@@davewalsh1006 He Did Commit Adultery Against His Wife Belinda With An 18 Year Old Women Named Veronica Porsh During The Thrilla In Manilla Fight And Was A Womanizer For Many Years Behind Closed Doors!!!
“I told you I was gonna beat George Foreman and you’re gonna beat cancer”....Ali trying his best to lift up that child....I return to this often to remind me how special he was.
@@adamsamuel8593 it was not only Ali's incredible boxing skills, but also his role in society, as a fighter for equal rights. Then add his unrivaled charisma and ability of speech, and then there is only one conclusion: there will never ever be anybody like Muhammad Ali!
@@adamsamuel8593 We will never ever live long enough to see another Muhammad, even if we all live to be a million years old because Muhammad was unique, just as all of us are unique.
I've been a fan of Ali since before he was champ Growing up then, he was a hero to us; the devil incarnate to the hard hats. Now he's a hero to almost everyone. A beautiful boxer and a better man for the last 50 years. God Bless, Ali.
No man is better?? U kidding me?! On boxing and in standing anti racism and many other social ills, he may well be up there with the best. But no way one can assert no man is greater M Ali.
@@midmay2009 I'm stating my opinion not yours or anyone else's. That's what leaving a comment mean. If you don't agree that's fine, leave your own comment don't trash another persons. "Are you kidding me" everyone has to view it as you do?. In his life no man was greater as in "I am the greatest" didn't think I had to explain that.
@@steveorules6262 When you post a comment it is between you and the world. And the world here means ppl like me. So when I say 'U kidding me', first it is a reaction. Then, my understanding was that you are asserting as if there is none like him, in all sphere if life. . And i am contesting that that can't be true.Yes he is the greatest only in his field and also for standing for social discrimination. Other than that in no way I'm trashing you. No way.
if earth is going to revolve on its axis for another 1000 more years ...dere wont be another Mohammad Ali...RIP Champ ...u will always b d Greatest...!!!
Ali has been in heaven two years..yet the earth still reverberates from him having walked on it. ..a giant among men...a valiant gladiator until the end...my hero, my mentor, a phoenix and a butterfly...I want to meet you in heaven...
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C Go on a soccer page with this. Dont ever comment on the GREATEST (Ali) story page, by talking about something totally different. JUST DISRESPECTFUL
@@aniqshardin Clay/Ali had a lot going on at that time, he was more socio-politically adept at that time, even as a gold medalist he wasn't welcomed at the front counter of a restaurant in his hometown. The Beatles never faced such racism. They were foreign to Ali and the word faggot wasn't a death nail back in the sixties.
Muhammad Ali was the greatest man.of all times, it's a pity he have to died. Jus foot prints will never be erased. Rest in peace Mohammed Ali. You wi never be forgotten.
Me still remember when a little boy in the 70s shadow boxing thinking I was cassius clay, now as an old man still admiring him and watching his videos. He wasn't just a boxer he was also a great huma being. Rip champ.
Patterson said it was shameful that a moslem was world champion, And that he wud bring the title back to America....that's why Ali punished him! Terrell, in essence, put himself up to be the same... And that's why he too was punished. It is wrong to present that Ali brought religion and politics into the ring...it's the bigots who did . So Ali did not have one opponent to whup... But millions of bigots too!
He was the Best. Simply put. The Best Fighter, the best Human, the Best example and I'm sure the Best Friend a man could have. At the end of this video it appeared to me that Muhammad was holding that big Oak tree up straight - I swear to God.
Ah yes, yet another video to speak of the greatness of the greatest. The never ending praise of a very nice man who was the greatest of any boxer, fighter, who ever lived! Right? Sure
The great eye opening documentary on an unprecdented self created man, the greatest boxer we call him the goat. We miss this greatest boxer and human being. Riep
Everytime I watch Ali Foreman fight tears run down my cheeks, I never doubted Ali would win. I never doubted Muhammad Ali I belived 100% As a kid I would stay up all night listening to my little radio the Liston fight Tyrell fight.
Ali is the greatest at this point hes fixed in time and immortalized in boxing he made me study boxing right from the beginning I think its important that we recognise pre ali boxers and study them just like pre Socrates era of course after ali the sport became so much bigger
Liston urinated on his picture, ALI dropped him twice, no matter how much you hate your enemies, one should never leave the boundaries of humanity, hate, but as a human.. Liston died in suspicious circumstances, ALI was mourned the world over.. Is it a coincidence, that the greatest warrior in Islamic ALI, The son in law of Prophet Muhammad pbuh, is the name of the greatest warrior of modern times, MOHAMMAD ALI..
@@richardbranton7396 Joe let Ali borrow some money so Ali could apply and get his license to box again. They were in line to make millions, it was the first fight between two undefeated champions guaranteed million dollar purses, they wanted to get that done before time passed, it was hard to get it sanctioned because of all the controversy, Ali had only two warm-up fights after being suspended for 3.5 years: Quarry and Bonavena.
Ali last 2 fights were his 2 of his 5 losses he had clear signs of parkinsons as he couldn't even dodge a punch and his speech was slurred how can they put they 2 losses on his record
I totally agree Larry Holmes knew that Ali was old ..how could he want to fight Ali. Ali always had a huge mouth Larry gets no points from me fighting an old man like that BOOOOO In Alis heydays he would KO Larry Holmes!.
It is funny how they mention in the video how he met the Beatles and did not mention his meeting with The King of Rock and Roll Elvis, who Elvis had given Ali a almost $10.000 robe that read on the back The People's Champion, it is said that even today that Ali still talks about that meeting with Elvis and sits at home and watches Elvis movies.
You are absolutely right Elvis did give him a robe. And its funny they didn't even mention it in the documentary and Ali did not even know who The Beatle were according to Robert Lipsyte.
Second time watching this. I watched it the first time when Sportscentury was listing the top 100 of all time.. Ali was #3. This is a remake of the original, probably for royalty reasons. They used almost different music for this version. I remember towards the end of the documentary, they sang Gabriel's "Don't Give Up" as a theme.
After the Rumble in the Jungle they should have given him his own TV show interviewing celebrities and politicians and famous people. Would have been the Greatest Interviews of all time.
I am glad Ali changed his racism, lets be honest he faced racism first by judeo-x-tian segregation first so he fought back and then changed like Malcolm X (RAhimahullah), I m so glad they both changed to true Islam later on. Ali changed from a time of hate into a symbol of confidence and acceptance, racism is due to weakness and insecurity! Ali however as a grown man became a great champion who backed up everything.
The words hero and greatest are bandied around way too often. But this man was the epitome of what it is to be a hero and the greatest. he was a black man born in segregation yet at death was embraced by every man whatever their creed, colour religion. The Whites loved him, The Latinos, The Chinese, The Indians, The South Americans, The Asians, The Arabs, Greeks, Italians, the Buddhists, Christians, Hindus every one not just his own black and Muslim people. Shakespeare said, some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust on them. Yet we can say, in Ali, all 3 terms apply and he used that greatness for good.
I remember Ali saying he would never wind up like the older boxers back when he was in his early prime. I will never understand why he couldn’t retire after the Foreman fight like he said he would. It was just criminal to put him in the ring as a punching bag for Larry Holmes as his reflexes were shot and everyone knew it. Ali fought enough wars at that point to be seen not as 38 but more like 60 and I blame Holmes for taking the fight as well.
Ali uplifted the African American people, Islam uplifted Mohammad Ali , the name honoured , AllahuAkbar, on the star walk of fame, the only name that don't get trampled on.. Is that a coincidence, I think not...
I try very hard not to like Larry Homes. I’m not sure if I do or not. Maybe I do. I don’t want to dislike him. Watching that fight with precious Ali, it’s hard. Holmes needed the money obviously. I liked Frazier, Foreman, Norton. And I loved loved loved Ali. Champion forever.
@@jammzy2959 I saw Joe and Ali sitting together at a fight and they were so chummy it was heart warming, it was like finally dawning on them both that they were the greatest HW boxing trilogy in history and would never be outmatched by no one. It was such a surreal moment.
@@acsmooth110 it was to sell and promote the fight. Ali was just slicker with his talk and would get under Joe's skin easier. Joe would bounce back with his logical analogies and Ali would start some other crazy bizarre antics, it was hilarious, like Ali with the little stuffed gorilla, hitting the little stuffed gorilla and saying, "it's gonna be a chiller, and a thrilla when I beat the gorilla in Manilla." Totally insane. I laugh my heart out every time because I know Joe wanted to kick his butt.
