My favourite interview of him. This person was truly beautiful. Not only Ali made me even prouder to be Muslim, but he also taught me the importance of respect towards other religions. And rightly so, all religions are good. May Allah bless you with Jannah, champ!
In life there are always examples of spiritually advanced individuals who are placed here for us to follow and to learn and draw inspiration and wisdom from. Oftentimes these are people who will only be known to the select few who are personally affected by them. In other instances we are blessed to have exposure to such a person at the global level. To me, Ali was the best example from my lifetime of this. cgab12, I couldn’t agree with you more-he truly was amazing!
He had an IQ of 78 at the age of 19 and certainly lower after his boxing. He was not wise, he was just a very good boxer. His intelligence was even too low to enter the military during war times, they didn't believe they could teach him the skills required in a battlefield.
I think after all these years studying this man and analyzing his videos here's my opinion. IF he wasn't tired or jet lagged (which heavily affect cognitive skills) he sounded pretty good. He was alert, wide eyed (as you see here) and almost couldn't tell something was wrong. He wouldn't trip up over his words and were more enunciated. However, anything else other than that and you'll start to see through the cracks. George Foreman said it, you want to talk to Ali? You talk to him when he wakes up or bright and early, because thats when he sounds clearest. Problem was, this guy was a warrior, he was always travelling always tired always on the go lol. But hey thats just me and I could be completely wrong. But look at the timeline before or after these interviews and you'll see.
@@shazmaster but I don't think you're wrong. The man was a warrior. One side note that "Hallbjet", a Muhammad Ali short video maker, managed to dig up was that Alis speech slowed 27 or 29% after the Shavers fight. It slowly came back but Idk... Must have left permanent marks. And this video was 1981?!. Right? So maybe he'd been resting and was ok
I agree with a lot of the comments regarding the minter interrupting. I think the minister should have just done another segment and interviewed himself.
Ali is a very smart and ...its true why show or glorify your image and make people think if you don't look white then there is something is wrong with you. Ali is totally right in his thinking. I love how this man thinks.
Seriously?? Then undont know much about real truth. To start with when he was jailed frazier helped him tremendously yet ali comes out and disrespected frazier at every level possible…learn few facts that will change ur stance
Ali's speech was still normal (good) early in 1977 but mid-way that year the slurring was heard not just by doctors but us aswell. i guess this was sometime in 1977 cus the speech was rocky at times
He had very little formal education but his chosen sport carried him all over the world where he met King's and peasants alike, intellectuals from every walk which enabled him to glean an understanding that couldn't be learned in between four walls
Carl Gilkes you are absolutely right; when Ali speaks one must listen to him rather than interrupting. In this way you can get the best out of him. Alas Parkinson got him too early and the world missed so much of him.
Hey NO! this is not recorded in 1981, he is speaking too well for 1981, more like 1977. at about 22mins and 30 seconds he says ' I am the world heavyweight champion'. he was'ent the champion ever again after 1979
adrian nantes Muhammad Ali is the only Heavyweight Champion of the World. The others were champions of a much smaller portion of it. Namely USA and Britain.
adrian nantes he was the champion the day he died and even after. no one is the champ. only ali. get ur head out of it ass. u must not know ali very well. he was a big time joker.
He is speaking slower here, go back to his clips from the 60s or 70s and you'll hear the difference. I heard how he spoke in 1980 which is just like how he speaking now, he started really slowing down after the Holmes and specifically after the Berbick fight.
@ 20:20 Ali says "all religions are the same basically" which couldn't be further from the truth. This is something I used to think as well & even say to people. The more I studied the religions, the more unique Christianity began to appear from the rest. I not only learned that Islam & Christianity weren't alike, I found they are complete polar opposites in almost every way. To this day I wish I could have sat & talked religion & theology with Ali just once
@@Stolencamaro That's not true. Statisticly, many many many more deaths occurred under atheist regimes than all of the religious ones combined but that's beside the point. We're in agreement on religion being responsible for far to many wars & death. The difference though in wars started specifically "in the name of Islam" as opposed to "Christianity" is that in Islam, fighting against unbelievers is actually COMMANDED, something the majority of muslims luckily don't even know. They're commanded to fight nonbelievers (Surat 9:29), so war is in line with what the religion tells them to do. Wars started "in the name of Christianity" on the other hand is a complete contradiction, as Jesus' final marching orders were "love your neighbor as yourself & turn the other cheek". Turning the other cheek & going to war are in complete opposition of one another, so "Christians" who decide to go to war are going AGAINST what their commanded to do, whereas Muslims going to war in the name of Allah/Islam, are simply doing what's commanded them to do.
How they r opposites every religion forbids evil and allows good basically gambling prostitution adultury killing basically every religion doesn't tolerate that that's y the men in each religion jesus moses Krishna buddha Muhammad All preached good things which God told them to follow
@@KD400_ Not true, that's what we're led to believe, bc we all have a conscience & know right from wrong basically. But religions are based off of the writings that make up that religion. For Christianity, it's all about Jesus & what Jesus said (The New Testament/Bible). For Islam it's all about what Muhammad says Allah says (the Quran). You can boil down each of these books to one or 2 basic verses & command. Jesus' marching orders were "Love you enemy & your neighbor as yourself; turn the other cheek". Muhammad's final marching order is Surat 9:29 "Fight those who don't believe in Allah & Muhammad as his messenger". That's at the heart of those books, those are their final marching orders, COMMANDS. They're like night & day, complete opposites. One says love your neighbor, the other says to fight your neighbor, literally. Ali didn't know this. I grew up in Islam, I didn't know this. Nor do the majority of my family. Most muslims don't, bc they never read or studied what the Quran actually says. Those that actually HAVE studied it, either get out of Islam OR become like ISIS. There's really no other choice.
@@davudmoghbel3174 u switched to christianity then well the bible has many bad verses too it says to stone women for adultury kill anyone that doesn't accept christianity plus most of it is corrupted
I wish he could be alive and well today speaking his mind on all of these talk shows and doing interviews.....God, the liberals would rip their hair out.
He's very possibly my favorite public figure of all time with all of his charismatic clever wit. He's definitely the greatest fighter of all time in my book. He was the greatest entertainer as well as the greatest self promoter,,,, but he was a lousy theologian when it came to religion

I don't understand English much, but idk why I don't tired of listening such a champ voice 😍😍
that poem almost made me cry. I love ali. idc what anyone says he is the greatest and always will be the greatest.
The legendary Muhammad Ali's soul, spirit, goodwill & aura will live eternally.
My favourite interview of him. This person was truly beautiful. Not only Ali made me even prouder to be Muslim, but he also taught me the importance of respect towards other religions. And rightly so, all religions are good. May Allah bless you with Jannah, champ!
@THE CHRISTIAN ANDERS SATIRE CHANNEL Because of" people stupidity"
@@thehawks9662 exactly.... brainwashed religious people "stupidity"
He doens't know anything about islam, which makes is faith even more ridiculous
Wasnt his mentor or yours muslim elijah muhaped had sexy times with underage girls his secretarys and made them pregies
@@haka8702 yes he did u don't know anything about it
Muhammad Ali is the greatest fighter ever.
This guy needs to stop interrupting Muhammad Ali, we're here to listen to him. Please just ask questions and let him speak.
Absolutely, He kept interrupting Mr. Muhammad when he got to the crucial points of what he was explaining
An Incredibly wise man, an old soul, who was truly free. There is much to learn from him.
cgab12 exactly brother he was unbelievable mind no man will be like him
The people told him and he repeated it.

muhammad ali's water analogy about religion is absolutely profound. People can learn a lot from that
his poem was beautiful too.
What an amazing and articulate Man. I absolutely love him and hate it when he gets interrupted.
He is such a wise man/ I hope god grant him peace and happiness in the kingdom of haven.
This is a true treasure of the real spiritual genuine Ali!
Beautiful BEAUTIFUL man!
In a special way, Muhammad Ali was a smart man; this interview was a classic example.
Thia should be required viewing for every human being on earth. Tolerence, humility, respect expressed in the most elegant terms.
Just beautiful.
Rest in Peace, The Greatest Muhammad Ali..... 🙏🙏🙏
This is the least "punchdrunk" 1981 interview with Ali I've heard... Love this man. Every time I hear Ali's name I stand up and take of my hat
This almost doesn't look or sound like the 81 ali.to me it looks like 79 to 80.
I think after all these years studying this man and analyzing his videos here's my opinion. IF he wasn't tired or jet lagged (which heavily affect cognitive skills) he sounded pretty good.

Colonizer Complex🙄😒
Champion of both the world here and the world after.. May AllAH keep your memories with us till we may get blessed to see u when we there.
I did not go into expecting this was an interview I actually haven't seen before, this was a very pleasant surprise. Thank you
Ali is a very smart and ...its true why show or glorify your image and make people think if you don't look white then there is something is wrong with you. Ali is totally right in his thinking. I love how this man thinks.
He had a 78 IQ, so no.
A wonderful human being.
yea, a really nice guy! though he was also very stupid. It's a bit painful to listen to his logic right ?
Ha Ka i am sure your mother regrets bringing you to this life
Ali was so humble,he did not put on his head being famous unlike others

Yeah no way this is 1981
This is what makes him The Greatest Of All Time A Champ in and OUT of the Ring.Now I understand you have to look passed the ring.
This is such an awesome video.
WE need to start Friendship force 2020.
That would be a great thing
wonderful interview its outstanding interview about God and belief
!
The interviewer is so nervous to meet the champ and I’m not surprised 🤣❤️👍🏽
The interviewer talked more than the interviewee! Lord have Mercy.
Great interview thanks who uploaded
Мухаммед Али Джентльмен,Великий Человек Чемпион. I love you
He had very little formal education but his chosen sport carried him all over the world where he met King's and peasants alike, intellectuals from every walk which enabled him to glean an understanding that couldn't be learned in between four walls
I was born a decade after his fight with George foreman and I am inspired by Mr Ali the greatest of all time he is got sence of humour.
great man
Nice. interview was great, thanks for uploading!
Greatest of all time....
may his soul rest in peace !!!
This man is simply taking advantage of Ali.
the greatest
i wish i could have meet him
Great interview but the revered should have let him talk,
i am your friend Muhammad ali
The person speaking is to Muhammad is so annoying,how he keeps interrupting.
Carl Gilkes you are absolutely right; when Ali speaks one must listen to him rather than interrupting. In this way you can get the best out of him. Alas Parkinson got him too early and the world missed so much of him.
Frfr
thats beautiful to see you guys respect us(muslims)
Crazy how he's this fast and smart at talking with Parkinson's.
Ali has a really long tie
alex device he makes it look good tho.
Wow
And so does his interviewer.
It was difficult to listen to Ali due to the pushy style of the interviewer.
Exactly he arrogantly SPOKE OVER and TOOK OVER the convo as if Mr Ali couldn't speak his OWN mind.
Hey NO! this is not recorded in 1981, he is speaking too well for 1981, more like 1977. at about 22mins and 30 seconds he says ' I am the world heavyweight champion'. he was'ent the champion ever again after 1979
adrian nantes Muhammad Ali is the only Heavyweight Champion of the World. The others were champions of a much smaller portion of it. Namely USA and Britain.
adrian nantes I found out that this video was made in 1981.
adrian nantes ur an idiot. do ur research before u open it mouth. u sound like Larry holmes. stubborn bitch.
no way this is 1981.
adrian nantes he was the champion the day he died and even after. no one is the champ. only ali. get ur head out of it ass. u must not know ali very well. he was a big time joker.
with all this egoistic lifestyle these days i only think that friendship will be rare
I've been looking for this video "You look like god" Brown
Interviewer has a severe case of egoitis.
Sorry, that interview is never of this time in 1981. It is earlier because Muhammad Ali speak here normal, in 80's he speak slow.
He is speaking slower here, go back to his clips from the 60s or 70s and you'll hear the difference.
I heard how he spoke in 1980 which is just like how he speaking now, he started really slowing down after the Holmes and specifically after the Berbick fight.
👑👑👑
I think the pastor should let him talk at 12:00 onward.
ali
Man that man talking talks a lot! Sounds like a southern preacher....
Newcastle was `77, also it was later then. Maybe it`s `81.
Phil Frank this looks more like 77-78 period.

I sometime sees elvis presley in the way of Ali 's speaking...
me to he really reminded me of elvis look at some of his younger videos they where both good friends elvis used to stay at alis training camp
Both Southern Gentlemen. Both highly handsome and destined to be great, hence the likeness between both. Great observation by both of you.
Awful interviewer, he does not let speak Muhammad, and then interrupts him too
I wish he could be alive and well today speaking his mind on all of these talk shows and doing interviews.....God, the liberals would rip their hair out.

This isn't 1981 because Ali had the disease in that year, which he wasn't talking that well.
He is god you fools.hes sitting right there
