Muhammed Ali is a man of the people. He isn't the GOAT just for his boxing. He is a goat for his contribution to the black / African communities as well, through his fights against oppression.
Mohammed Ali was a man who was not afraid to say exactly what he thought or to stand up for what he believed in. Not everyone loved him for that, but that was what made him not only a talented boxer, but a great man.
Taking your greatest athletes and throwing them in a war that's not to defend your homeland is very sketchy. It's very obvious the U.S government had a problem with Ali. They just wanted Ali to stop boxing. Because boxing is a corrupt sport full of fight fixing.@@midnightbat344
I am from Louisville, Kentucky and Cassius Clay was our hometown hero, they tried so hard to break him but they failed. He changed his name during the Vietnam War and he changed the world. RIP Mr. Ali.
I watched Muhammad Ali box from my Daddy's lap. He was the total package: unbelievable athlete and an amazing showman. Float like a butterfly,sting like a bee. Aint nobody prettier than me. RIP Muhammad Ali.
Thank you so much for posting this video, I never tire of watching Muhammad Ali, he was most certainly the greatest Boxer of all time, a great humanitarian, a showman, who had time for everyone 🙂😇
He changed his name in the Vietnam era. Championship fights then were 15 rounds and no 3 knock down rule. They were much more brutal. Sonny Liston was a monster.
I can tell you a couple of funny stories related to Muhammad Ali! Once when he was going on a flight, the flight attendant told him that he needed to buckle his seat belt. Ali told her, "Superman don't need no seat belt!" The flight attendant replied, "Superman don't need no airplane!" Ali laughed and buckled up. The second story involves Ali's close friend, sportscaster Howard Cosell. Ali was black, Cosell was white, and they loved each other like brothers. This was back in the 1960s, so that was unusual. One day, Cosell and another sportscaster were in a limo on the way to a sporting event, and their driver got lost. They went into a rough neighborhood, and there was a gang of teenagers having a fistfight on the street. Howard Cosell told the driver to stop. He got out of the limo and started calling the fight like it was Muhammad Ali v George Foreman! He had a very distinctive voice, and the kids stopped fighting immediately! They couldn't believe Howard Cosell was giving them the Muhammad Ali treatment! He signed autographs for all of them, and that was the end of it. Here's a video of this legendary duo from Ali's 50th birthday. ruclips.net/video/NHgo_m6qN4I/видео.html
I had the immense pleasure of meeting him back in the mid 90's. One of the highlights of my life. His impact on not just boxing but the world is immeasurable. We still have an autographed photo he was kind enough to sign hanging proudly in my den.
Ali would sometimes train underwater to improve his hand speed. He would throw punches underwater against the resistance of the water. So, when he threw punches above water, they would be much quicker. "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Their hands can't hit what their eyes can't see. AAAHHH! Rumble young man, rumble."
What a beautiful family God bless y'all It's awesome seeing families spend time like this especially learning the history of boxing something I love so much
Amazing piece of boxing history! Even still today! Muhammad Ali is loved my many Americans and there will never be another Muhammad Ali! May he rest in peace ❤
His boxing was just WOW!! He also lit the Olympic Flame in 1996 in Atlanta! No one knew who was going to be lighting it until he came out. Was hard to see him shaking there knowing all that he did for the world of boxing!! He let you have it in the ring AND vocally!!
He was a very complex and inspirational man beyond his boxing capabilities. His family helped create a wonder museum in his hometown in Louisville Kentucky that deserves more attention.
Yeah, this is nothing more than a cash grab now. Which, I understand people needing to make a living, but drop the "this is a family" deal. The focus has definitely gone away from providing content for the average viewer and shifted to trying to get money at every turn.
Yeah this is unfortunate. Hopefully they realize overtime it stunts growth and income long term to do stuff like this. If it continues I definitely won’t stay subscribed.
Did you guys not watch the video? Because I watched it and it was free for me to do so, lots of channels have Patreon hell I'd say 90% of em do by now, exclusive content doesn't mean you can't watch the normal content, if you feel left out, pay for it, simple, Jesus Christ you guys didn't actually believe you're part of their family did you?
If you like watching Ali, you guys should do a video on Sugar Ray Robinson. He is generally considered the greatest boxer of all time. Even Ali and other greats have said so.
@@tyyyy5733 ever heard of Sam Langford? Ali was by far the greatest personality, most influential and an incredible athlete that was a fabulous fighter to behold but best ever? Perhaps to those that don't look before 1960 or only recognise fighters seen on a colour TV. There is a vast array of fighters before then and most scholars and historians wouldn't have him top 5 in history, I know it sounds mad but it is the case.
@@tyyyy5733 Ali could be the greatest heavyweight!! Sugar Ray wasn't a heavyweight but might be the most accomplished overall boxer to ever touch gloves. But I will say this as I've always said. Heavyweight fighters usually have more punching power and many fighters in other classes may have struggled more had they been in the heavyweight division. Ali fought in the golden era of heavyweight boxing when he was the heavyweight champion. Ali has a case for that quote you made.
His trilogy of fights with Joe Frazier were brutal. Those were 3 epic fights. His rope a dope tatic defeated the unbeatable George Foreman in his prime. He really was a world champion & fought his bouts all over the world. No one dominated or owned a boxing ring the way Muhammad Ali did

Ali is from my city Louisville, Ky He is a legend and when he was still alive his last few years were here and even though his disease was so bad, he still had that small bit of fire burning in him
Another great American boxer was Jimmy Braddock. The Ron Howard film "Cinderella Man," featured Russell Crowe as Braddock. Other Ron Howard films include "Apollo 13" and "A Beautiful Mind."
That one with Liston was a very controversial fight. Back then you had to be very cautious about your opponents. My father seen this fight and told me that some boxers after the fight had already began would slip things into the palm of their gloves to rub off in their opponent's eyes to blind them temporarily to try to give them an advantage. The problem is that it only lasts for so long. As you could see, Ali wasn't happy about it, and it showed in his performance keeping his distance from then on while pummeling Liston for what he had done.
One of Ali's best fights was against George Foreman from Houston, Texas. It was call the the Thriller from Manilla. It was faught in Manilla, Philippense
No, that was the "Rumble in the Jungle" in Kinshasa, Zaire, Africa. The "Thrilla in Manila" was against his arch nemesis, Joe Frazier, in Manila Philippines, their third and final bout against each other. Many regard that fight as the greatest boxing match of all time. It was truly grueling, as both fighters probably lost maybe 10 quality years off their lives.
When he converted to Islam, Elijah Muhammad gave Cassius Clay his new name, Muhammad Ali, which means "supremely praiseworthy." Ernie Terrell, at first, refused to call him Muhammad Ali, which resulted in the famous "Say My Name" fight, in which Ali pummeled him for 15 rounds, giving him the punishment of a lifetime. All the while, as he beat him, yelling, "SAY MY NAME!" I'm a Louisville native, and a lot of us just call him, "The Champ." When you say, "The Champ," we all (over 45 at least) know who you mean.
I am from Louisville and his final resting place is here in town. My fourth-grade teacher was his relative and he came to visit us during school. I'll never forget that day.

I am now 65, and I was a big fan of Ali in the 1970s when I was a teenager. There is so much behind these images from those times, and these (very nice, wonderful!) New Zealanders cannot possibly know even 1% of this seminal sports history: American racism; American culture; the American war in Vietnam (and Ali’s war resistance); the iconoclastic aspects of a guy who was so “brutal” as a fighter, but with almost pacifist political leanings. It was a tumultuous time. Ali was an icon!
Hello Sam, Ive been watching your videos for the last couple months and watched a good amount of the old ones. We in America love your families interest and appreciation for our country. All of you videos are enjoyable, the reaction videos, box opening videos, Atlantas cooking show, all of them are great. I was very sorry to hear about your mom. Most of you viewers know the feeling of losing a parent. I just wanted you to know you dont always need to be peppy and entertaining to put out videos. Sometimes its good to put out videos to discuss what you guys are going through as a family good or bad. Happy or sad. Its not the type of specific content you put out that keeps us engaged its you and your family dynamics thats enjoyable. Anyways, i would love for you to put a video out about your mother. What she did for a living, what kind of mom was she, what type of grandmother and mother in law was she. What did she think about your videos and how much love you receive across the world etc. I understand if you dont want to talk about this on a video but if you did all of us would love to hear. Based on you and your wifes parenting i bet your mom was quite a special lady, take care, keep up the good work, Cheers my man
Ali often used a modified version of the old Dempsey roll to dodge punches. It’s a figure eight bob and weave that most opponents can’t even understand. Most boxers learn how to do it but modify it for their own use. Tyson modified it even further into a destructive weapon. Another boxer actually made it part of a three hit combo to end fights quickly a simple uppercut to the jaw, a gazelle punch with a feint thrown in, and the nearly complete Dempsey combined with left and right hooks as the finish. Most opponents are instantly devastated and fall unable to continue. World champions of the highest caliber can easily see right through everything and dismantle the Dempsey so easily with simple left hand punches.
Hello there! I was wondering if you were watching him fight or watching him speak, because he was an amazing orator as well. What makes the Parkinson’s disease such a bitter foe to do battle with. If you ever have the chance try to watch some of his early interviews, I love the way he would rhyme in his speech without thinking, though they say that’s a sign of neurological problems too, it’s still an amazing skill to observe. My folks have dementia and my dad has a mild form of Parkinson’s too, probably from exposures in the Navy . Nothing like the hits to the head the champ took, but even head on crashes like mine have to be mindful of diseases like Parkinson’s as time goes on. It might start as a hand shaking or other small sign. I am just thankful for the functions my folks still have mostly, but that doesn’t mean the side effects are easy to deal with.
I remember those fights and him saying "I'm so pretty". He certainly was entertaining and I loved his interactions with Howard Cosell. They were hilarious together.
I used to live in Louisville Ali’s hometown when he passed there was a tree in front of the Muhammad Ali center that all of a sudden a swarm of bees surrounded it. It was wild
My dad was a huge boxing fan, so we watched plenty of matches with Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali. He was truly a showman just like you saw these videos he talked trash about the boxers And how pretty he was. My great grandfather grew up in the same small town in Kentucky as Cassius Clay did.
Sam, you're right in your guess that he changed his name. His birth name was Cassius Clay, but he took the new name when he became a black Muslim, as did Lew Alcindor of UCLA fame when he became the basketball star Kareem Abdul Jabar. The last time we saw him in public was when he was the final torchbearer at the Los Angeles Olympics back in 1984.
Muhammed Ali is a man of the people. He isn't the GOAT just for his boxing. He is a goat for his contribution to the black / African communities as well, through his fights against oppression.
Mohammed Ali was a man who was not afraid to say exactly what he thought or to stand up for what he believed in.

I grew up watching Muhammad Ali. He lived in my hometown of Cherry Hill, NJ in the early to mid 1970s.
Don King 👑 and the mob found him a nice place.

Ali was willing to die for what he stood for!! One of a kind legend
I remember those fights and him saying "I'm so pretty". He certainly was entertaining and I loved his interactions with Howard Cosell. They were hilarious together.
Sonny Liston is also a hell of a competitor. 2 great men going at it. That's one for the books.
Marvin Haglar, Roberto Duran, Manny Pacquiao and Muhammed Ali hero Sugar Ray Robinson are some really good boxers to look at
Ali is the greatest. There is no argument.
I used to live in Louisville Ali’s hometown when he passed there was a tree in front of the Muhammad Ali center that all of a sudden a swarm of bees surrounded it. It was wild
he was the Elvis Presley of the boxing world, Elvis even had a jumpsuit made for Ali
Carried the Olympic torch near the end too. Dave from Ohio
My dad was a huge boxing fan, so we watched plenty of matches with Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali. He was truly a showman just like you saw these videos he talked trash about the boxers And how pretty he was. My great grandfather grew up in the same small town in Kentucky as Cassius Clay did.
I saw him training in 1974 in Miami. Took a few pictures I still have. He did not like me yelling Hey Champ when I took a picture.
Louisville ky has some great Muhammad Ali attractions.
Sam, you're right in your guess that he changed his name. His birth name was Cassius Clay, but he took the new name when he became a black Muslim, as did Lew Alcindor of UCLA fame when he became the basketball star Kareem Abdul Jabar.
The last time we saw him in public was when he was the final torchbearer at the Los Angeles Olympics back in 1984.
Lord save this beautiful family, grant them success.
I as a child and my father got up at night to watch the fights live on German TV that was an experience for me.
