In 1989 Ali came to Portland Oregon to officiate over the opening of our Police Activity League Gym. As a Portland Police Officer I was selected to be his personal bodyguard and driver for 3 days. This man was amazing. His style, gravitas and HUMOR is absolutely unsurpassed. The 3 days I spent with him are among my most cherished memories. Thank God I took photos and got signed memorabilia for my young son, now gone. God bless you Muhammad Ali.
@@vince1638 Wow. I have a story as well. Not nearly as good a yours. Me and a friend were driving down 6th ave in NY. Howards limo stopped next to us. Howard had his window down, and my friend said to howard loan me $5. Howard said, you give me 10 and I will loan you 5. We still laugh and tell that story.
You're right but I think there was a little bit of tongue in cheek by both men! Ali was great and Howard was in the right place at the right time and, like a barnacle on a large and beautiful whale, he became popular because of these interviews! He was a very smart and Ali went on to take on a different role as peace keeping ambassador for the unattainable idealism thought, that there will be a time, when "...little Black children will play with little White children and not he judged on the color of their skin!" Imagine!
Zachary Laid Finding Freedom So long as there exists a history of boxing there will be Ali in it, just as anyone knowing anything of boxing still knows of John L. Sullivan today. These kinds of legends don't die.
The greatest of all times not only as a boxer but as a leader of people white and black. Muhammad Ali will go down in history as truly the greatest of all times four people.
There is not one sports personality around today day like Muhammad Ali I think the closest to him would be Tyson Fury not the Old Tyson Fury the Tyson Fury that has came back more Humble and a little bit eccentric but still not like years ago when there was a lot of sports personalities but Muhammad Ali tops the lot will always go down as the greatest of all time not trust in boxing the greatest man of all time sure he is the most written about man on the planet
-and NOT just for his boxing skills, but far more importantly for his willingness to stand for what he believed was right. Howard also stood by Ali and took a huge risk for him when no one else in the media would in his darkest hour - and Ali never forgot that. These two men truly loved each other.
Me too!! Like how he taunted his opponents in the ring. And how he cheated on his wife after his soulful conversion to Islam. And how he called white people devil's. So much to admire!
He was a truly brilliant fighter and athlete, a courageous man and a rare human being. He not only shook up the world, he made it a brighter place and made people smile.
These 2 were as funny as Martin and Lewis....Ali was so awesome that weather you agreed or disagreed with him, you had to love him....I cried when he lost to Spinks.....Ali would've DEYSTROYED holmes inside of six rounds in his prime. I'm a White Christian Conservative Man who grew up watching Ali and I don't blame him one bit for refusing the draft...fight for a country that wouldn't let him use certain toilets, stores or vote...U can just tell how much Ali loved people....no matter what color they were. R.I.P. Champ.☺️☺️
Ali was the GOAT, Cosell is an all time jersey. He loves to create drama to get Ali started. When Ali said, " Cosell everytime you open your mouth you should be arrested for air pollution. " That was dope.
What amazes me is that Angelo Dundee was present at most of Ali's TV appearances in the audience and all of his press conferences. They truly were friends and more like family. Dundee once said "Muhammad Ali was the best thing that happened in my life". It doesn't get any clearer than that.
El Tiburon... That’s a BIG FACT!!! Angelo Dundee loved Ali genuinely... Also Angelo Dundee was the ONLY white man trusted to be with Ali by his Muslim Brothers. They knew Angelo was sincere and honest.
These were the days. When interviewers weren't afraid to ask the real questions that people wanted to know about, and said it how it was. Not the scripted bs of today
This is somebody we'll never see the likes of again. Sharp as a tac, powerful and humble, yes humble. He stood up for what he believed in and he made sure we'd all know about it. I give him all the respect he deserves when he didn't go into the armed forces against the Vietnamese people. He said, "I've got no qualms with the Vietnamese, they didn't do anything to me". It now makes so much more sense to me. I'm 63 and although I've only watched a couple of fights with my father, I heard him say how great this man really was. I can appreciate that now. My friend's have all his fights on video and they'd watch them over and over so yeah, I heard Ali's voice alot and he was truly his authentic self. What you see is what you got. There will never be a man on Earth who could do what Ali has done. I miss his voice. I can hardly bear to watch the cruel trick a "loving God" played on him. I know people will say, everything happens for a reason. I'd then ask them, what's the reason for this cruelty. Missing you very much, Mr. Muhammed Ali. Rest now, 😔✨🤧🌹🌹🌹🌹
If everyone spoke their mind all the time blood would run in the streets. There is such a thing as diplomacy and being a nice person. If you have nothing nice to say then keep your mouth shut!
@briant2140 the dangers of not having unfettered freedom of speech far outweigh the dangers of having it. Conformity and silence are far more dangerous to a societies well being.
IF YOU HAD A BAD DAY......JUST LISTEN TO THESE GUYS........YOU WILL BE CRYING WHEN THEY'RE FINISH..........LOVE EM BOTH....RIP TO THESE LEGENDS.........
Ali was always an icon I admired. His lines were so witty and humorous. The worst part of the disease, when it caught up to him, was it took away his quick wit. It was akin to taking away the beautiful song of a bird. But i'm grateful for the memories. To most of the world and me, Ali was family. And we were proud of him.
Hey Nicky, How In The Hell Can You Say You Remember All Of Their History. When Were You Born 1963 Or 1964 You Were Too Young To Remember Any Clay/Ali Fights In The 1960's Mr. B S.
When Howard Cosell spoke on HBCU’s and Black Players not ever getting a vote, I knew this man was light years ahead of other reporters. Wish these players in the modern NFL would listen and join Colin Kaepernick!

The greatest sports duo of all times. Ali was the man and never have i seen another man with more heart then him. Rip champ!
Great celebrities!!! Howard was an excellent sport writer, one the best. , if not the best! Ali was a real Champion....and they both great human beings
Their relationship was of mutual respect. Ali knew that Cossell was always going to be a reporter and Cossell knew that Ali was always going to be Ali.
I don't think people are that much different then than they are today. There's always been hate and ignorance but today w/technology, and social media it gets much more exposure.
@@Lewis9709 I think people are much more self absorbed now than the 60's and 70's, and technology and social media have a lot to do with it. Both have made it possible for narcissists to pretend that they're more important than they really are. That worries me some.

OMG!! What an introduction! These two guys had a great rapport. Funny combination. Ali was the best heavyweight ever. Cosell was the best sports announcer ever. They clearly liked each other very much.

Amazing intellectual jousting by two heavy weight-thinking friends. Just charming. I am beside myself with tears. God bless both these super-intelligent men. RIP. Mozzman.
Individually each are worth stopping whatever you are doing and listen. Together, they are a symphony. Miss both of them but it's amzing how long Howard has been gone. Both are great, but Ali is the GREATEST.

They had enough respect for each other to banter that way, as we English see.

He was more than a boxer.

He was a really myth, bigger than any other boxers.

Amen! @jason lowery
The only time I paid attention, only to look at the beautiful Ali 💕
Cosell
Muhammad was the greatest because he had to overcome so much, and yet rose above the tribulations he faced.
*Man, back then when sports personalities were actually really entertaining!*
The greatest of all times not only as a boxer but as a leader of people white and black. Muhammad Ali will go down in history as truly the greatest of all times four people.

So true.
Well said, Historyden! I was blessed enough to grow up watching their relationship flourish. Indeed, we will never again see such a relationship.
