18 years old here. So well spoken
You can hear he has mispronounced some words lol. But still more well spoken than today’s generation
Thank to that thief who stole Ali's bike
You did the world and boxing biggest favor , otherwise we would not know this legend
The bicycle is only one of many possible triggers. He would have been triggered by other events too. LOL
@@trumplostlol3007 you're a man of many wisdoms.
I remember reading this interview in his autobiography, how he charmed the Italian press with his wit and sincerity. It's nice to finally view this now.
What's the autobiography called?? Mind dropping the link on the website
I have it in storage. I’ll check and get back with you,, released 1975 just after the 3rd Frazier bout.
@@bennyadler5882 Been 4 months. You got the name yet?
@@bee14ish In storage, I'll check again buddy.
The Greatest. My Own Story (though it was ghost written by others while every page "approved" by Herbert Muhammad. Take it for what it's worth.
Sweet boy
So if it wasn’t for a stolen bike. And he’s causen. We wouldn’t have had the greatest
Ik it’s crazy how little things can change the whole world
And Mike Tyson started boxing because of a dead pidgeon. Incredible, isn't it? Sometimes it just takes a detail.
Me : So ali, they stole your bike. Now what?
Ali : better become a heavyweight champ
Once a thief stole a bi- cycle of Md.Ali when he was a school student and this incident led to his greatest boxer in his later life.
Today Md.Ali has stolen our hearts with his outstanding , mind blowing and captivating boxing performances.
He was the greatest boxer of the world with retaining 19 times World Boxing Championship title setting up a miracle.
His suffering from Parkinson's disease during the last part of his life is very mournful and heart breaking.
He was also a great social activist. He regarded boxing only as a game in a true sportsman spirit.
He used to be very serious during boxing within the ring. But he was very childlike outside the ring talking with wit and keen sense of humour evoking joy and gaiety among the listeners.
He wisely realised that this world is a colossal room to live in and every one of us has to pay rent for it by serving poor people of the world.
He was also a great human being having lots of love for the poor section of the people.
I salute him with unbounded love and admiration for his outstanding contribution to the field of boxing as a boxer and the society as a noble human being.
He will remain immortal among his crores of fans . Every sports man should follow in his footsteps.
Now that I'm getting a little interviews ❤
Такой очаровательный и юный, а уже чемпион.
Idk why I'm so obsessed with this goat
it's extremely common. Ali was like the reincarnation of a god. He was on another level and people recognize it and fall in love with it.
Bless his heart… he was named after a great man militarily and politically. Who was an intricate part of the abolition of slavery and the emancipation proclamation
Muhammed and Ali two seperate people he was renamed after was an Arab slave trader of Africans or they called them Blacks back then too
The beginning of the Greatest!!
A very young LEGEND.
The funny part of the story is that MUHAMMAD the Prophet of Islam whom Muhammad Ali took his name from, was actually a slaveholder just like his fellow Ali, the other Muslim who Muhammad Ali took his name from, so both prophet Muhammad & Ali ibn AbiTalib were slaveholders. While Cassius Marcellus Clay entered politics during the 1830s and grew to support the abolitionist cause in the U.S., drawing ire from fellow Southerners. A founding member of the Republican Party in Kentucky, he was appointed by President Abraham Lincoln as the U.S. minister to Russia. Clay is credited with influencing Russian support for the Union during the American Civil War. So Muhammad Ali made a huge mistake by changing his name to Muhammad Ali… .
Guy that stolen Ali's bike: "Sh** I created Muhammad Ali...Ok better move on to the next apartment 🧰"
He did not know the heroic the original Cassius Clay was!!! 😮
Thanks for the video clip
He was wrong about his name, he wasn’t Cassius Clay VI he was Cassius Clay II and his paternal grandfather was Henry Clay
Named after an absolute badass
Cassius Marcellus clay was a slavery abolitionist that was notorious for winning duels against pro-slavery advocates.
He should have stopped boxing at some point to prevent the brain damage, He was a man of people, a leader, a speaker, he a good heart and was courageous
but not one which the society he was born into would have appreciated much.
I see why people liked him
He didn't get brain damage what he had Parkinson was unpreventabl he was always going to get it but for him it was sooner.
@@arnoldmagqaza7860 yeah whichever way it happened. I just wish he had stopped sooner
So Cassius Clay was a Kentucky abolishinist … then he went and changed his name to Muhammad who had Bilal lol
*freed bilal while he was being tortured, and demanded the freedom of slaves at them time as well as teaching them to read and write. At least get your history correct.
sweet
Peoples champ ❤️👑🇧🇩
Cassius is definitely a roman name.
RIP people champ
His own champ, never fought for anyone but himself.Joe Louis actually fought for the U.S government and I don't hear people calling him the people champ when he actually did.
@@daviddennen7479
People champ does nt mean to fought for country...😀
It means he was liked by everyone xcept few like u...
@@Dr-789 I assure you that if a boxer today said the things this MF said and called himself the greatest like lemme think, Mayweather you wouldn't be calling him people's champ. Ali fanboys are as trending as Micheal Jordan fanboys. Btw I think Ali is an excelent boxer and a great but calling him anything other than that is just fanboyism.Also Ali was not liked by many and is still called a draft doger to this day and a bad sportsman except for a few fanboys like yew.
❤🎉

Muhammad Ali is an even better name than Cassius Clay. Or else he wouldnt change his name.
Muhammad Ali was an islamic slave owner, Cassius Marcellus clay was an American slavery abolitionist from the 19th century.
@@atilla4372 the greatest slave of mankind are you. The Judaes own your petty lives.
@@atilla4372 ure full of bs. Keep worshipping your bs.
@@atilla4372 youre crying because he chose for Islam xD
@@atilla4372yeah your education system failed you with that propaganda
I always loved his given name and was upset when he changed it.. he could have been "Cassius the Greatest". Also, I'm impressed by how bright he is (was) even as a very young man. In my mind, I'm comparing his storytelling ability with that of Herschel Walker's.. What an extraordinary clip.. too bad it's not longer. THANK YOU! 🙏
...
Muhammad Ali sounds much better and not a slave name
@@alzalz7108 Name does not make you a slave, but your acts do
@@bathiya01your acts ? lol😂😂
@@alzalz7108 Actually, the great man in Kentucky(as he refers to him) who the original Cassius Clay was named after was a famous abolitionist! He's not named after a slave at all.
Its interesting Ali joined Islam at a time when most Middle Eastern countries still had legal slavery.
Lies. When islam came it made slavery forbidden, it has nothing to do with the middle east, it’s a religion for all, and any islamic country would’ve made it forbidden because it’s in the holy Quran
the dumbest observation ive seen in a long time pal
Look who s talking
@@ibrahimmussa1279 The whole world had slavery for thousands of years, it was normal practice, but it was white people, Europeans who forced the world to end slavery. The UK and the US fought wars over it. Even today in 2023 slavery still happens is Africa and Asia, and the Middle East.
Its against Islam to have slaves. Ur supposed to free them

Nicknamed "the Greatest", he is regarded as one of the most significant sports figures of the 20th century and is often regarded as the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. He held the Ring magazine heavyweight title from 1964 to 1970. He was the undisputed champion from 1974 to 1978 and the WBA and Ring heavyweight champion from 1978 to 1979.
