Historic Vids Would you ever see a better video

Muhammad Ali attempted to lift the 76-year-old former World Bantamweight boxing champion, Johnny Coulon. Coulon was believed to be known for a famous trick in which he used his finger on the lifter's neck and wrist, making himself seemingly unliftable. After retiring from boxing in 1914, Johnny Coulon, a former bantamweight champion, measuring 5 feet and weighing 110 pounds, took to the vaudeville circuit. He showcased his seemingly inexplicable ability to resist being lifted into the air. Coulon's act was straightforward. He would initially allow himself to be lifted by his "opponent," often a heavyweight boxer, wrestler, or weightlifter. The lifter would easily hoist the smaller man into the air, as Coulon would straighten his body into a vertical line and push down on the lifter's wrists, assisting in the lift. Then came Coulon's special counter-grip, where he allegedly lightly grasped the lifter's right wrist (over the pulse-point) with his left hand and placed his right index finger on the left side of the lifter's neck, near the carotid artery. It is speculated that no matter how much the lifter strained and struggled, Coulon remained firmly planted on the floor.

@historyinmemes The woman’s got some good legwork. See how she matches Ali’s dance.

@historyinmemes What's the woman's name?
