What is really remarkable is the fact that although Ali graduated with a D average and failed the military tests twice, he became self educated and went on college lecture tours during his exile because he was broke and was well received, in fact, no speaker in Harvard University history at that time ever received a standing ovation, except, Muhammad Ali. He also was interviewed by some of the best interviewers and news anchors of the time and more than held his own, incredible man, and I'm proud to say I met him.
@Dennis Ali was no coward. He didn't flee the country or seek deferment. Men like Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney, Donald Trump etc. all agreed with the war yet found ways to avoid the draft. Ali was principled and lost his livelihood and title and missed the prime years of his career. Also why should any black man in the 50s and 60s want to go fight in Vietnam or anywhere when they were second class citizens in America. Furthermore, ever war post World War II has been in violation of international law and also for geopolitical reasons. Has absolutely nothing to do with "protecting America".
And for Steve Harvey? Check his interview with Mo'Nique, how he has been imploring her to sell out - accept scrubbings - so as to get a job in Hollywood.
@@DXSINGER If you were as pretty as Ali, I'm sure you'll have some womanizing stories too. I see what makes you feel good is knowing the dirt on somebody instead of enjoying what they were about. Would you ask your mother who she dated before she met your father? Did you ever ask her what she did on those dates? ...GROW UP THEN!
@@kingeliii9011 Nothing wrong with what Ali does with consenting adults, but there is a hypocrisy when Tyson got trashed in the media for his womanising..
I drove from Texas to Kentucky for his funeral and I'm proud myself for respect. Edit: Thank you guys for the likes it shows how much you admire the champ. Like so many other people around the the world. I'm from Turkey though.
Igor there is some truth to you but Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson or two of the finest human beings in the world you cannot judge them along with the other Muslims
Knowing that you're going through rough times is itself an achievement which means you yourself are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I believe and hope you blew by it by now. Regards from Somalia.
Me too! Remember, Ali himself was broke in the late 60s, had to borrow money from Frazier, and his career was in limbo, and a large portion of America hated him. It is entirely possible that at the height of hatred, he would have been assassinated. But he had faith that a higher power still wanted him on Earth unlike Malcolm X! So hopefully you could sleep peacefully at night, and work on your problems with a fresh mind each and every day until you come up with the solution!
He was one of the most handsome men I ever saw. And when he was truly in shape, a great physical specimen. Not overly muscular like Ken Norton or hugely powerful looking like Liston or Foreman, but just a perfect athletic body. His fight against Cleveland Williams showed Ali at his brilliant best. A mind boggling display. What we might have witnessed had he not been robbed of 3 years of his prime.
@Fit Boy Abdul I saw all of Ali's fights since his return from exile. I was 12 when he lost to his greatest rival, Joe Frazier, in March of 1971. That was the greatest one day sporting event of the 20th century. I only bet on two fights in Ali's career. In this case I bet my stepather $1.00 that Joe would win even though I was fervently hoping that Ali would win. The second time was when Ali fought George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire, Africa in late October of 1974. I bet $5.00 that Ali would win.
Don't forget that old video recordings made them sound like that. Listen to the commentators, old cartoons, and old clips and you'll hear that they all sound the same.
Ali paved the way for athletes and superstars to "give back".. And make a difference... But sadly too many choose to be slaves not captains of their ship.
Muhammad Ali, may Allah swt be pleased with him, was truly a man of principle. There are many great athletes of all color, but, Muhammad Ali eclipsed them all. He was more than just a boxer. As mstrunn said, Ali was interviewed by the top news anchors of the day and he more than held his own. How many athletes have been on Face the Nation. Many of the interviewers were stunned by Ali's knowledge and how articulate he was. he may not have had a great formal education, but he was educated and for all the brashness we see in promotion of his fights, he was very humble, charitable, loyal and principled man. Words are not enough to describe Muhammad Ali.
#TEAM TRUMP Marciano was easy to hit and was down in his career more than Muhammad. Ali "before" his prime (his prime was robbed from him, so he wasn't allowed to fight then) would have carved Marciano up. Conversely, Ali was too fast for Marciano to hit. I'm talking about the young Ali not the Ali who came back after the three and a half years forced exile. Marciano was powerful but slow. Ali would have chopped him up. Ali was hard to hit with two good eyes. Imagine trying to hit him with closed ones. Marciano would have been another Ali TKO victim.
Frazier would have been a thorn in Ali’s side regardless of whether they would have rumbled in the 60’s. Joe was tough and determined. However, Ali would have never lost to him. Ali lost to him in 71 because it was obvious Ali hadn’t shaken off all of the ring rust. Joe was smart to take the fight when he did, and although he knocked Ali down and won fair and square, he still spent a month in the hospital afterwards.
@#TEAM TRUMP SMH. Poor man, not only are you a racist, but you know nothing of this sport you speak of. Louis, Charles, Walcott, etc...were 'beaten old fighters' when they faced Rocky. Those are facts. All you have to do, is do a lil' research and you'll find this to be true. Also...fuck a country that expects an oppressed people to fight on their behalf, fuck racist ignorant closed minded people, and most of all, FUCK YOU!!!
Television Man SO EASILY IMAGINE ALI dancing around the bully short Marciano .... with tremendous flurry of legs dance 💃 left jab left jab left jab left left jab .... “ you cant hit what you can’t see !! 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊 🤣😂😅
This is why parents need to positively encourage their children while still young, just like respected Mohammad Ali' father did with Ali. He told his son he is going to be the world champion. There is a huge big lesson for all parents and would be parents to produce and raise a remarkable and a NOBLE child like Ali.
I have seen many videos of Ali over the past months. What a force of nature! I have no idea what he was like to live with, but he certainly left a powerful footprint before passing on!
With All The Respect That I have For All Of You, Why In The World, Would You compare Ali and Bruce Lee? It's like, y'all are comparing a soccer player and a Basket ball Player :/
Berrekia Kambizuri Booths are fighters ( the bests in they’re art )! Both have lightning 🌩 speed in their hands and foot. Bruce saw Ali as best fighter in the world! I think in many things are Ali with Lee compare. They’re problems with America’s race discrimination ! Lee have studied the footwork of Ali and prime boxers. He have say the people will a fight between Ali vs. Lee. In a streetfight without regulation. I think Lee have much respect to Ali !!! Booth men’s are icons of fighters ! Booth are role models-R.I.P. Legends.🥊💔🥊
What is now referred to as the "courage of one's convictions" is the willingness to tweet something sensible and then go back to one's eggs Benedict. Ali, Curt Flood, and dozens of others back in the day stepped up and were ready to pay with everything they had.
Ali was the greatest sportsman of the 20th century. Ruth, Louis, Mays, Chamberlain, Russell, Abdul-Jabbar, Jordan, Howe, Orr, Gretzky, Nicklaus, Palmer, Unitas, Brown and others all form a line behind him. Even Pele comes in behind Ali. My vote for athlete of the 21st century goes to Roger Federer.
This is a perfect example of why Ali was the greatest. Not just because of his legendary skill as a pugilist, or his ability to come back from defeat. It's about an unshakable will and love for his people, in a time where people would really try to destroy you for going against the system. One of short list of truly amazing human beings. RIP champ. xx
You cannot put a price tag on what Muhammad Ali was worth a day. The outrageous money that Floyd Mayweather gets. I never watch his fights Mayweather always what's up getting a unanimous decision. He has not knocked out anybody since 2011 and that was Victor Ortiz. The referee was separating the two fighters and Floyd Mayweather hit him on the break it should have been illegal. Muhammad Ali pave the way 4 people in the boxing ring to get the outrageous amount of money that they do today. If Muhammad Ali was boxing today you cannot put a price tag on his worth. He would die in the ring before he would give up a fight a lot of Fighters nail just give up.
What is really remarkable is the fact that although Ali graduated with a D average and failed the military tests twice, he became self educated and went on college lecture tours during his exile because he was broke and was well received, in fact, no speaker in Harvard University history at that time ever received a standing ovation, except, Muhammad Ali.

@Dennis Ali was already at war.
Absolutely agree.

I've always loved Ali.
Not so sure why is womanizing has been ignored?

I’m here June 2020 watch the champ and I will continue to watch years and years to com....god bless you Muhammad Ali ❤️
As great a man as Boxing. He's inspired me most of my life. I even got to meet & talk to Him.
😲 that’s good for you, I only wish 🥊🥊
Wow , what did you talk about if you dont mind me asking
I loved it when he said he lost the test twice when he was Christian and when he became Muslim he became wise.
Ali's exceptional talent was always beyond description....he is, was and will be the most loved one being on earth...
The Greatest Of All Time
- Hero
- Great Man
- Legend
He always had that cheeky half grin on his face when he was mouthing off lol, all tongue in cheek.
Ali working his magic on the speed bag at the beginning after 2 years of inactivity...is unbelievably beautiful! What a gifted human being he was.
What a great man! Wherever you are Muhammad Ali, may the almighty God bless you, thank you for once roaming this planet.
Wow that's my first time seeing his parents on film
Never stops love this man is just too good and was way ahead of his time . Greatest champion ever !
I like his mom and his dad.
Etta Wing ye
@Jimizul He actually looks like both of them. Facial structure and skin is a mixture of his parents. Two beautiful Black people!

Etta Wing they did a good job of raising their son
me too ,a good looking couple.
The GREATEST fighter ever. May god mercy you.
Muhammad Ali looked like his mama💖💖💖
R.I.P Ali the G.O.A.T such an inspiration for all of us ❤️😇💜
Wow Laila Ali has a striking resemblance to her grandmother
Love him ! May God grants him the paradise 🙏💖
There’s a man with values, and went through pain of protecting them.
Huge Respect my King ( Muhammed Ali ) 💪❤️❤️❤️❤️
Havent seen this before - thanks for posting

@#TEAM TRUMP i'm sorry for you, mate. You feel outraged somehow
Shaynel Ahmed exactly !!
easily the most intriguing athlete in history.

Around this time 69 he would have been in his PRIME. Joe Frazier would not have been able to beat ALi and Joe was A Great GREAT FIGHTER

Ali is still the greatest!!!!!!!!
He was a great men,my respect to the greatest ,rest in peace champ ,AllahYerhmak
Ali be chillin and taking casually and then he's calling be knocking at his heart and then the mouth can't contain and needs to speak!
Awesome video!!
what a Man ,,,,,,no words
The greatest champion .The great human
Ali best legend
This is two (REAL) champions that have the spirit of the LORD, with them; like Muhammad Ali. They are both (PEOPLE'S) champs.
Ellis was more than "half" Frazier was the NYCAC HW WC which was only recognized in 6 USA states
Greatest man🙏🙏🙏🙏
What is now referred to as the "courage of one's convictions" is the willingness to tweet something sensible and then go back to one's eggs Benedict. Ali, Curt Flood, and dozens of others back in the day stepped up and were ready to pay with everything they had.

Looks like a really nice family.
