Howard Cosell and Muhammad Ali (Nice Documentary) 

Great comment JJ !!

True A champion inside and outside the ring.The people's champion. There will never be another MOHAMAD ALI

a special human being? like would your depiction of the greatest sports figure include his bashing of other opponents, arrogance and ego, and the fact he was a womanizer? please...

***** I said special, not perfect.

Iron Mike Well my comment goes to both either special or perfect.... By the way, there's nothing special (in the positive framework) of a tongue like that of Ali... or Weather Jr. the third.... or MIKE TYSON HIMSELF.... their behavior further feeds the existing labels which portray blacks in America... and I'm sure you are aware of this.

***** I'm sure black people look at Ail as an iconic American figure. And rightfully so. His position on the draft was epic. I love Tyson and Mayweather too but I wouldn't go so far as to say they're American icons. In the ring yeah, but they pale in comparison to the charisma Ali had. I'm not trying to argue with you. You're free to feel however you want. But I really urge you to reconsider your outlook on Ali. Whether you do or don't is up to you. Ali's is the man my friend.

Iron Mike They hear what they want to hear... they see what they want to see... Of course, if there is no moral compass to follow and no shame of the behaviors a group of people commit, then how would they ever evolve from their condition.... IN OTHER WORDS, you don't understand how perverse it is to pervert an entire sport by acting how ali acted.... how weather jr. the thirds acts out... how mike "ears" Tyson behaved... I'm not talking about their boxing... i'm talking about their behaviors.... and the fact is that the world is lost because they actually admire people like this in the name of "sportsmanship".... But anyways.... there's nothing to discuss with you.... I maintain my above statement ...

Why do we all need to know the details...me, my I over n over. 🤡

Yes, and Billy Crystal also.

lollll!! 😊More like a Tag Team or Great Duo RIP ALI & COSELL

..The fighter still remains... Paul Simon / The Boxer

Seriously…

​@@BladeRunner-td8beyeah but that song was about a small time club fighter, not a world champ. Ali let himself get robbed over and over by the same people and that's why he kept fighting. He wanted to retire many times, but financial constraints made it difficult.

I love that great word play😁

Cassius clay was the man, like a skinny alien kid with blinding unmatched speed from another planet..

I’m

George foreman won it in his 40s.

I noticed that too

Yeah he was slurring, not as bad as it would become, but def could see it beginning

This interview? How far did you get in the video? Because there were multiple interviews held here between 1964 and 1981 in this video.

Holmes was never a great champion because he had no charisma no character easily forgotten

He was , he dominated. He just wasn't diplomatic and said what people wanted. Outspoken and real. He's mellowed a bit now though and the people that have met him, say positive things Underated fighter, he dominated an era and would of beaten foreman if he fought in the 70s

Big up Cosell, Howard for his rendering of athletes like Ali nuff respect. However, human tolerance is an act of will that Ali demo strated countless many times over, again, against opponents in their prime, for One let's keep in the sport Of pure 🥊 Boxing withal due respect.

Idolater.

I'd take the one billion dollars, bring all the available tapes and books about Ali, and help hundreds (if not thousands) of lil lost kids to find out they way in this savage life.. Perhaps i will make another Ali, maybe not, but what I will do is exactly what Muhammad Ali preached all over his life in and outside the ring. So, I think you're exaggerating my friend.. Coz love can never be blind.

Not parkinson.. his slurring voice is from brain damaga for all the punches he took. You cant get parkinson by boxing. He had parkinson but thats another story

It was 1979

@@boxeolocopunch762 That's speculative. Parkinsons affects the muscle used for speech and can greatly inhibit one's capacity to communicate. It was the consensus of the doctors who examined him that he had no mental or intellectual impairment, that it was a matter of impaired speech capacity as a result of Parkinsons.

That is a very good point. That was a highly disputed decision in Ali's favor. During that time it was virtually impossible to win a decision against Muhammad Ali. He was just too popular. My opinion is that I felt Jimmy Young did enough to win the fight.

Jesus is he greatest

@@patprr1756 yes but he was a messenger of God

@@Babu-lr3wp He is God .

@@patprr1756 only your god

Mohamed was a man of unique greatness, may Allah rest his soul

That's from the true word of God , the bible .

@@patprr1756 Amen to that

Exile not incarceration, he never went to prison

and what's sad is that he kept fighting. He shouldn't have been fighting but they let him fight. They made money of this man and didn't care about him or his health.

The Wepner fight is when you start seeing the parkinsons shortly prior. During the tv show with Ali/wepner on stage. The videos are on youtube in two parts. His speech is slurred at times and he studders a good bit on occasion. It really shows after the Shavers fight and in the roach spray commercial. From then on its obvious but the signs are there after the Foreman fight and before the Wepner fight if you look close. I agree with what you said.

justin welsh ...The year was 1977 shortly after Ali's bout against Shavers.

His team doctor quit because Ali ignored his warnings that his health was deteriorating.

Did Ali have any signs of Parkinson during the George Foreman fight.

To be honest Ali illness started to be noticeable after the first spinks fight in February 1978 watching the video in 24:15
