ABC Wide World of Sports
As a build-up for their rematch, Howard Cosell sits down with Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier to review their first fight from 1971. Tension builds and eventually erupts.
The day after the studio brawl the New York State Athletic Commission fined both Ali and Frazier $5,000 a piece.
Two day later Ali would avenge his first career loss as he won the rematch with a 12-round unanimous decision over Frazier.

Ali - 'MONDAY NIGHT, BOY!'
Frazier - 'YEAH, YOU BE THERE!'
Ali - 'MONDAY NIGHT!'
Frazier - 'YOU BE ON TIME!'
You couldn't write it. Just brilliant.
58:00
These two were honestly just the best. Both immortals in the sport.
56:00 is when the fight starts taking off... thank me with likes please... I need them to feel good about myself
What's interesting is that there is a about a one minute screen blackout before the brawl takes place.
You are stupid, a boxing match is judged from round 1, highlights can never capture a boxing fight, ali mosyly dominated the first 10 rounds, as soon as you pointed to your point in time it was 50/50
Little Jimmy Scumbag you did great. This is the actual entire telecast. I've never seen the entire telecast, just the scuffle. Don't know how in the hell you retrieved this. Thanks a lot. This is boxing history.
Little Jimmy Scumbag hhah likede this comment
thanks was hoping one of u would post that as thats what i was lookin for
The way Howard Cossell goes into commentary mode when the brawl occurs always has me laughing.
Me too!😂😂😂
I love Howard Cossell bless his heart
This is 1 of the greatest things I've ever seen and yes that's 1 of the reasons why lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another day at the office. Lmao
Love how Ali is so bold and honest with both of them. No fighter today is as authentic as Ali.
Because they are all painted black sell outs , all fakes , especially those disgusting rappers !
Ali was a shameless liar.
He lost that fight, but is too narcissistic to admit it.
@@EiziEizz Bingo! Best comment!
@Ghost _*_ I'm sick of seeing every soccer mom, Tom, Dick and Harry calling people the clinically diagnosed narcissistic personality disorder NPD on a daily. Borderline personality Disorder, Antisocial Personaliry Disorder, Psychopathic etc.
So many laymen using these disorders to label people.
They don’t make them like these two anymore
Joe...."he can't carry his hands high, he just can't do it"
Ali....."yeah...and you can't back up"
Joe....(looks at Ali like he is crazy) "I don't plan on backing up"!
Classic
Howard cosell the great announcer, keeps giving the play by play while there fighting in the studio.
Ha, ha, ha! That's a good one. No! He never dropped his microphone even for the purpose of breaking it up.
I almost expected him to start yelling "Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!"
Right?! He was the badass of announcers!
lol. it is true!
Naught 4Sale 😂🤣😂
I was 10 when they had this fight and was training to be a boxer I ended up boxing in the pros and because of that, I was able to interact with both of these great fighters many years later. They were both inspirational to me and millions of others across the world.
Most people don't realize this, but this was the very first live "Real-TV" event in television history. I was thirteen years old and I watched this with my two older brothers and my father. When Joe stood up over Ali and they began to tussle while the cameras rolled, we were in absolute SHOCK. We had NEVER seen anything like this. Ali and Frazier are the pioneers of "Real-TV". 😃
I watched it live as well-I thought it was crazy at 10 years old
I saw it as a small child too, but just about everyone, including Cosell, thought at first that it was a put on to hype the upcoming bout. But then you could see, as Cosell remarked, that Joe was indeed serious and really angry. I suppose that Joe had some insecurities about his lack of education, and when Ali called him "ignorant," he pressed the wrong button. However, it was daft on Joe's part to bring up the issue of hospitalization.
I'd go with Ruby / Oswald
Na it's definitely not the first 😂😂😂 JFK , Jack Rubie , those were all before this & they got shot on live TV fool
Na it's definitely not the first 😂😂😂 JFK , Harvey Oswald , Malcolm X , MLK , those were all before this & they got shot on live TV fool
“I went to the hospital for ten minutes, you were there for a month now be quite” - Ali the savage
All he did was tell the truth, and it was Frazier who instigated that.
@@lwmson...That's right, and Joseph William Frazier could not handle it, PERIOD!!!
LOL - Ali also had the greatest verbal skills in the history of boxing.
What counts is in the fight not the aftermath lol
@@lwmson Ali was in pain dude he left da hospital cause he didnt want Joe and da world to know how bad he fucked he him
The introduction music of ABC's Wide World Sports is so nostalgic. The world has really changed from those days.
Ali/Frazier - Two men that deeply needed each other. Two men that gave their blood and sacrificed their bodies for the sport they loved so much (and were extraordinarily good at). I don’t think we’ll ever see a rivalry as deeply personal and intense as theirs. God speed Smokin Joe, God speed Ali!
I disagree that they hated each other. Ali certainly didn't hate Frazier, and Joe deep down didn't hate Ali as much as he claimed. There's footage of him getting emotional when he talks about Ali's struggles with Parkinsons. It was just that Joe, by his own admission, was sensitive . He just took Ali's pre-fight banter too personally.
joe jones right on, plus Muhammad Ali said sorry to frazier just in case any words had hurt him inside
WE WON'T
I totally agree....you just can't mention one of these men without mentioning the other. They are forever the true faces of boxing.
@@lwmson Samuel L. didn't say they hated each other, just they they had an intense and deeply personal rivalry. There is a difference.
58:06 Ali: "Monday Night, BOY!"
Frazier : "Yeah you be there!"
Ali: "Monday Night!"
Frazier: "Yeah, you be on time!"
Frazier?
The RIVALRY! Lol
@@Kararrrr Ike ibeabuchi
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Reporter: "who was the greatest fighter you ever fought?"

He also would answer Sonny Liston. Ali was a b.s, savant.

I saw this live on T.v I was 6yrs old an all Ali vs Frazier fights I love watching Wide World of Sports every Saturday afternoon what a great privilege it was to watch with my uncle Jimmy.
These two men represented the greatest rivalry in the history of professional sports. RIP champs. ❤️❤️
Do we fully appreciate what an extraordinary piece of history this video really represents? Two of boxing's most revered and influential figures - still active athletes by the way and with so much left in them - somberly (for most part at least) and nicely dressed up commentating on beating the living hell out of one another! I mean: a situation unheard of, let alone seen! If with nothing else, Howard Cosell surely made his mark in time with this remarkable studio feature!
The BIGGEST mistake was not having Cosell sitting in between them knowing full well the highly charge feelings between the two fighters !!
The network fueled the entire thing for ratings. They knew that this kind of thing could happen by putting two great champions in a studio to analyze their own fight with their egos and pride on the line.
Cosell wasn't going to put himself in harm's way. Stupid, he wasn't.
This was reality TV, at its best...and trust ABC baited this entire thing in hopes of a reaction from either fighter.
Truth Indeed Ugh
According to Roone Arledge (who was running ABC Sports (and later ABC News) at the time), they were originally going to seat Cosell in between Ali and Frazier in case things go out of hand while showing the film of the 1971 fight, but went against it.
Ali was playing. Joe wasn't.
ikr, ali was tryna wrestle with Joe as a joke but Joe was fed up with all of joe's ridicule of him so thus the overreaction.
Quick Joe!
Ali shouldn’t have did Joe like that playing or not.
Yup. That's it.
@@bossplayermfs5972 there's a reason McGregor is the richest ufc fighter . Yoh have to talk smack if you wanna make money in the fight business. People like you are so boring according to you every fighter should be quiet and humble and have no fun
Love this!!!! i really LOVE that you kept the commercials!!! Thank you; you get a like and subscription for that!
you would like these corny 1970 commercials you dumb idiot
jaroncreed shut the fuck up troll
Sarah Minifie Absolutely Classic 🌈I’m 57 now and loved ALL of this ! ⭐️💖
I'm a '90s kid, but it's always nice to see the original commercials. They're a piece of history.
@@jaroncreed how is she dumb?
Joe was amazing in all 3 of the fights.. I always thought joe was a classy guy.. very likeable
until you start insulting him
To say this is classic is an understatement, and the commercials included to boot!thank you very much 4 unloading
ABC Wide World of Sports was very popular and big back in the 1960's and 1970's it covered alot sports!.
Yeah ABC'S Wide World of Sports was the original sports center...before ESPN.
Ali understood the art of marketing. Frazier didn't and took things personally
I mean if you were on the receiving end you too would get pissed, but you're right joe just overreacted to the taunts
lovell brooks ...Ali was a self-promoter.
I agree. The problem was that Frazier couldn't see beyond Ali's fight promotional tactics, something that he applied to most of the guys he fought. Joe took it all too seriously, even though he would always dis Ali by calling him "Clay."
maybe, but there are limits. The whole 'it was just for publicity' excuse is overused at times. Ali didnt like it when fighters called him 'Clay' for example. Nah nah its just for publicity....
@@marcgreaves4354 But where do you set the limit? Or to put it another way, how did Ali go "too far" with Frazier?
This was as real as sports gets...a piece of History for sure. This is why they were the best sports rivals of all time, individual or team
The subtle trash talking during the replay is brilliant and speaks volumes on how Ali did mind games.
I like how Cosell was a friend of Ali, but he never let Ali off the hook on certain questions.
True friend
17:30 -- A sullen Ali, watching the fight, angry at himself: "Never will I be clowning in the ropes again... Just too much talking and clowning!" ... And after a long pause, Joe's comment: " When he got hit with all those left hooks and body shots, I guess he was just -- clowning. ... He clown when he got hit!"... Two legends. You got to love both these men!!
I was born in 1963, this stuff is GOLD, we took it for granted, it come on Saturday afternoon, great times!
B G - Just like people now are taking Lebron for granted.
@@JelaniB28 fuck LeBron he's an over paid slave who is controlled by his masters. lebron is nothing to miss and he's definitely not for the people.
Thank you for uploading this! Also, as others have said, thank you for keeping the commercials intact. BRAVO!!!
It’s like time travelling :)
Ali's commentary gives good insight as to why he was such a brilliant fighter.
I am 55 now and this was CLASSIC !! * I loved WWof Sports every Saturday with Cosell !! ....Ali was 1000% RIGHT after Joe left, about bringing it up in the first place !! Also about when Cosell did use the word devil.....Ali was a DEEP , EMOTIONAL MAN and that's why I LOVE the man even more these 40+ years later !! * ALWAYS STICK UP FOR YOURSELF, that's ! what I learned from this beautiful SOUL !!
Yes, we can see his noble side, and he does have a beautiful soul, but he disappoints us almost every time (until he was much older and wiser). I really hate to say it, but his influence on his generation and the one directly under him, was immense, and in my opinion, vastly negative. He was the HERO of so many, and can you imagine what the world would be like if everyone were so arrogant, bigoted, so full of hate? Does the legacy of Jim Crow Laws explain and justify this kind of behavior? If so, when will we ever, ever be free? The 'devil' is the anger, the hatred itself, on all sides. Centuries from now, if the human race survives, we will look back on this with sad, incredulous irony- grown men being paid huge sums to injure each other physically , emotionally, and yes, mentally as well. How crudely, how low can humanity sink into the mire?
@@denniscannon769 excellent point 👀
Back when boxing was more of a relevant sport. I still love boxing, but the popularity has declined because of pay-per-view Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier were American icons now nobody knows or cares who the heavyweight champion of the world It is sad because boxing is a great and noble sport
Those two brothers brought out more than anything America could produce💪🏿🙏🏿
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The agony of defeat is the reason I never took up skiing.
Good one
Does anything ever phase Howard? He keeps commentating during the whole fight lol
Dats cause it's fake
@@coreysmith1338 stupid
@@coreysmith1338honestly watching this a few times, I came to the conclusion it wasn’t fake . Joe really couldn’t handle words or jokes,, his way of dealing with things were with his arms. He snapped
I saw this when it originally aired. Classic!
Rip Ali, Frazer and Cossell
MAN!! This brings back alot of memories.
I love joe.... Ali says “ you can’t back up”. Joe - “ I’m not planning on backin up”. Truer words were never spoken.. joe Frazier was all heart..forward pressure until u fold or u knock him out... he was a man... a good man..
As great as this interview is, the Ads from the 70s is a whole different experience.
I remember watching this at age 12 or 13 Ali and Frazier shook the world in 71!!!!
"Sit down quick Joe!"

Love how Ali just fought with Frazier and right after that acted as if nothing happened continuing the interview 😂 lol what a Goat
yeah but like a punk Ali waited until Joe was distracted to jump him
EPIC!!! THE GREATEST NO DOUBT. ALI IS THE BEST ENTERTAINER, HE CARRIED JOE. GOT TO GIVE ALI PROPS FOR THE MASTER PROMOTER. HE GAVE JOE LOVE. HE SAVED FRASIER FROM MAJOR DAMAGE WITH THE MEN UPSTAIRS. CAUSE JOE WAS GONNA SWING. ALI BEAR HUGGED HIM TO STOP HIM FROM LETTING HIS COMPULSIVENESS RUIN HIM. ITS JUST PART OF THE BIZNESS, SELLING HIMSELF FOR MAXIMUM DOLLAR
@@brianseneca3546 brian, with much respect. Ali didnt want it ti go that far. Joe was mad and ali new he pushed to much. Joe was a blink away from really getting himself and his career in deep doo doo. If Ali didnt mouth of the south him. They wouldnt fill the seats. He was on it. Now with this being said, i was once an Ali hater. Couldnt stand the mouth of the south.but after studing and losing money. I see said the blind man. Got to market. Got to pay attention, stay on toes. Otherwise what u got . A boring fight
@@richardotero2376 I agree with most everything you said except that they wouldnt fill seats. WIth Norton or Ellis or Shavers yes. But after the first fight on March 8 1971 EVERYONE was tuning in. But I do agree that Ali didnt want it go that far you tell by his demanor
@33:34 Ali - “Look at Joe Frazier’s head now.”
Joe - “Which one you talking about ?” 😂😂😂
love both these legends
I wish I grew up during the 70s. My generation sucks . RIP Ali and Frazier both strong and handsome men❤
You wanna be alive in a time of racism and war. Nice
@@Darko1.0 don't be so serious. We are still experiencing war, racism and segregation today. If you want to be typical.
@@Darko1.0 we’re literally living in a time of racism and war right now. Where have you been? 😂
I agree with them being strong but there was nothing handsome about Joe Frazier 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I cannot help watching this without thinking how phenomenal both of them truly were.
You crazy, Frazier, fought the 3 fights exactly the same ... no style, he lost all 3 fights , but because Ali turned Muslim , they made him loose this fight , that's why that c nt announcer keeps on probing him with, Ali '' you were fatigued '' ... I hate all media, and the ''boy's'' they use
@@mutanazublond4391 That’s how you know it was personal for Frazier. And nah Frazier deserved to have won that first fight.
@@mutanazublond4391 the media back then was the worst we can agree there but this man is iconic to me for all the times I’ve heard his voice growing up haha
When you start speaking in terms of ring 'immortals', those two are in there.
Ali had a point. Joe brought up the hospital, not Ali.
These days, heavyweight boxing looks like a damn dance contest these days. These guys gave it everything they had.
The quality and skill isn't there either. These two immortals had that. Their fights were such good fights from that perspective as well, the quality of the boxing.
I just wanna say I’m 28 and from Ireland and I wanna say to the person who created the intro who’s probably no longer with us any more 😂😂 but I wanna say thank you for showing our sport Hurling which is an Irish sport GAA, we have GAA Football and hurling, but this long ago to put an Irish sport on a foreign television, especially America, is near unheard of, first time for me anyway ❤️❤️❤️
Two of a kind Joe and Ali. Love em both
It was a completely stupid thing for Frazier to say- that Ali had gone to the hospital.
Frazier went to the Hospital for one week, and then returned to the hospital for three more weeks.
And because he had such bad brain concussion his body was shutting down. And without a month of care he would have died. Ali went to have his jaw checked, and then he went home.
Dats not true read up about it Ali left cause he didnt want Joe and da rest of da world to know wat happen to him look it up
@@coreysmith1338 That's bullshit. All you have to do is look at their faces after the fight and you can see who endured the most damage. All Ali had was a puffed jaw but Frazier's entire head was swollen like a balloon.
joe jones Ali lost
@@TheSands83 It depends on how you look at it. If you place great emphasis on knockdowns, you would go with Frazier. But if you go on connected punches, you'd go with Ali, because he had the most. But Ali won the subsequent two rematches.
@@coreysmith1338 What kinda ignorant statement is this.... Ali landed more punches and was definitely not as badly hurt as Frazier. Frazier spent a month because he was physically hurt. Frazier didn’t want Ali to know how badly damaged he was so he took the punishment.... but his body told him different once he went to the hospital. For a short amount of time he was close to death.... Ali even stated if he dies he would never box again. So know your facts before you sumn ignorant like that 👆🏾 C’mon bruh lol....
"... and the agony of defeat." I remember hearing this so many times as a kid in the 70s.
what do you expect to happen when you have two world champions in a studio calling their fight with egos and careers on the line?
Smokin'Joe was a fighting machine that night.
Cosell was one tough S.O.B. too ! WW2 vet 💪 always talked back to Ali , but when it was all said and done, they both loved each other 💕
Ha ha Ali calling out Cosell for having no muscles or physical contact with anything in his life!
Vio
Lol
47:49 Joe's a good man.
I think the reason for Ali's insults (which he took too far) were to obtain a psychological edge over Frazier but I don't think he meant them.
I always had the impression that Ali liked Joe Frazier.
Kinda appreciate the ads
The ads suck
The ads are fantastic! I've grown up with a Head and a Hogan account at my family sporting goods business. I'm definitely going to show these to my parents. Incredible.
Those crap cars killed the US auto industry.
Live these ads, safe childhood times
Cosell and ABC totally wanted this to happen for ratings. Please. Two people known to hate each other reviewing their whole fight, sitting next to each other. What a setup.
Nah, Joe was really pissed. I suppose he had some insecurities about being uneducated, and when Ali tapped his weakness by calling him "ignorant," Joe lost it. But the truth is that Joe did instigate that, and for him to tease someone about going into the hospital, especially when it was him and not Ali who spent quality time there, was a less than intelligent thing to do.
Nahh.. in all honesty.. Frazier won the fight 'Fair & Square.
I'm a massive Ali fan,, but watching this.. It's clear to see Frazier as the constant aggressor.
P.S... The cameraman should be awarded for capturing every angle of this.
What people dont know is that Ali was saving his brother. Joe was gonna hit him and Ali saw that jumped up and grabbed him.
But ali's brother knows how to fight too he is a boxer too...didnt he?
@@almercyyou2971 Joe Frazier is a different animal.
@@anthonycampos8057 yeah but in reality is a different story too..outside the Ring...
@@almercyyou2971 Joe frazier would've broke his jaw. Muhammad could handle him but his brother couldn't.

What a great video this one s, almost like in a time machine.
Thank you so much.
This was Fraziers last good fight. Ali, destroyed him physically after this fight. Frazier was never the same.
true //he only boxed 11 more bouts Ali boxed 30
Other than Ali Frazier 3.
These were the best days to be alive and to watch these fights we were so fortunate and to have wild world of sports man it was the best time for TV it was the best time for boxing there will never be anything else like it better and those two men there's nothing you can say they made sports entertainment what it is today they made boxing they made it all worth watching
There was always this friction between Howard and Ali that was so real and funny
Shawn title you're not as dumb as you look.
Damn!!!! A Ben Hogan commercial.
"Sit down quick Joe!!!!"- Muhammad Ali
Poor Ali and Frazier really beat the shit out of each other, you could tell they got emotional in their interviews
As much as I love Ali, he was very harsh verbally towards Frazier
RedlineS2K same. I felt really bad for Frazier considering how much he helped out Ali, when Ali was broke
steve l "considering how much he helped out Ali, when Ali was broke" .. what do you mean ??? if you hint the story hwere joe went to the white house asking to richard nixon to let ali box..it was to box against ali and win money so he had interest... what you mean jo helped ali?
when Ali was prohibited from Boxing, it was Joe Frazier who helped him get back. Lent him money, gave him emotional support, and worked behind the scenes to get Ali back to the ring! Ali was broke and by this time.
do you have any sources please ??? i m very curious about his life and i never found that jo frazier supported ali
I know when Ali called Joe "ignorant " on this telecast, Joe was actually the instigator. He started it by trying to tease Ali about going to the hospital after the first fight.
self confidence + positive personality + Leader= Muhammad Ali
B.S.artist + Fake Legacy+ usefull idiot= Muhammed Ali.
I love how ALI, Foreman and Fraizer became great friends
Friends?? LOL watch the documentary "Thrilla in Manila"...Frazier hated Ali till his death!! he humiliated Frazier by calling him "Gorilla" 20.000 times, "uncle Tom" ,"traitor to the black people" even Frazier's children had problems with other kids at school for those words.Frazier helped Ali at his worst moments , he helped to recover his boxing license when he was suspended and with money...and Ali was very disrespectful , Ali crossed the line with Frazier, and Frazier never, forgave Ali! and I understand him

The strength and ability of these men to endure the physical punishment demonstrated / dished out in this fight was incredible and extraordinary. Their boxing styles were very, very different and a testament to their conditioning, skills, determination and pride. As Elmer Anderson wrote Smokin'Joe was a fighting machine that night. However in my opinion so was Ali. As BVT wrote "I cannot help watching this without thinking how phenomenal both of them truly were."
Roland
This is the biggest event in show business 24:00 You will never have another show this great.
Never seen an Ali fight where he set to punch with such punishing power as this one. The beating Frazier got was unreal even though he gave a lot back. For me this was the most brutal of the 3 fights especially for joe.

This episode was broadcast on ABC'S WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS, two days before the Ali-Frazier II fight.
He's calling the scuffle just like the fight in the ring 😆
I remember watching this on ABC's Wide World of Sports (which was the best sports tv back in the day) and it still is just as good to watch after all these years, but to me this was a "disaster waiting to happen", here you have the two best heavyweights of that time sitting next to each other for over an hour (Cosell should have been in between them) watching and commenting on their first closely contested title fight, only days before the rematch, and no one thought this might get heated ??? there was no real security there to stop this scuffle and thankfully no one got hurt and the rematch went on as scheduled, in my opinion Joe won the first fight and Ali won the rematch, truly great stuff from the 70's !
Despite the harsh words of Ali to get press for the fights. He genuinely admired Frazier and it’s apparent even with the tussle on stage
I believe they became friends afterwards!
@@chairlesnicol672they were the best of collectively admiring that they're trilogy the greatest in boxing's history
Epic rivalry!!!!
It's true what Joe says.. He did win the best fight of all time.. Ali was the greatest. In many many ways, yet I am so happy for Joe. He won the greatest fight of all time.. without Joe frazier, this golden age of boxing would not have happened..This is wonderful footage..boxing as an exciting spectacle was ruling the sporting world..blessed with truely amazing fighters in the heavyweight and middleweight divisions. What an era. . Rest in Peace Muhammed and Joe. X
It wasn't the best fight of all time. It was the most hyped fight in history.
@@lwmson dude if not the best fight top 5 at least
That fight or the fight in Manilla are the two best. Flick a coin.
You're absolutely right. There will never be a bigger fight.
38:34 Ali Wanted To Give A Piece Of Advice To Us Young People But Joe And Howard Interrupted His Words And I'm Angry I Couldn't Hear It Till The Last
He made an advice like this before, its probably to those who are trying to become athletes. He said it before, he said have a plan b, an education, don't gamble like I did, it worked out for me and It might not workout for you. That was the gist of the message. That's probably the advice he was going to say.
I hope you also tagged this as vintage commercials compilation.
Joe was very ignorant to bring up hospital. He almost died and had tremendous head trauma and concussions. His strategy to just move forward and take 5 punches to maybe get one off took its toll on his brain. Many say Ali was never the same after the thrilla in manilla. I say frazier was never the same after Ali vs Frazier I
You do realise that Ali clinched Frazier 131 times in Ali vs. Frasier II, right. A decision that was hotly contested due to Ali’s conduct. You also realise that Frasier was practically blind in Manila. Once you watch those fights, you realise there is only one fighter in the ring. The other is dancing, trash talking, hanging on the ropes and clinching.
@@anwla I absolutely agree. Ali also lost the third fight as well. He wouldn’t have went out after the 14th round. He was telling Dundee to cut his gloves off. He was done...
@@anwla Thank you.

@@jklsr55if you truly believe Ali wouldn't have finished the 15th round then you probably believe urinal cakes are edible cake.. joe was done swinging at air stumbling around looking all mashed in the face let's be real
I have to say, the fight was all Frazier's fault. Ali had just been praising him and talking about how great it was to have two black men in the middle of something as great as this, when Frazier ignorantly brought up the hospital visits.
I was watching a title fight I can't remember exactly which one but Ali&Frazier were in the audience sitting together admiring that their presence had the entire arena mesmerized
All 3 of those fights where just unreal!!! I mean really.. af this time they didnt realize how great the next 2 fights where gonna be.the last one was in fact the best heavy weight fight ever ..
This interview shows Ali's intelligence and the way he was able to get under Joe Frazier's skin by telling him the people don't love you and everytime he said that you could tell Joe was annoyed
Most people would not call the crap coming out of Ali's mouth intelligence he could not read that's how smart he was
@@jonhaynes1577 he was dyslexic, reading has nothing to do with intelligence, what crap?I doubt you or Joe could debate with William F Buckley

Fake legacy 3 time undisputed champion of the world is fake apparently😭😭😭 not to mention what he’s most famous for which wasn’t in the boxing ring. People will remember and learn about Ali 100 years from now. Keep hating tho
@@Jeffy2387at a championship fight in Germany Ali bought all the servicemen at a nearby base tickets to the fight $14k worth. Ali's a great guy. He gained the release of 8 American hostages from Syria without journalists and fanfare just meeting with Assad himself, the hostages appeared on Nightline and thanked Ali, Ali said he wasn't going over their as a representative of any government, Ali's a great guy
Joe proved here that he was a sensitive punk. Calling Ali all kinds of names, not having one compliment towards Ali when Muhammad complimented him several times, and then foolishly bringing up the hospital thing which prompted Ali to say he was acting ignorant, and getting upset and squaring up with Ali like he was ready to fight.
They put a painting of joe hitting all with a left hook behind ali... savage
Joe y u bring up the hospital. I was in the hospital 4 10 mints, u was there 4 a month lol I love Ali
And Ali walked around like a zombie the next 30 years...
@@billieboybuddha4238 Ali walked like a world class champion. What have you ever accomplished in youre life, billy boy you are worthy of nothing you would n't cost a nothing. you hogeyed piece of shit. you shit of pig
Yeah, I think I would have called him ignorant too. Bringing that up was very stupid.
@@billieboybuddha4238 And Joe walked around in a gym in the ghetto for the next 30 years, because he was broke and had no where else to go.
@@simosimoo1559 I didnt accomplish a lot of money, or a world title, indeed, but I can say I didn't put a fellow human being and his family thru hell with so called 'innocent teasing' and 'playful humiliation' . You have no idea what the Frazier family had to go thru because of that 'friendly wonderful human being' Ali...
Ahhhh that opening brought me back 5 years old watching Saturday noon boxing matches with my dad.
A delivery style of the ring anouncer's voice sounded more impressive in the 1960s than 90s and beyond.
I love you, Ali. RIP.
Float like a butterfly sting like a bee, his hands cant hit what his eyes cant see!!! RIP Muhammad Ali!!!!
Old joe saw him pretty good in that 15 th round...left hook hooker...
Quote is by the severely underrated Bundini Brown, not the idiot narcissit Ali.
Wish we could have heavyweights like these men again, that aren't afraid of challenges and do not cherry pick opponents like alot of the guys today. These fellas would toy around with all the hw's around today.
