Would I ever meet a man a great as this, and I’m not even talking a about boxing so charismatic so compassionate, this is a how human beings are meant to be.
Man imagine being that kid, i would atleast shook his hand or given him a hug, before walking off, what a great man Ali was, one of a kind and there Will never be Another one like him again :/
Seeing this kid box with Ali reminds me of the time that I saw him many years ago. It was at a book signing in NYC- if I remember correctly it was at Bloomingdales, and the book's author Thomas Hauser was also there as well as Howard Bingham- Ali's photographer. Anyway, I read that he would be there so I got there early, but I didn't have any money to buy a book so my intention was just to get a glimpse of him. I remember being rather close maybe about 50 feet away. I felt so bad that I couldn't buy the book and actually meet him and shake his hand. I was just standing there staring, and after awhile he noticed me. He keep signing books, but than he started holding up his fist and doing his I wanna fight you antics, but very subtly. At first I didn't know who he was talking to so I looked around to see and when I looked back at him he pointed as if to say, I'm talking to you. I kinda smiled at first- you know being noticed by the champ, my idiol, but than he keep going(he never said a word to me just menacing gestures- biting his bottom lip and etc., but this is before the internet and such and I never saw him do this to anyone) and though I kinda felt in my heart that he was just joking, for a moment I couldn't tell if he was serious are not- he pysched me out. He had that look in his eyes and a serious look on his face. He keep montioning for me to come get my whooping. I was sooooo neverous so I was kinda frozen in my tracks. But seeing what he did to this kid I'm glad that I didn't take his offer, I probably would have pissed in my pants. What a man. Rip Muhammad Ali- you are truly the greatest!!!
what a story...glad you got to meet him. This is a really special person - I just started watching his old interviews/fights since Tyson said that he was the GOAT. I have always known about him, but I have to agree that is an icon that is beyond boxing.
One of my biggest disappointments in my life is not meeting one of my biggest hero's the one and only goat Mohammad Ali. RIP champ! You will be sorely missed. I have seen all your fights!
Above all being a good,great boxer, great enetertainer,great untitled Comedian, Mohammad Ali was a great Humanitarian. He helped bring true Democracy in America. He helped (along with Martin, Malcolm and many others) demolish the hypocricy in America, that had lingered for centuries, the mistreatment of Afro americans,the lnnumerable lynchings etc,etc.
He was seriously nervous and a recent interview shows him saying that it was the experience of his life, that he was totally over-awed because Ali was and still is one of his biggest hero's. Nice story.
THIS is why Muhammad Ali IS, as his name translates," WORTHY OF ALL PRAISE". The world is a better place because we were blessed by his presence. Children know his name, diplomats, Presidents and premiers, people from ALL walks of life, know his name. As well there is nobody who can dispute his beauty and grace as a Boxer. " The GREATEST OF ALL TIMES ". Indeed!
lets not forget, he was spat on by white judeo-christian america and he still stood up for his people and children of any color. He gave african americans courage, power to self love. It's funny how the same hypocrites in the politics and media who called him names and refused to see him as a muslim or as a human being, were the first to talk about him as if they knew him personally after his death. With his mouth he whipped his enemies and with his hands he kicked their face in. And, I think he was the first rapper as well.
That guy was a weirdo how did he even get on that stage??? Who spars with ALI AND NOT SHAKE HIS HAND OR HUG HIM AFTERWARDS??? WHAT A DICK!🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Muhammed Ali May Allah reward you with Jannah for all that you have done for humanity in your short time in this world. This man build bridges between us. I am surprised after he explained everything he and the foundation of Chicago did for Zaire and the planned projects he had for Africa, that they did not applaud that. I guess the British were still hurt of letting their colonies go. Great interview and interesting questions from the audience.
If you watch the sparring part closely enough or in slow motion, you will find that Ali had blocked all the kid's punches. Surprisingly, he's trash talking at the same time. Sheer genius and mastery of the art.
He looked alright when Ali was jabbing him and he had something to react to, after which Ali said, "He's pretty good. At first he was just nervous that's all
I am a millennial in his generation but this is the kind of men i wanted to hear their opinions about life. Love you, Mohammad Ali, though you are not here with us anymore. But i am going to see u in the eternities as to who you were as the begotten spirit child of our heavenly parents before your mortal journey.
Audience started to laugh when Ali said it's masterpiece but they calm down fast when they saw Ali is serious :D And I would be so proud Ali tells me all that he said to young kid.
He later explained that he was extremely scared and nervous. That is a normal reaction when you are young. Think of the times when a teacher asked you to come to the front of the class with out warning! He was in awe of The Greatest!
"Image of truth is the cross wisdom's message is its rod the sign of truth is Christ the soul of truth is God " (1:08 - 1:18) He sounded more like a Christian in that poem. RIP champ.
I was watching a later interview where he recited his poem. "The image of truth is the crescent...the messenger of truth is Elijah Mohammad...and the soul of truth is Allah"...or something very close to that. It didn't quite fit the poem because he shoe-horned in words with too many syllables, but he did change it to reflect his beliefs.
This is one of the great moments of poetry fraud in history. The fact that he is reciting poem about Truth while telling a big whopper by taking credit for it is irony at its best. This poem was written by the great Indian Sufi mystic and philosopher Hazrat Inayat Khan around 1923, whose teachings Ali admired greatly. I'm impressed he memorized it (mostly correctly). Inayat Khan's teachings were a Universal message of love, harmony and beauty.
@@yaniyusoff3084 wahiduddin.net/mv2/say/nirtan_alankaras.htm Just scroll down a little bit to find the original. Before the fraudster was born. There's your proof, Mr. LOL
His mind or thinking was not confined or limited to simply boxing ring but was and is way beyond that ring reaching each and every individual’s heart came to see the fight cuz he talks even after the fight in shows, universities in different countries and entertained the people, helping, motivating and educating the people. Can you Give me one name who’s reached that level? The answer is nobody since Ali. There’re people who is trying but they set certain limits and don’t go beyond that cuz someone’s gonna get mad up in the elite group, Muhammad Ali has the balls to say “NO” to not only the world’s super power at the time but his own country when he was drafted cuz he was not in favor of war, he said and did what he thought was right!
So.. it's one thing to watch that and feel like, oh this is interesting, funny and entertaining, so you're not taking that sparring very seriously. Especially cuz Ali is being funny while they're sparring. But when the kid sat down he was winded and had a super serious look on his face. He had just sparred with the greatest. He was probably really nervous to begin with. But did ok and was like, holy shit, I'm lookin into the eyes of the greatest and he's tellin me I ain't shit lol. That's intense. "All the girls are watchin" 🤦♂️😅🤣lmao
haha yea that kid should be loving that, getting the chance to do that with ali would be amazing! you'd never forget a thing like that, telling your kids you did some mock sparring with Muhammad Ali :) kid didn't enjoy it as much as he should have
I watched this on tv a while ago, and i too was baffled by the manner of the kid that boxed with Ali at the end! I wondered who or what could have upset him! :-/
Ali poetry was just as great as his fighting!!!
The 2nd part of his name Ali was a great warrior, leader, thinker and also a poet.
@@Rashidamin what about the 1st part of name!
Both name makes him what he was
@@Mr-xo3id the 1st part of his name made him an endearing and famous person.
There's only one problem he did not write the poem truth it was written by a woman
Ali lied saying he wrote that poem when in fact he did not
Would I ever meet a man a great as this, and I’m not even talking a about boxing so charismatic so compassionate, this is a how human beings are meant to be.

No more men like MD.Ali,so Ali is the greatest
Cassius Clay known for being draft dodging coward.
No man is invincible but Some men are just special, ALI is a special man.
Its still great how he got that kid to show what he’s really capable of 💯

He was seriously nervous and a recent interview shows him saying that it was the experience of his life, that he was totally over-awed because Ali was and still is one of his biggest hero's.

He should have hugged him or shook the legends hand at least, I hugged Ali and smiled the whole time in 1989 Dallas tx

After Ali beat sonny , America t v Most of them refuse to have Ali on. he did most of his early interviews all over Europe.
lets not forget, he was spat on by white judeo-christian america and he still stood up for his people and children of any color. He gave african americans courage, power to self love. It's funny how the same hypocrites in the politics and media who called him names and refused to see him as a muslim or as a human being, were the first to talk about him as if they knew him personally after his death.

Clearly Mr.America hates Muslim MD.Ali-trump
question : 1 answer : 5 he was awesome guy. Ali is really a special gift from God..
i love you M ali l love your interview, your boxing and poems. i feel v v v good. honestly tuch my heart. God bless you.
“Yeah my friend you are not as dumb as you look” 😂😂 and the camera shows the dude’s grumpy face. Then I died 😂😂😂😂

Yeh, hes probably camera shy.
he's very special and ali is HERO
Am here jst wching him Allah ya rahma
That kid will have a story to tell his grandkids! I sparred with Ali!🇮🇪

Vasantha Perera Ali knew boxing and could tell straight away who was a good fighter. Did that kid made it big in boxing? I doubt it

Greatest of all time in everywhere
I love this man

And I would be so proud Ali tells me all that he said to young kid.
What you wrote about laughter is wrong. Thank you.
I counted four times that the kid from Jamaica hit Muhammad Ali. Amazing really!!
Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson is the best boxers ever to interview let alone the best to put on gloves too!
The Jamaican kid from 4:30 is a Southpaw; hence the awkwardness at the onset. Good clip. Rest well, Champ!
The charisma of this man. He fills up the whole room.
He later explained that he was extremely scared and nervous. That is a normal reaction when you are young. Think of the times when a teacher asked you to come to the front of the class with out warning! He was in awe of The Greatest!
He was a true human being.
Oh MY GOD
THATS THE GREATEST POEM
I'VE EVER HEARD AND THE MOST TRUTHFULL ONE AS WELL..IM STUNNED THIS ISMT ETCJED IN GRANITE ABOVE THE 1ST AMENDMENT
wish the US srtill loved boxing the way the UK does.... Much Respect from the States to my English brothers
Only one word to describe this Man !
Greatest
wow intelligent
These are times we need his leadership. True talking no frills.
Muhammad has alway regarded himself as pretty :D
"Image of truth is the cross
wisdom's message is its rod
