Reading his body language for a split second I think he was totally confused emotionally looking his initial reaction that he was about to cry? Can anyone else see it? It happens at 3:19. His question didn't really make sense huh? Do you guys think he meant to say something like you always say your going to win instead of saying I think I'm going to win!
He wasn't just a little kind, he was one of the most friendly humanitarion ex athlete that's ever existed. Countless stories of things he's done. Check out the video of him saving the suicide guy off a building in Los Angeles I believe.
Curious George yep, ibsaw that video several years ago. Unbelievable. What a man! The Almighty has certainly blessed him. Allah swt says in the Glorious Qur'an., "He who has saved a life, it is as if he has saved all of mankind."
@@lynnecarnivale5085 That's not a great brother, that's a cuckold brother. There's a huge difference. No man should be letting his sister seeing other strangers!
Years ago my friends mother was on a plane from NY to Europe. She got involved in a conversation with the man next to her, it was quite a while before she realized it was Ali. She said he was polite, engaging, interesting, and very humble and one of the nicest people she had ever met. What surprised her was that he wasn't at all like the bragging persona he portrayed to the media. She, who couldn't stand boxing, became a big fan of his.
Where you born last week? this is old news, about 36 years ago news. Read a book, or watch the original broadcast of the fight. You can hear him yelling Im gonna fuck you up. Im gonna kick your ass etc
He was not a smart kid, he was just a normal kid at the time ! Kids were not Smarter then today's kids , that's not a case ! Today's kids are simply retarded ( not all but most of them ) a normal person always seem to be smart to compare a retarded one !
I'm the last kid and it was just terifinh and exhilarating to see him cone in that room and I was scared to death but I tried to keep my thoughts but it was almost impossible. We all got an autographed boxing glove and it's still one of my most cherished possessions.
@@MikeSmith-cn6ub dude that’s awesome! Man he really had fun with you!! Had to just watch it again and got a big smile on my face! 😂 what a champ he was!
@@MikeSmith-cn6ub Yes i can see you where a bit terrified. But you have met one of the most unique person in planet. And keep remember, he was against U.S invasion of other nation. That is one big reason why he is the greatest. Now every American, is telling the U.S terrorist army "Thank you for your service" for invading ither countries!
@@MJPamuru20 Yea they came to school with cameras and did you know we were on a TV show called candid camera it was a shoe that did stuff like that of course we were told that told they were doing a small tv show about how kids thought about celebrities of corse they didn't tell us that there was one there they just asked what we thought about him and if we liked him or didn't and what we thought about him and I was going to say I thought Chuck Wepner I believe it was that went the distance and I thought Chuck actually won of course a kid doesn't know. I mean now I know Ali won but back then I just seen wepner go the distance and thought he won because I didn't know hoemw to score boxing of course at that age no one did I just thought wepner won and i was going to say that to the camera guy but then Ali showed up and I couldn't say it to his face i was scared he'd make me look like he made wepner and I didn't want that. But I took it as cool as a cucumber and so did he and I still have the autographed glove he gave all of us who were in the TV show part. And I belive after that he spoke for a few minutes in the auditorium and it is a cherished memory ill keep as long as I'm alive.
And everything changed when the police officers attacked. Only Ali, the master of Boxing could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished.
Hahaa omg that last kid tho....he was handling himself so well, trying to seem old and mature, and in the end Muhammed Ali just swooped him up like the young child he is. Wow...very cool moment.
Love how the last kid held a full on discussion with Ali at the end. And the kid who immediately started talking about his sister, and how much she loves Ali...That was sweet! How Ali just picked up the kid at the end and carried him away lol
I'll never forget seeing him standing outside the Palmer House in Chicago in 1968 or 69. Tall, handsome, reserved, he was signing autographs and I got one. I'll always treasure it.
All of these boys are 54 years old today (2019). No matter how old they get, I'm positive they'll never forget meeting the heavyweight champion of the world.
You think ? Really ? Would have thought they'd forgotten all about it by now ! Are you a simpleton ? You know, find it difficult to understand things ? All the best.
Kids in the 70's were so much more well spoken and serious than today. Today every kid would just cry and scream and have no questions to ask. Immaturity is a problem in our society that nobody acknowledges but had detrimented our ability to function as a society.
He was a reflection of it. To contribute to something would mean you are a perpetrator without being a victim of it. We're all victims of this, even me who speaks out against it. But still, the media needs to promote more maturity to balance immaturity and maturity.
Bro, you can say that again. Here in S.Africa you have a parliament where who so ever shouts the most wins the day. Worse still politics all over the world has gone so personal its like girls argument in a school yard
Ali was so cool. He did not have to do that show, he did not have to do all kind of stuff and spend his time, but he did. He was always ready for jokes, always found time for fun. He really was THE GREATEST.
muhammad ali is without a doubt a very charismatic man who ever lived. I can tell in that classroom everyone would be able to feel the aura of a Muhammad Ali. Full of energy.
Wow. I came here by coincidence, and I think this is probably the most perfect tribute to Muhammad AlI. This clip - with kids who are terrific, is probably THE BEST 'tribute' to the amazing AlI - a great showman, a great champ, and a man with a big heart. Thanks, so much, for this. Rest in peace, you deserve it, Mr. AlI.
The white kid with the shaggy blonde hair at the end was so composed he looked like a seasoned interviewer that had been there and done that all before, the kid wasn't fazed at all even when he was in his face. Kid said "I'm here to do a job and the job I will do 😂😂😂
That was awesome. First kids stunned look and last kid still holding his nerve with the champ in his face was priceless. Also shout out to the you wanna meet my sister kid lol. God bless your kind soul Muhammad Ali 1942-2016
Lol The kid was complimenting Ali trying to say it is good to be confident rather than be unsure of oneself, overly critical of oneself, and he got scared, worried that Ali did not understand what he meant to say. That is funny.

Boxing has never been the same without him. He was great in all aspects.
Anybody who ever had any doubt, about how special Ali was, I wish you could have the experience of seeing him interact with children. Not on television, but in real life, on the street. He could always put a frightened child at ease. But the most amazing thing he could do, on a regular basis, was make a baby who had been crying incessantly, immediately stop when he approached that baby. It was really something to behold. And I believe it was something not of this earth. Gods, all of them, bless Muhamed Ali.
Jonathan Ricardo I pull facts outta my ass too. Unfortunately, jonathon Ricardo has died after a mafia mobbed his house and he refused to give up his cocaine stash
I met him the spring of 87! I was 7 with my aunt. He was living 5blocks from us at the time(I didn’t know this til years later). This was the east side of Chicago. Will never forget that!
Muhammad was a wonderful man. So much charisma.....just a wonderful human being.... I'm so thankful we had him in our lives ...he made you feel you could do anything....so gifted..so brilliant...
Even 42 years later, I'm sure all of those kids remember meeting the champ back in 1974.
juicer67 ya really they must be feeling Soo good to watch it
Yes. I wished they make a television show showing the kids.
A TIMELESS CLASSIC.!!!!!!!!!
Ali kill the kids later
I would to see a interview of those kids today and how they felt meeting the champ.
Respect to the last kid, he actually held a intelligent discussion and stood his own ground, even Ali was impressed.
@@dinpapa8347 😂
ja men
DIn papa lol
DIn papa 😂😂
And that kid became Ali's press manager. I like to think.
Wow. Kudos to the last kid. Even though Ali was all up in his face, he kept his calm and continued talking. Like a boss.
ali was so impressed he took that kid home
I'm impressed that you're a young lady and you appreciate Ali.
yeah like a professor talking on some issue
Reading his body language for a split second I think he was totally confused emotionally looking his initial reaction that he was about to cry? Can anyone else see it? It happens at 3:19. His question didn't really make sense huh? Do you guys think he meant to say something like you always say your going to win instead of saying I think I'm going to win!
no . he was really surprised...thats all
"do you wanna meet my sister??"' Lmfao kid!!!! XD
LOL
That was the part I liked most.
That was the best part.
Yeah it was for the love for his Sister that see can meet her idol. Kids are so honest and want to share good things in life.
But why does he give her sister away so cheap.
I've just realized something about Muhammad Ali; he was kind!

He doesn't curse in front of kids only

The kid at the end was so smart, very wise beyond his years...
He was a typical New York Jewish kid.
