“I have wrestled with an alligator. I done tussled with a whale. I done 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!” -The Greatest
ilian vasilev McGregor's trash talking was good until the Aldo fight, after that the only thing he says is "Look I'm rich and fuck you". That ain't poetic
NO WAY!!! Ali was genuinely funny. Mcgregor's overuse of the F-word gives today's unsophisticated fans the false impression that he has a way with words. It is a sad commentary on modern society that any attention at all is paid to two uncouth louts like Mayweather and Mcgregor.
Genuinely funny? He ruined Frazier's life, he was jerk to him despite that Frazier helped him. Conor may act like fool but after every fight he is humble and respectful.
I could be wrong, but my guess is that you are too young to actually remember the memorable days of Ali/Frazier. I believe you only know what you have read, most of which was written well after the fact. If you were old enough, you would know that Frazier "ruined" his own life by his own disrespectful actions towards Ali. All he had to do, was call him by his chosen name. Although, to be honest, I don't think Frazier ruined his life at all. I believe he had a fine life.
And if anyone were to try it now or in the future they'd just come across as being a poor imitation of The Greatest, plus to say the things he said you can't have an ounce of doubt, if he did he would have come across and corny but he definitely showed us how great he was.
Oh God extraordinary intelligent,,,every boxer of that time is respectable but Muhammad Ali have charismatic personality no one can be like him never ever ,whole Asian deeply loved him
The truth is Ali was scared out of his fucking mind. He was always scared. People think it's a sign of weakness. But fear is a natural emotion, it's how you use it to your advantage that can make you great.
ive read and heard stories,every cocky person got served,except Mohamed Ali! He said he is the greatest and remained one. And he was badass cocky.Respect
I love how this guy still moves people, and will move people forever. He grew up in a world which told him he was nothing to anybody, but he said "fuck you, world" and became something for everybody.
Ali certainly is And was the greatest ever. He was also a great man to me because he spoke his mind and gave good reasoning for his thinking. I was only a child in the 70s and didn’t know that I was watching one of the great men of all time. Wished I payed more attention to him at that time.
Every time I see modern-day boxers and MMA fighters try to trash-talk each other, I cringe. Ali's trash talk was better in every way; it was savage, creative, and most importantly, it had class. He didn't have to resort to shoving matches or childish badmouthing to get his point across. When you're a professional fighter, you either trash talk like Muhammad Ali or you keep your mouth shut and let your fists do the talking like George St Pierre does.
Lumbur Jack have a look at some of the videos of his press conferences especially pre his fight against George Foreman, he persistently racially abuses and bullies the man. Call it what you will but it was no less classy than the general bullshit boxers give out today
The most amazing thing about is that Ali truly believed every single word he said. It wasn't to hype a fight this man truly believed it. Look at his eyes when he says I'm show you how great i am, That's ultimate belief.
This is self confidence at its very best.For me the greatest line in any sports history "I am gonna show you how great I am" and he exactly did that in a style that everyone will remember this till the last day of boxing
Thats what you defines greatness ali even though everyone believes he will never beat a monster foreman who annhillate even hes greates rival but for himself the man has no fears and believe he can do the impossible thats what greatness is the man the the myth the legend the greatest nothing can compare..
When Ali says "this chumps got everybody scared. Scared of what" he sounds like he's talking to himself. Convincing himself there's nothing to be scared of.
What he really does is what every true warrior does a true gladiator knows the same way you can beat me I can beat you and I have stopped monsters before. He stopped one of the most fearsome and powerful boxers at that time Sonny Liston so he saw Foreman as another Liston to shock the world with
Your tongue speaks life & death.....what you speak & believe will come to pass ONLY IF you believe it & Ali spoke it before he did it thats why ALI will forever be the biggest Sports Icon the world will ever see
@Free Love well you see even I hate Conor after what he did with Khabib.But he was once a double divition champ.But the truth is he never earned his opportunities he was gifted those by his boyfriend Dana.And he fought and defeated fighters like Alvarez and Dustin when they were struggling in the divition.The way Dustin and Alvarez are right now Conor can never defeat them.But still his BF Dana will always claim that he was one of the greatest because he is a money fight.His fights brought a lot of money for Dana.Thats why Dana supports him otherwise Dana does not give a damn about Conor.But still he was above a decent fighter maybe not great.Because even though he lost against Nate Diaz in their first fight he fought toe to toe against Diaz in the 2nd fight.And we all know Nate is a top class fighter.So you have to say Conor is above a decent fighter.
1:15 .. ALI had extreme confidence while all the doubters are hating him and thinking he was an underdog. On that night ALI could have beaten any of the best boxers in history, he ate all those punches and KO'ed BIg George
Hassan Islam - Because Ali never let him get a clean connection especially to the head, he got off some great body shots which would have put down a normal fighter but Ali ain't normal, he's the GOAT.
Dude, thanks brilliant!, I have rewatched now the whole boxing seconds on .25 he is amazing dodging and hitting, his speed is unbelievable even at .25 still fast Ali GOAT
I get chills when he says, "I'm gonna show YOU how 'great' I am!" Just...chills.
Matt Perri ....Ditto!!
Matt Perri I
And then he did show us!
The mindset every single one of us should have
Me as well
notice how he never says ummm uhhh or anything like that..his speech is very clear
Rohan Shah Also never heard a F word from his mouth like the clowns of today
jamesali76 he said it once
Kevin McAllister I'm sure he has like all of us but At least I've never heard it from watching hundreds of his videos.
Raid tbe when he said "Ima fuck you up" to Holmes. I'm a right??
zDarkSnoBz you are correct
“I have wrestled with an alligator. I done tussled with a whale. I done 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!”
-The Greatest
FAAAST!
Last night I cut the light off in my bedroom hit the switch was in the bed before the room was dark
You really helped me man ,I couldn't put the words together
He had a clear mindset
“Im gonna show you how great i am!”
It's crazy how there hasn't been a better trash talker in 50 years
Ummm Conor Mcgregor
ilian vasilev McGregor's trash talking was good until the Aldo fight, after that the only thing he says is "Look I'm rich and fuck you". That ain't poetic

There will never, EVER, be anything like him again.
And if anyone were to try it now or in the future they'd just come across as being a poor imitation of The Greatest, plus to say the things he said you can't have an ounce of doubt, if he did he would have come across and corny but he definitely showed us how great he was.
They will be but the people must choose. Ali fought for the people that’s why the people love him.
Ali was the kind of man who could trash talk you and you're getting a philosophy lesson at the same time
For all the young kids out here, this is no trash talk. This is confidence.
Oh God extraordinary intelligent,,,every boxer of that time is respectable but Muhammad Ali have charismatic personality no one can be like him never ever ,whole Asian deeply loved him
ajaz shah ; yes. There was something about this guy that was above ordinary. He realized it in time and worked with it.
the best sentence "i hospitilazied a brick im so mean i make medizin sick" 😂bro
@Brandon Sometimes you don't want smoke but smoke wants you
Ali would be a great rapper if he lives in this generation.
It sounds like a eminem rap😂
Muhammad Ali is always a champion because he rules over the heart of every individual !!!
His mind was his greatest weapon.
Scared?... scared a what?
(Then almost to himself, as it truly wondering) scared a what?
Ali backed this with hard work and ring-craft.
The truth is Ali was scared out of his fucking mind. He was always scared. People think it's a sign of weakness. But fear is a natural emotion, it's how you use it to your advantage that can make you great.
Sam Hansen I couldn’t agree more with you that’s exactly right his mind was the best in the history of boxing 🥊.
"scared OF what" ... the "f" is not pronounced, but you still don't write "a" instead. :)

Mohammad Ali is my Hero! He was man in his word.
He whispered in my ear: "THAT ALL YOU GOT, GORGE?!"

Chills, what a bad ass...legend...one of those guys when he walks in, you stop whatever ur doing and give all respect...rip champ

I'm sorry, Ali was great, and a better trash talker than anyone since, but he wasn't classy. He didn't swear etc but he was not classy.
@@georgegreen912 why wasnt he classy?

@@georgegreen912 alright i think i get what you mean by that
What a personality.... phenomenal.... This should be the ultimate inspirational visuals for anybody underestimating themselves....

He is realy the Greatest sportsmen who ever lived. Thank you Ali!
Ali's trash talk is art ...... may he RIP ;*(
A poet and a warrior, rhyme and humor, charm and charisma… I wish he really did quit at the peak after this win ❤
“I’m so mean I make medicine sick” 💯 absolute legend
Real men don't need to use profanity to intimidate and show how great they are
I love this man. I don't normally care about people. This man was different
This is self confidence at its very best.For me the greatest line in any sports history
"I am gonna show you how great I am" and he exactly did that in a style that everyone will remember this till the last day of boxing
People will talk about Ali and his greatness till last day of earth.
Oh my God this man was something else,i am so emotional about Muhammad Ali and Mike tyson,really special people
ali is just classic! his trashtalk somehow is art!
G.O.A.T, but a humble servant of god.
What a role model
John raise ur hand. Hilarious
Ali was the older brother everyone should have had.
Im sorry, I didn't quite catch to which John was Ali refering to, mind explaining?
Back when trash talk was actually artistic words and self confidence and people can actually back their words
Ikr how far society has fallen smh
The fuck u talking about
Now it's just talk with no backing up
Greatest of all time. Period.
impossible. greatest of his time.
Wtf is the point of writing period?
Women these days always flexing off their bleeding skills smh...
Damn. You can see the dedication in his eyes. Watch his eyes when he says "I'm going to show you how great I am".
Thats what you defines greatness ali even though everyone believes he will never beat a monster foreman who annhillate even hes greates rival but for himself the man has no fears and believe he can do the impossible thats what greatness is the man the the myth the legend the greatest nothing can compare..
Its so good to see a Muhammad ali video that doesnt have any stupid music in the background
Man .... this man was really amazing... his actions used to match his talks...
When Ali says "this chumps got everybody scared. Scared of what" he sounds like he's talking to himself. Convincing himself there's nothing to be scared of.
Silvestre Stallone used this line in Rocky films
What he really does is what every true warrior does a true gladiator knows the same way you can beat me I can beat you and I have stopped monsters before.
He stopped one of the most fearsome and powerful boxers at that time Sonny Liston so he saw Foreman as another Liston to shock the world with
The one and only “The greatest” long live the King of the Ring.
When you believe in yourself nothing can stop you believe that peace
Ya'll better recognize the GOAT when you see him💯
Back when boxing was great. The glory years. Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Holmes and on and on.
AMAZING HE IS MY IDOL MY HERO MY LIFE MOTIVIATION MY EVERYTHING I LOVE HIM
The most mystery in alive forever MUHAMMAD ALI
The footwork of Ali in the 5 round was absolutely fantastic
Wow
You damn right

"God was Showing off when he created Ali"
Mike Tyson
We can see in his speech how confident he is
best athlete of all time without a doubt
Man is not just a boxing legend he got bars too
Man I just watched this and got chills!! You got George? You got george?tell the truth be a man..The greatest boxer to ever walk planet earth!!

I'm gonna show YOU how great I'm!!!. This lines sends chills down my body the way he stresses on YOU
Rope-a-dope like no other, a true warrior

This man is more than a legend.
Ali defeating Foreman was the single greatest moment in sports history.
Your tongue speaks life & death.....what you speak & believe will come to pass ONLY IF you believe it & Ali spoke it before he did it thats why ALI will forever be the biggest Sports Icon the world will ever see
But the man is in trouble, I will show you how great I am 🥺💪🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼

He tired me by taking his punches that's amazing he is not afraid too.
R.i.p. greatest of all time
I love this man !
What a great entertainer and amazing athlete
Back in the days when America was great.. country full of Icon's..
God the conviction in his voice 😍😍
How one can say such words. What a articulator!!
I hate how they compare Conor to Ali.. please stop Conor don’t even come close
You just did compare Conor to Ali :)
CONOR TO ALI?Man who the hell even does that.They need to go to the hospital.Conor is a great fighter but he will never be like Ali.😑😑😑
That great fighter 13 times tap
@Mike Hunt lol you cant invent trash tlaking, it just exists.
@Free Love well you see even I hate Conor after what he did with Khabib.But he was once a double divition champ.But the truth is he never earned his opportunities he was gifted those by his boyfriend Dana.And he fought and defeated fighters like Alvarez and Dustin when they were struggling in the divition.The way Dustin and Alvarez are right now Conor can never defeat them.But still his BF Dana will always claim that he was one of the greatest because he is a money fight.His fights brought a lot of money for Dana.Thats why Dana supports him otherwise Dana does not give a damn about Conor.But still he was above a decent fighter maybe not great.Because even though he lost against Nate Diaz in their first fight he fought toe to toe against Diaz in the 2nd fight.And we all know Nate is a top class fighter.So you have to say Conor is above a decent fighter.
I'm so glad I was alive to see Boxing in it's hey day, not the shadow it is now.
Simply The Greatest....

Usman Khan tbh Big George never got a completely clean hit on Ali . It was either gloves or arms and sometimes body shots .
Hassan Islam - Because Ali never let him get a clean connection especially to the head, he got off some great body shots which would have put down a normal fighter but Ali ain't normal, he's the GOAT.
The best moment in boxing history... incredible!
Should have finished with his interview afterwards...'I told you all!'
3 june 2016. The day he passed away..I remember I was so upset that I didn't celebrate my b'day on that day. A true inspiration to all.
What a fucking privilege and gift it is that this was televised
I’m gonna show you how great I am!’ Inspiration for my life
1:18 for the people who wanna listen to that line over and over
You are great champ
3:02 man I thought that was a hit slowed it down to 0.25x and he dodged it. Seriously, he was fast. He was fast.
Omg you are right, i always thought he got hit.
Dude, thanks brilliant!, I have rewatched now the whole boxing seconds on .25 he is amazing dodging and hitting, his speed is unbelievable even at .25 still fast Ali GOAT
Yeah even pairing that after that hook he dodges just before.. CHAMP
The greatest. Full stop.
The ima show you how great I am fucking hits hard this man was calling himself the greatest even before he was the greatest what a goat
Wow! That’s about all I can say!! Unbelievable!
Greatest !
