I wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale; handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick; I'm so mean I make medicine sick R.I.P Muhammad Ali we love you
😂👏👏
We love winners.
Yes, since winning is the literal Prize.....A Prized Winnings
I wrestled with an alligator I done tussled with a whale handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail only last week I murder a rock hospitalized a brick I’m so mean I make medicine sick
khan miester like some desial motor in the arena locker room is thin
"I'm so mean I make medicine sick" bruh 🔥😭
Donte’ Harris greatest line of all time
bad. dude.
He invented bars
this was made before any rap
@@Phantom20fo Before any rap? This speech was 1974. DJ Kool Herc and Coke La Rock were making Hip Hop in the South Bronx in 1973. And rap existed before that in the form of toasting at Jamaican sound system parties. But Ali's bars definitely helped underground Hip Hop to grow in the 70s.
Talked a lot of smack....BUT backed it up like a warrior!....Rest in piece champ!
a homeric hero, a sayer of words and doer of deeds.
*peace
Hector Ortiz back when talking smack wasn't about using cuss words and racial gestures.
Hector Ortiz Unlike Conor Mctapper
@@kennethbowers2897 yup. Ali was one of the best at it. Although there were a few times Ali used racial gestures, like when he said "you're an uncle tom" just as one example

Who else is on a Muhammad Ali clip spree
I've been on this spree for a week now and I cannot stop
trust me each time you see something new and interesting.
I am , I always loved his funny poems and they inspire me to this day .
***** watch his movie called the 'greatest'. Also Will smith made another film called 'Ali' about him.
holy shot dude hahahaha I AM..BEEN DOWNLOADING THE WHOLE DAY..seeing this comment made me laugh but happy
I remember being a little kid listening to this and then I would keep trying to turn off my light and jump in my bed before the room was dark 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No way 😂😂 the things we did when we were kids.
We all did it. I was always disappointed that I couldnt
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂u were a dense kid
It's just sad init? 😂

Whenever you are demotivated or depressed listen to this man.
Amen even the rasicts loved Ali he made you think different in life and made you feel strong when you were weak rip Ali the greatest athlete ever
I listen to this every morning when I don’t want to get out of bed for work
I love this speech. It motivates me every time I hear it.
It manifested itself into reality when Ali, to the surprise of the world, knocked out George Foreman. Its impact is therefore superior.
I would rather listen to this in the gym than any song.
He is very good thats is bad
Yeah I watch this all the time too push me too be great and I won’t stop
I always think of this response in my mind anytime someone tries to put me down.
"Last night i cut the light off in my bedroom hit the switch and was in the bed before the room was dark"😂😂😂👌
Fast

FAST! LIKE LIGHTNING! LIKE A COBRA STRIKE! LIKE A BULLET!
Me when I turn off the downstairs light and run upstairs
My man didn't know the laws vissticks
What does it mean ?
This man had zero respect for the laws of physics lol
Bruh😂
Yes!!! 😁😁😂😂🤣🤣
😂😂😂None whatsoever!
He grabbed the law of physics and beat it to a pulp.
@@hido... Truly.
Not just a boxer, poet, funny man, humanitarian but also a man who stayed true to himself and his principles and payed the price too.... RIP Ali.

@@benson6553 that’s where I heard it too
@@benson6553 those inspirational YT shorts n stuff have em
Same
I just started to learn a little more about him. Does he always speak in poetry?! It’s absolutely amazing!
Pretty much!
He has so many amazing quotes, a wise man, he was
He's flow with words are almost as quick as he's fists.
He was actually a poet, funny enough, but yes, he spoke like that a lot
He was a poet as well
0:52 probably my favourite quote of all time
Innit
"I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick!" is good too. Also "I done handcuffed lightning threw thunder in jail!"
I could listen to him talk all day. His delivery is poetic, comedic, and brilliant. RIP GOAT
My father was your biggest fan. I was a small child. We used to listen to your fight with monsters live on the radio at 4 am due to the 7-hour time difference between Turkey and America. Sometimes my father would go to the neighboring house and listen to your fights on the radio, he wouldn't take me with him. I used to pray in my bed for you to win. I was 7 years old in 1974.
Wow.
“hospitalized a brick ; i’m so mean I make medicine sick” this line gives me chills!!!
The spark in the man's eyes when he utters the words at the end. He's no longer joking, he believes it down to the core of his soul. Imma show you how great I am. Got chills.
he did not blink!
I got chills too
Brilliant
Yes it gives chills. But if you had watched the When we were Kings documentary you would know how terrified Ali was at that particular moment.
@@dolphin082 Further Highlights Ali’s Bravery
the fact that his entire speech was normal, but when he said "I'mma show you, how great I am" it gave this energy and his voice echoed, that's how you can tell how powerful that man was.
Yes and a lot of men say that but fail, he said it and he did it, when everyone thought he was going to lose, that's what makes him so special.
He was joking, but was serious
This speech was mainly directed at his snake in the grass promoter, Don King.. Ali knew Don King was trying to set him up for failure and was playing both sides.. Don King thought Undefeated Primed Forman would destroy a mid 30 Ali and Ali caught wind of this.. He let them know what was really going to happen while they all just laughed, Not taking him seriously.. "I'm gonna show YOU how GREAT I AM.."
"Ali knew King was deep in Foreman's camp and that the champion retaining was desired by the promoter as much as it was expected."
Yep and u feel it in u when he says it. That masculine feeling
@@mikkey246truest lmao,he always was funny at the same time being serious
I was born in 95 and it was my father who told me about him as this guy who's the best in the world. My father used to say that He's the most electrifying personality you can ever imagine and you're lucky to be born in a time where he's alive. He was the reason I am such a fan of the greatest. I lost my father this year. And we all lost the greatest as well. I really looked up to both of them. My father was my hero and Ali was the champ. Every time I watch these videos, it really hits me right in the feels. May Allah bless them both in the afterlife.
Sarfraz Yezdani Ameen brother
Sarfraz Yezdani ameen
Ameen!!!
Sarfraz Yezdani oh dear it means yr father was loyal to allah he praised Ali, he deserves ,,,same here can't tell you how great this man I fallen in love of champ ,dear you where from
ajaz shah I am from India, sir.
Makes a grown man teary eyed watching Ali... what a great man
The fact that no one has been able to replicate this level of trash talk and wittiness since makes you really think how special this man was
This is confidence, this is the confidence people need. You can tell that at that moment, you could put anyone in the world and he will beat them. Incredible, "I'll show you how great I am". That's just incredible, human, Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest humans to have ever lived, forget him being a boxer. He was really intelligent. Rest In Peace, Champ.
Ryder Washington ali is the most inspiring person in the world, a role model, the greatest, no one has the confidence, intelligence that ali had when he spoke, he could convince you of anything he wanted. such a way of expresing. rest in peace champ
Ryder Washington good words brother
Amen to that !!!
Funny thing is he said himself he was never that confident, he was trying to convince himself as much as anyone else. He still went out there and backed it all up, I think that sends a greater message.. It's okay to be scared, just don't give up and you can do anything.
Also he was talking to Don King who robbed him and tyson.
Don was a smart man but he promoted this fight vs forman and had a million on Ali to lose.

THE GOAT
Wrong. Not the greatest. Rocky is 49-0. He is the greatest. Goat
@@mohsinesbiti3860wrong. Not the goat. Plus never lost a fight. 49-0. Rocky is the goat.
@@timnik2902 then Money Mayweather is the GOAT
@@OnyxKev lol, you sound dumb. Fighting heavyweights with an undefeated record at 49-0 is beyond far better than fighting at Mayweather's weight which makes Rocky the goat. Rocky would have gone further hadn't he died early

"i once wrote a poem that says that friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought nor sold; but it's value is far greater than a mountain made of gold. for gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear, and in times of trouble; it is powerless to cheer. gold, it has no ears to listen, no heart to understand. it cannot bring you comfort or bring you out a helping hand. so, when you ask god for a gift, be THANKFUL if he sends not diamonds, pearls, or riches; but the love of real, *true* friends" never though i could agree with someone great enough that even they can admit that money isn't everything. Ali was truly the greatest of all times!
I just love it when he embraces being the underdog and he goes, "I know you got him, I know you got him picked!"
For sure, and the guy he's talking to is the fight's promoter Don King, who wanted Foreman to win because he saw a chance to make further money promoting future fights with Foreman as champion.
After what Foreman had done to Frazier and Norton in his 2 preceding fights, people were afraid that Ali was going to get badly beaten, if not killed, in Zaire. Ali had other ideas
😄
Ali had bars for days!!. Worlds first freestyler
ikr right lol
He actually contributed at least a little in the hip hop culture, being the most famous black man on the planet and riming, there's a documentary where there's a rapper who talks about the topic
Gannicus TV That’s the truth
@@SmokinJoe1098 this guy said “riming” lmao it’s rhyming you twat
@@FalseHoodx I sense an insecure fuck in the reply section
"I'm so mean I make medicine sick" Ali was most certainly a BAAAAD MAN!!!!
The look he has when he says “I’m gonna show you how great I am” is the face of a champion. All the way through the speech he was clowning and then just for that instant, the mask slips. That is truly the ice cold stare of a champion. No anger, no emotion, just certainty.
Something about that “Imma show you how great I am” that never fails to give me chills
But he was never able to show how great he was to rocky. Because rocky beat him and will forever be the goat. 49-0.
That’s not called being cocky, that’s called a legend.
It sounds nice to hear & interpret his words as just words, Ali always had a way with them but the true beauty & brilliance of this speech is within it's context. That man that Ali looked over to to speak those words "I'mma show you how great I am." meant something much more bc the guy actually had Foreman picked. He betted on Foreman & he was one of the guys responsible for making the fight happen! Ali was a great, great man & I don't think there are many people who have the confidence to look over & tell their detractors that they know that they're not expected to will, but go as far as to guarantee the victory. Rest in Paradise Champ.
Mub33b yes I agree..........may Allah bless Muhammad Ali and Grant him Paradise ....rip champ 1942 - 2016
It wasn't just that he was great at talking shit, he could back it up.
Mub33b I dunno bro, Connor McGregor is a pretty big smack talker.
Dildozer Did You Really Waste Neurons In Your Brain To Tell Your Fingers To Type That Blasphemy? Connor Should Never Be Mentioned Within The Same Day As Ali Let Alone A Comparison On Any Aspect
Totally right. And not only that after the match Muhammad Ali tells to that monster's face to FUCK OFF!!! 😀😀😀

He has such a powerful voice.
Yes very Ali was one of a kind his voice was like a lion roaring I can't explain but I can listen to him talk about anything just a very great man we miss you Ali 😪
Full of skill, charisma and confidence. Talked it and walked it. RIP Muhammad Ali.

Im cryin after hearin he said "I'll Show You How Great I Am"
I once saw a comment saying "If he didn't become a boxer, he would have been a poet. This man was born for greatness.". So true. This would make an amazing poem.
"I am gonna show you how great i am" this is perhaps the greatest line in the history of sports
This man will live on for hundreds of years. Other legends names will fade with time,but Ali will live on. He was a one off,and I am very grateful to God I`m alive in this era. RIP Ali
Legends never die
Amen to that !!!
The undisputed king of trash talking. Mayweather, Macgregor, and every single other self-absorbed idiot in professional fighting these days has absolutely nothing on The Greatest.
It's enough to call him the greatest. No need to call the others idiots.
The whole points of trash talking is pretending to be a self absorbed idiot hahaha. Ali inspired all the future generations of fighters in thst and so many other aspects.
@@Viking_Raven The thing is, with Ali it was obvious that he was playing a character, and he made sure that everything he said was witty and clever. Fighters nowadays like Conor MacGregor just spew vicious, unintelligent insults and make no indication that it's not who they really are.
Grand Admiral Tarken, eh?
@@furioussherman7265 Exactly trash talking with wit and clever remarks fare much better than thinly veiled insults.
I cannot listen to this enough. Quite literally. I could have this playin’ on a loop in my headphones 24/7/365.
Exceptionally motivating and his ad lib words are equally as impressive.
The genius of this man was out of this world. Even without actually being the greatest boxer, the guy was easily the most influential boxer outside the ring. What a smart and charismatic human being. On and off the ring he is the greatest. Really what a guy.
“I will show you how great I am” gives me chills
This man was the absolute embodiment of confidence. RIP Ali, one of the greatest of all time.
Greatest Ali
N.o 1
@@joledenilson2409you must be retarted. The greatest is rocky. He beat ali. Plus has no losses. 49-0. Rocky is the greatest of all time. Number 1
I practiced repeating this all the way down to the tempo and tone years ago. I thought I'd forgot it but after coming the other day to help an accountant with his computer we sat down and just started talking boxing. We talked Ali briefly, then onto Hearns, Duran, Haglar, Sugar Ray, the Mayweathers, generally the most well known but we ended up up back to Ali. He talked about how he got to meet him just briefly and Ali picked him out in a crowd and shook his hand and how happy he was. I mentioned one of my fav things about him was actually the way he talked and how this was one of my favorite moments of him. I just gave it my best and recitted this whole thing and dude was cracking up at the end of every sentence. Alligator,whale, lighting, thunder, stone, medicine. We both had to get back to our own jobs but it was so fun talking about boxing and Ali.
His self belief and confidence are out of this world. Happy 80th birthday champ ; you will never be forgotten.
I always get goosebumps when he says „Imma show you how great I am“. Also because of the echo it sounds like the whole world was quiet at that moment.
And not once did he ever deign to use the F word. Not in pain after a fight, not during an interview, while trash talking, nothing. Manners and class exudes. RIP Champ
Muhammed Suleman, Muhammad Ali is my idol, but trash talking is not good manners, not that he should have good manners
@@prestonnoneya3767 trash talkings is part of the fight, part of the competition
Zafir Uzoma, I know, but he was claiming Muhammad had good manners and he didn’t.
He had an extensive vocabulary and didn’t have the need to use any curse words.
What about the time he called someone an "uncle Tom"
That's what a real master of trash talking looks like, he makes you doubt yourself with his confidence and he doesnt need to use insults, vulgar language or personal attacks to beat you mentally.
"I wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale; handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail. that's bad. only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick; I'm so mean I make medicine sick."
Greatest rap of all time
Chills everytime
Underrated line: "I done handcuffed lightning ⚡, throw THUNDER IN JAIL!"
Wish I could like this video a MILLION TIMES
the greatest to ever do it. Respect Ali
The best public speech ive ever heard! So confident! RIP ALI!
" I hate every minute of training , but I said , suffer now and live the rest life as a Champion " -

"Imma show you how great I am"
Just one word: goosebumps.
Corona: I kick ass!
Ali: hold my lightning.
"I know u got him, I know u got him picked, but the mans in trouble!!! Imma show you how great I am"!!! Ali had the upmost confidence in his ability, true inspiration, Im blessed to even be watching this
Happy 75th birthday, Muhammad. We love you and we miss you, our champ. Rest in peace!
The first of his kind. Nobody talked trash like he did and backed it up #GOAT
I love this man, Muhammad Ali The GOAT.
Rest in peace! He had something great about him, the way he spoke, the confidence, the rhymes, the jokes, the the whole package! This man is the stuff you read in the books, the wisdom of the ancients, the athletic abilities of mythical figures, the high spirits of a guru, a joker and a comedian... Muhammad Ali is a super hero, except that he lived among us!
S M B Nice comment
S M B and above all he feared God. He was a Muslim. Not all that atheistic arrogance you get from a lot of celebrities nowadays.
Hundreds of years from now people will look back at these videos. Ali is legendary
I cried for this man.. rip ali
I would have given anything to meet this man when he was alive …. We are less without him.
That quote makes me believe i can do anything. That belief! It's so powerful!!
"I'm so mean I make medicine sick" 😂💜
Greatest of all times
He's not the greatest of all times. Rocky is. Rocky beat him, plus has no losses. 49-0.
Rocky and Ali never fought each other
You have to remind yourself with Ali that this isn’t a movie lmao. He had so much charisma u could’ve sworn this was a movie clip.. 🐐
Perhaps he was the only one who could say that "i'll show you how great i am."
Not only did he talk the talk, he fought the fight. Nothing but respect for this man. 🙌
Up there with the greatest speeches of all time. Confidence. Truth. Metaphors. Knowledge. Wisdom. Conviction. Greatness.
I'll show you how great I am!!
love you Muhammad Ali! you've been a hero of mine since I was a kid in Elementary, the 1st book I ever read was on you, and I've been fascinated and inspired by you're greatness ever since (: A life well lived. rest with the Angel's now Champ......

Goderer and Goatdal closing in
I like how Muhammad Ali talks, he is so quick witted. He rhymes when he speaks
He was not arrogant,what he haf wad confidents in him self. He believe in him self,ant thats why he is a champ. You see in life some let others intimidates them by telling them they are not good enough to achieves anything good in life. Ali wad bigger that what people see or think of him. He went out in the world and prove it,thats why I love him. Thank you champ, r.i.p!
"Am gonna show you how great i am" well ofcourse every man would have got that in their mind even once in a lifetime but most of us didn't showed it to the world. MUHAMMAD ALI showed to the world how great he is ❤🥊🐐
It really shows, how that if someone today said this, we'd have the same reaction, yet this Great said this decades ago, truly a different breed of man.
Humorous, poetic, athletic, brilliant, passion my friends. The power of the heart knows no bounds. Here is a human being hitting on all cylinders. I just want go inside his brain and replace my self-talk with his. It's amazing to be this confident. No self-pity, no fear, just a poetic warrior. Your spirit will live on and you have changed my perception and my life.
George smiling, just in awe of him. Nobody could doubt Ali
He’s so quick witted you never hear him stutter and everything he said was gold
mans a god impeccable mind impeccable body impeccable heart
Every year, I'm coming across this video to motivate myself. I can reach everything I want. Ali was and is the greatest person that ever lived. 💪👊
I'm going to show you how great I am - Muhammad Ali
I will never forget this line for my whole life
"I'mma show you! How great I am!" and that, he did.
I love this so much because EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE thought George Foreman was going to kill Ali in the ring.. Ali was already in his 30s and George was still in his Prime and Undefeated.. He was KOing Boxers within the first few rounds at that.
"All you chumps are gonna bow when I whoop him! All of ya! I know ya got him, I know ya got him picked.. But the man's in trouble.. Im gonna show YOU how great I AM!"
I get chills all over when he talks, doesn't matter what
Every once in a while I like coming back to this. So much charisma oozing out of him. Will sir, you did show me how great you were. RIP
If you are depressed watch this IAM gona show you how great iam my Hero may ALLAH grant him the highest paradise
