Muhammad Ali -"This is your Life" 

Me

Aaron

Why do people ask that question its so strange? What do you mean who’s watching this in 2024? What exactly are you trying to say or ask by that? Its kinda a stupid question unless im not understanding something

Me. I keep watching it. Sheer magic. The appearance of Joe Frazier is wonderful. Despite the fallout or two they really were good pals and had respect for each other.

Me From the belguim. I'm fan of Muhamad Ali and Smoking Joe Frazier.

True

Justifies that Ali was spiritual than physical. He was not just a boxer, he was a prophet.

Christian Banks bruh I love Ali pretty much but it is not good to call someone prophet pls

Allah ya rahma amen ya rabi

@@Dr.HJ99 yeah bro

I'm 71also. Tears in my eyes watching the show. He was my idol and the greatest of all time. RIP Ali. You will never be forgotten

Super Star of USA....MD ALI ...Heavy weight Champion in Boxing History of this World ❤.

​@@noorhr8695 I enjoy the fact that British people embraced Muhammad Ali. Sadly, Americans seldom embraced Muhammad Ali. Lead by example, or get knocked out by life.

A legend in his own right!

Lee , You are SO lucky have looked at his beautiful face , I have photographs of Muhammad but would give up a lot of things to have his autograph . My first ever crush as a young girl , one of the bravest truthful men ever and my hero for refusing to fight in the racist Yankee invasion of Vietnam when the Apartheid white American liars wouldn't allow black people to go to areas , restaurants or Clubs for Whites Only. ...even after he won a Gold Medal at the Olympics .

Lucky you

We have lost one of the best of all

@Akon Ali hispanic: am I a joke to you

Wow that's so cool , I'd kill fir that experience with the champ

I like this comment and I haven't watched the video yet

Agree with almost All these pro-Ali comments. The Greatest !

I wouldn't say only, but he will always, always, be the greatest.

You have killed me with this comment...ohh

Brings tears to my eyes.

That is so....heavy ! Thanks for that ! True Wisdom ! 👍😉

Exactly

It’s bittersweet. If that person didn’t give you the best memories, it wouldn’t hurt so much when they’re gone.

Never say never. The human spirit lives on. There will be others.

Why the emphasis on white what's wrong with it

@@dandrain3624 How am I "emphasizing" that there's anything "wrong with it?" I mention my race to drive home that everyone loved Ali no matter the color of their skin. It's in quotes because I'm not actually white, I'm pinkish tan.

Very nice interview Handsome man

Joe Frazier , ohh SMOKING JOE

Rivalrys,Ali n Frazier,Connors n McEnroe,Russell n chamberlain!great moments! In sports!

Me too. Apart from the fallout or two they really were respectful friends. After their battles how could either not admire the other?

I always loved Joe Frazier, now i love Muhammad Ali... It was love hate really, because of how he treated Joe in their rivalry. But Ali has since apologised to Joe a few times. Joe had a harder time with forgiving Ali. I believe it fueled his drinking, thus hastened his death. Joe was a sensational Boxer. Rated 8th of all time by Ring magazine. And Joe was only 5 10". With a warriors heart. Ali was the greatest of all time !!

i

That is why he was so harsh on him talking trash!

jackster1212 ...Ali, also stated, "If he was ever in a holy war he wanted Joe Frazier by his side"

It is well known now, but Smokin Joe was blind in one eye - sometimes he was fighting almost completely blind, he's an amazingly tough guy and he was hurt by some of Ali's comments...so I think it was pretty gracious of him to appear here after some of the stuff Ali said about him in the 70s.

I miss him and watching him now in tears

Its just encaptsulates what a charming man he was.

Well observed.

And much concentrate as his father!

It wasn't about her complexion he looks more like his mother and the brother looks more like their father his father and brother are just as handsome

I find this simultaneously heart warming, and existential. freaky

good one

iron mike

Obviously, life did not do you well. That's why you're hating on one who actually had one, even after he died. PEACE to the HATERS!!! But he did dislike whites, so ill give you that.

yeah that was him saying but his floating like a butterfly was mostly dancing in the ring that man did more dancing then fighting he was all talk and no fight every time I watched him I got bored he won his fight by points nobody got knocked out then I saw Mike Tyson fight now there's a fighter he knocks people out no dancing no talking just fighting.

Ken Fenris how did he hate all white people when he had many white friends

You can't really measure the connection these two great boxers had after they fought each other to a standstill in that second fight. They went through something together that night that no mere mortal could ever understand.

In the ring Joe Frazier whop Muhammad Ali good and Joe won. Outside the stage tho, Ali went on his verbal abuse to Joe. But Privately they are good friend, Joe even lending him money during Ali’s low point after being banned from 🥊. Friendship aside, in the ring they are two sportsmen, fighting for the title whopping each other and knocking one another, blows after blows.

@@broerymarantika853 actually Joe spent a month in the hospital and that was a controversial decision. He did not whoop ali good. But he won the decision.

@MUFC lol

@@broerymarantika853 Frazier did NOT like Ali at all in the beginning, and for years later. I remember, because I was around to see it. Frazier walked off the Dick Cavett show in the early 70s, enraged at Ali's treatment of him before a national TV audience. Maybe in later years they got closer, but NOT while they were both competing. Frazier always got the shitty end of the stick. What an insult to Joe when Philly had the nerve to erect a statue of a fighter who never existed, but no statue of Joe. If Joe was alive, who could blame him if he told Philly to stick the statue up their ASS!!

I do,

mememememememe

Me. Brings tears to my eyes

Meeeeeee.

Great men have always big hearts

Muhammad Ali was a remarkable man, well spoken, handsome, smart, charming, articulate, humble and funny, I absolutely love this man.

Ali's treatment of Joe casts a permanent shadow on his brilliance. Joe was such a gentleman, a truly beautiful person.

We’ve had some laid back champions like Lennox, some powerful champions like deontay, Tyson, foreman and Frazier some charismatic/funny champions like fury and we’ve had some dominate champions like Klitschko and Larry Holmes but none of these compare to the goat which is Muhammad Ali.

No one !

it sure was

Asalieri2 I think there was kind of a Lennon-Mccartney relationship dynamic going on between them.

Matt M Yea, that is a good way of summing up their relationship.

+Asalieri2 No, they were not great friends at all. Initially, when Ali was in exile, they might have been friendly and mostly on Joe's part, but Ali destroyed all that by taunting and ridiculing Joe. Frazier wasn't blessed with the gift of the gab that Ali had, and Mohammed played on that big style. Their fights were hard, bitter, and eventually, career ending for them both. One massive shame about Ali's career is how he treated Frazier. He made him out to be an uncle tom, and basically made his life hell. The saddest thing about it all was when years later Joe revealed his ringtone, a song he sang himself about causing Ali's parkinson's disease and how his punches were the cause of it. Ali treated Frazier appallingly ... it's why he can't believe he appeared in this tribute.

+Asalieri2 Yeah i feel like stories about joe hating ali to old age was super exaggerated by the media

Boxing soul mates haha

The Greatest of All Time!!

Great legend of boxing.

Ali was never the greatest, he was defeated by 5 different opponents. All that greatest BS started after he defeated Liston and was heard in the shower yelling over and over, "I "is" the greatest." And from there the willfully ignorant and easily duped promoted it. On the other hand what he truly was is the greatest mouth.

@John Harris ! Oh really ! I see that u was a hater!

@@johnharris8191 he went on to beat 3 of those who bet him in rematches, he was only beat and didn't beat back untill he was 38. He had the greatest personality I agree, he is only one of two people to win the ring magazine belt twice, the other was tyson fury.

Natalie Bookman hi

Hahaha legend RIP brother

He was welcomed and adored in great Britain and right across the UK. He was the greatest.

True words

He was only declining physically.

I wish, have you seen his interview to become World Heavyweight champion for the 4th time?? This episode is BEFORE the Larry Holmes fight and the decline is obvious, his response is late to everything being projected to him

I saw him, during that period, going to a Thrifty drug store in L.A. He saw my little daughter and me and stepped toward us and lifted her up over his head. It made my day. Yes, he was struggling but he was so graceful. But he was capable of driving his brown Rolls convertible unassisted.

Ali as great as he was, was allowed to act like a jackass at times and get away with it. Jim Brown,Wilt, and Elgin Baylor would have been villified if they said I'm the Greatest, and opponents were Bums.

@@vernpascal1531 The jack ass part was actually scripted. He was a pro wrestling fan early on and attended an event after meeting Gorgeous George if I remember right. He watch how GG played the villain & noticed the crowds reaction to it. He brought it to the boxing world after that. Smart dude

Brilliant comedic brain he had, that was hilarious 😁😁

Imagine that. A stolen bicycle gave the world Muhammad Ali. That bike was never found. Makes you wonder if something supernatural was at work.
