back of my head. They tried saying it was over, I stood up, and continued to fight adults while screaming I ain’t done yet, fighting for my pops 😂😂😂 Mfers ran out the bar 😂😂

I usually don’t engage with this type of content. But you break everything down, get straight to the point, all while not expecting us to sit here for half an hour. I don’t have a short attention span, but I love how concise your content is. Keep up the good work. 👏🏾

This is actually heartbreaking.

When I heard that "et tu?" reference I was hooked. Great stuff brother!

Recently discovered this channel and really glad to see the videos growing into a longer and more detailed format. Gives the unique storytelling more room to shine. I enjoyed this one a lot because of the final thought moment at the end. Great work.

Can’t stop watching these vids! Amazing job

Current fav story teller. Keep doing you 🤘🏻

The way you use your voice is a talent. The natural rasp and random inflections makes for dynamic storytelling. Bravo!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 great job.

Interesting

Woah! How I never heard this before? And for you to tell it in a few minutes precisely is crazy! Someone give this guy a Netflix deal

Great stuff

‘T was a pleasure to watch

Great story

You should just do hour long video essays & use these shortened versions for YT shorts

The captions😊

THAT HIT 😤🔥🔥🔥💀❤️❤️🗣️🗣️🧙‍♂️

Damn,that hit hard.

Imagine if it ended in an injury. What would the ref have done if so?

too many depressing stroeis about great black boxers... from the great joe louis... to jack johnson to the great sam langford... the one that pissed me the most is joe louis... man just thinking about it makes me mad 👿

Wow!

Meek Mills: "GET UPPPPP!!!"

Never give into your past Sonny didn't deserve the treatment, but sadly he kept making poor decisions. Great man sadly when they fall the height is greater

Tragic

Sounds like he took a dive because the mob told him to

What a terrible ending, 10/10 story

🔥

😞

Sonny whooped Patterson ass lol

Wow

Not too much!😂😂

Ali’s is Goku’s inspiration???💀

Cap not actual facts and also the reason behind sonny being involved with the mob wasn’t entirely true. The reasons he chose to lose was far deeper than that.

Eh tu brutus?

3:02 OH NAH YOU SKIPPING SHIT NOW THE ONLY REASON SONNY HAD THE GUN IS CUZ ALI *WAS GOING TO HIS HOUSE AND YELLING AT HIM THROUGH A SOUND SYSTEM* ali was being hella extra and sonny just wanted to chill 😂😂😂

BASICALLY HOW THE LABEL FELT WITH DRAKE VS KDOT

Cute talks, but both fights with ali was paid by arab muslims
