@I just got TANNED Betcha I know a hell of a lot more than you, and that you were'nt even a sp*nk-bubble, when l watched Ali enter the fray after his Olympic glory. Ali was one of the fastest and best offensive Heavyweights that ever held the coveted title, no doubt. He was also definetely the most high profile fighter I ever seen, with such a poor defence. When fighters expend as much energy as Ali did on the front foot, it was and still is, imperative that they defend themselves properly when under attack themselves. Smothering opponents, even though it is ugly to watch, is better than taking all of the head shots Young Cassius/ Ali took throughout his long career. Go and watch heavyweight boxings first African/American champ, the great Jack Johnson to see how it should be done. No heavyweight champ embodied and epitomised the Queensbury rules better than this fantastic fighter, who shook up white society, without ever mentioning religion, far greater than Ali could have ever wished to do........ even with the 1970's media circus' he embraced, giving him countless opportunities to do so!
Charles, when I read your comment, my heart skipped a beat! I don't know why! I live in Ireland, so many miles away from you, Vietnam & my idol Muhammed Ali, whom I have adored since I was very little (4 yrs old, I'm now 49) but for a soldier who lived through such a war to write a comment like it, has to be a person I really could admire & would like to know! Your post really has touched me in a very strong positive way! Many Thanks!
@@jennymullen4950 What about us dudes who were stuck out there Irish lady......Ali was a bum and we played darts against his poster. I'm black and did what was expected of me because I'm an American. Why did'nt Clay/Ali just move full time to Mecca land and shut up. Held his hard working brothers back for decades. After Malcolm and MLK's assasinations, all we listened to was this thick negro whose views did'nt represent the decent hard-working black man. Ali was a nasty piece of work Jenny lady ☻

Its a great tragedy this man’s health started decreasing in his 30’s, i really would have loved to see him in old age talking like this at sports events and boxing. We missed out on so much on him. May he rest in peace he is the greatest.
There something just amazing about him he knew who he was and made no apologies and stuck to his beliefs....x x x x x x 💓💛 amazing man ..x x love from Ireland💖💜💚💔x x x x
There's a sweet scene between Ali and Henry Cooper in this video. Scroll to the 5:44 mark and begin there. Between the 5:44 and 6:45 marks, the interaction between Ali and Cooper is so delightful. And I love the way Ali compliments Cooper so endearingly.
Me and my mate was talking the other day and I said to him who's the best person you have ever met and spoke to and he said when he met Mohammed Ail and shock his hand .
Did'nt stop him getting punchy though did it? Ali was the dope on the rope, but you all can't admit it because you all got sucked in after the big fix in 1964 against Sonny 😉
He worries of people getting crush squeezed in his welcoming croud he is an angle may ALLAH bless his bietiful soul high ranks in janna the paradise ameen
A beautiful book to read or dip in & out of as the need arises! We all know Muhammad for his 'job' but to really get an honest insight into the man & why he is still 'the greatest ' you have to learn about his beliefs, his loves & his convictions but most of all his humility outside of his 'workplace ! A gorgeous looking man, with a soul that's hidden by his obvious talents but comes to the fore once he clocks off from the job! Rest peacefully Champ! X
@@jennymullen4950 He won the title in the greatest fix of the 20th century against Sonny. Kenny Norton then went on to pummel him 3 times......l cried along with my late Daddy when Ken was deprived in the rubber in 76. You people know Jack-sh*t
Do you not mean "slur" so well. He is punched up to f**k. I never liked the rascist bastard anyhow. He even called Smokin Joe, Kenny Norton and Big George among others, Uncle Toms. F**k him..... you are all butt-kissers 😍😘
@@mashtali1 He was a part of the cult that was, and still is The United Nation of Islam. Do not patronise me brother, because I never got sucked into the fake prophets vacuum like daft-arse Muhammad. Is that his real name 🤔
@@asifiqbal3101At least I'm not a deluded butt-kisser like most of you lot on here. Ali was a rascist who advocated racial seperation, and was'nt half as clever as his one-time friend Malcolm Little (aka X and Shabbazz). Malcolm eventually seen the light, and had all of them phoneys sussed!
I love Henry Cooper. Always very humble and gracious with Ali even though one could argue that he got a raw deal during that fight. Dundee bought Ali an extra minute or two to recover by pulling on that tear in Ali’s glove. Henry never complained though.
Anyone who says Ali wasn't intelligent knows nothing about him. Don't be fooled by the slurring voice, which had started heralding his imending brain dmaage, even in 1974. But he was extremely intelligent.
@@charisparrott6177 Oh but I did box and had a rather good amateur career. Ali suffered from an illness called Dementia Pugilistica, usually caused by taking too many unnecessary punches. Whenever he got dropped(Cooper, Frazier and Wepner for example) it happened when he was'nt defending himself properly. The three Norton fights(he should have lost all three), the Frazier trilogy and the Holmes debacle eventually sealed his fate. He also took a pummelling in Ziarè before Big George ran out of gas
@Mandinko23 Yeah he wasnt really arrogant,he just had total belief in his abilities and he also was brutally honest which could off as him being nasty but he wasnt,Very intelligent guy.
Bollocks. Boxing was around long before this braggart arrived..... and has been going strong ever since Larry Holmes scrambled his rambling mind for good!
@@ezirulez4eva175 The other way around. Marciano and Young Tyson would have took the disco-dancer out in 4 rounds and Joe Louis would have took him back to school!
funny: in george foreman " theres not a gas station around nowhere" funny when did you realize you were the greatest " lets see when was i born 42?" the guy was the greatest with funny stuff too.
TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH. Ali was a great boxer and a charismatic figure. But his racial views were toxic. He believed in segregation and opposed miscegenation at a time when mixed race couples faced real discrimination. He was an outspoken member of the racist Nation of Islam. Excuses are made for Ali's racism - 'it was the context of the time, he was a black man in America etc' - but why did other prominent black fighters not also spout out the same divisive race-baiting? But try telling these truths and you get shouted down by those who would prefer blind idolatry to objective and empirical truths. Parkinson was a great interviewer and I am pleased he put Ali on the spot with some of this stuff.
You get hit as much as this man, cause your health going to fail early on,, he was a clever man but he never realised he was getting hit, or he couldn’t admit it, he says I haven’t been hit hard yet, he was hit hard lots of times, he was hit hard that no one else could have got up from, that’s what buggered him,, look at his fight record next to Tyson and Lewis, Ali had god knows how many more longer hard fights then them, didn’t have a big punch,, just lots of them.
You are spot on brother. He took far too much punishment. Even the judges started to feel sorry for him, especially against Ken Norton. He is definitely not the Greatest.......but he was quite good at Northern Soul inside the ring apron 😁
Won the title on a fix against Sonny for starters, well beaten by Smokin Joe in the Garden, got whupped off Kenny Norton 3 times and embarrassed himself against Larry Holmes. Truly the Greatest!
Most over-rated boxer l ever saw. Built up on fixes by the United Nation of Islam. He could'nt box eggs, either as young Cassius or old Ali. Norton smashed him up 3 times and Marciano, young Tyson and the pre-fix Sonny would have gobbled him up for breakfast!

Who are you talking about......Ali 😗🤔??
