The real greats always put education over sports, because they know not everyone can be like them, Ali, Khabib, Ronaldo all of them understand that whatever field you are in- hard work is priority
"I don't want him to even think about sports" is not the best attitude. Sports are a great form of exercise, and a healthy body is important for a healthy mind too. Also, young boys got energy they need to burn if you want them to settle down and read. However, as far as becoming a professional athlete, very few can pull that off, so yes, education and practical long term goals are very important
@@stephenolder4552 yes I think ali didnt stop his kids from playing sports from some of his family pictures I've seen. But education should be the priority
Woody was known as pretty athletic in his youth, but wisely he realized that would not be his selling point on screen so he played himself off as a gym reject.
What a lost opportunity. Ali was a very intelligent person that seemed ready for an intelligent conversation. They should have discussed and expanded on his thoughts about getting a good education and such. All he ended up with was typically silly stupid banter from the guests and interviewer. He looked ready to leave in about a minute or less.
Thank u VERY much for sayin that! I’m NOT a fan of Cavett’s style of interviewing. I would’ve loved to hear more bout that too. To me he comes off as someone that does NOT know how to interview black people.
@@ghanasoul That is very possible. He does not take Mohammed Ali very seriously at all. It seems as though Ali was trying to send a very important message at a very critical time. Instead, that message was lost in Cavett's, Keaton's and Allen's silliness. Some of his interviews with other public figures were very good and thought provoking. However, too often he tries to be "cute". To me this did not work in the early 70's any better than it does today.
Ali and Cavet were good friends and he was on the show several times. This is just one of the lower energy shows. They literally have a documentary that shows their friendship.
@@geesemanray7434 I had to look this up. I guess they were good friends. So maybe I took what was going on here the wrong way. This particular interview still seemed sloppy to me, at least what was shown. Maybe things became a bit more intelligent later in the interview.
@G.I. Joe Tyrone People like you will never see greatness in there lifetime always picking out the worst in people have you ever done something bad that your ashamed of or regret? Dont judge others when you aren't perfect yourself
@G.I. Joe Tyrone Im watching an idiot on the internet telling lies to make himself look good when in reality he probably lives in some 3rd world country that has no electricity no clean water about 20 odd people crammed in a tiny shed with no front door.Thats pretty hilarious.You?.....Gotcha.
do have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like all the other Dick Cavett shows on TH-cam.
This was pretty interesting as Ali was being fairly quiet here, he didnt seem in a clowning around mood until he lightened up a bit at the end. He did a few good intereviews when like that, but here is an example of when they expected a clowing around Ali but he was having none of it pretty much ignoring Woody Allen. Ali just acted how he felt, no nonsence.
@@ascendantking2178 And Doyle Brunson (poker legend) told his son never to play, and his son went into the hof in that "sport". Kids are more likely to see what you do rather than listen to what you say, plus most talent is genetic.
Can't ever get enough of Ali. His cadence, his intelligence, his word choice, everything is so unique.
Cannot believe this interview is 49 years old. How is that possible that I watched this when it was first on tv?
you watched this when it was on live tv? omg wow
do you remember whaat you were thinking
Same here bro. I always found Ali to be a lovable guy.
it's possible because you're old! If I'm around in 49 years, i'll be old for having watched this when it was first on youtube.
"If he EVER recuperates from that last fight"
Some gentle Psi-Ops from Ali. He was just warming up.
World will never see like you again 😢
Ali❤ Greatest

@@ascendantking2178 his daughter Laila retired undefeated and world champion
Yh exactly we should not be copying the greats who succeeded instead we should see what we r good at personally
“It crushes me that you don’t know about my prowess.” I choked! Bless.
sat next to Woody Allen
could have punched his lights out
Muhammed Ali is the best boxer all of time.
I’d say Mike Tyson. And so did Ali.
@@SelectaWaynazz .. and Tyson said Ali was.
@@SelectaWaynazz 6losses and still the greatest??
@@zach-iq9xy without a shadow of a doubt
@@SelectaWaynazz Ali has never lost to the same opponent more than once. While Tyson has
THE GREATEST
Wee want all Ali videos
Such a rare man.so much more than a great boxer
After hearing about Woody being a boxer 3:19 Ali first giving him the elevator, and then keeps starring at Woody's hands 😂
Woody was known as pretty athletic in his youth, but wisely he realized that would not be his selling point on screen so he played himself off as a gym reject.
Wow, The "Champ" made Dick and Woody look like munchkins filming the Wizard of Oz!!
I used to listen to Jim Rome on the radio a lot. The best sports interviews were boxers and golfers.
MORE ALI
!!

I drifted off and realized they were still joking about cavett and Allen being boxers

Too bad there aren’t role models of his caliber today.
A prophet is never respected in his own country, in his own time.

@G.I. Joe Tyrone I wouldn’t see him as a role model but I’d definitely give him a high 5.

@G.I. Joe Tyrone you realize that ali regretted and apologized for all of this. His wives forgave him as well as his own kids so why u mad.
i love him
Where can I find the full interview. Please 🙏
Another rare video 🐐🥶
Muhammad Ali is a gift to the world!
1 n All Muhammad Ali ❤️ the Champ the Goat 🐐
the other two guests are annoying. woody allen giving Ali advice on how to fight frazier?
Ali shoulve told Allan to stick to playing with kids
Show some class woody proved his innocence too bad Ali never knocked out Mia
The safest boxing occurs at the local grocery store.
Is this channel ever going to show Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason and/or Art Carney? I don’t have the Decades channel at all.

And, he anhialated Frazier too, and he did it AGAIN
brilliant man !!!
Awesome!
How old was Muhammad Ali in this video ?
His son was just born when he had the interview; in 1972. Ali was born in 1942. So he was thirty.
Vision is looking good here lol

الله يرحمك يا كلاي
leatherman was young
Ali w Woody Allen.
Well somebody better tell Lala lol
This is why I prefer to watch 70 stuff bach on, the shows were classy and well behaved. 80's on they became noisy and nonesense.
Well, that plan didn’t work out so well. I’m sure he was proud of Laila Ali.
He told her to not box because she might get hurt but I read her book and she said she didn't litsen
