Insane that this interview was 34 years ago. They all still looked so young here, even Ali was able to speak pretty coherently. Holmes is the only one from this panel still alive…. May all these champs rest in peace. You will never be forgotten ❤️ 🕊️
Et Ken norton ? Il est mort ?
Holmes is only boxer on this stage still alive. Rest In peace Champs
Norton died?
I'm afraid so. Joe Frazier died in 2011 aged 67, Ken Norton in 2013 aged 70 and, of course, Muhammad Ali in 2016 aged 74. Larry Holmes is now 66.
+mike younes In 2013
George is alive and well, and is 67 years old.
Mr. Holmes is healthy, isn't he?
Muhammad Ali was always the star attraction. I am not saying that Joe Frazier and Ken Norton weren't good fighters because they were. When people came to see the Ali versus Frazier fights and the Ali versus Norton fights I would say that at least 90% of those people came to see Ali. Ali was the one who drew the crowds. Ali in his prime would have beaten Holmes no problem. Rest in peace Ken Norton. Rest in peace Joe Frazier. Rest in peace Muhammad Ali, the greatest of all time.
No doubt about that!!!!!!!!!!
4 SURE !! ....*.I am now 55 and these men are my youth !! LOVE'EM ALL !
Prime Ali would Beat any Boxer who will be Born in the Next 999999 years.
Yeah it's just a shame Ali got fooled by Islam. He should have listened to his mom she tried to warn him.
I don't agree with u
Even with Parkinson's Muhammad Ali got more personality than I ever will
dude, no you are just perfect, tranquillo amigo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don 't worry, 90% of men can say the same thing.
somalia boy because his name is mohamed ?i laugh in cambodia
@MUFC get your ass outta here
😆🤣😂
I love the fact that these brothers had and have love and respect for each other. Especially Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali. Even though they were serious rivals, They really love each other and it shows in this clip.
Ken Norton looks so cool here, I love his style
5:40 One thing I always liked about Frazier is that he gave other people credit (with the exception of Ali and we all know why). He wasn't one of those guys that had to make excuses or talk down fighters that came after him. I always noticed that with the man. Even his losses to Foreman I never heard him say anything to excuse them...
Love at 3:40 when Ali asked Frazier how'd we do it and they made that face they used to make at each other in the pre fight press conferences.
Larry Sounded Salty When The Mention Mike Tyson Name In The Mix
R.I.P SMOKIN JOE FRAZIER ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER
the greatest
Amazing that Ali still outlived Frazier. Who would've guessed it from this interview with Frazier saying he had no health issues whatsoever and Ali saying he felt old physically.
Frazier got cancer. Nothing to do with his boxing career
MoManny
Ali also outlived Ken Norton.
Capital Frazier had liver cancer. Very possible it resulted from the internally damage from
the body blows.
@@therealc.t.7085 Nope not from blows
Frazier had issues with drinking too much alchohol
He drunked liters of whiskey every day
After day in interview Joe drove car with Ali in it
They got along and Ali said that in driving he drinked 2 liters of whiskey in 15 minutes
You can find on every forum that he loved to drink too much and people who drink too much in 90% got liver cancer
Frazier was so fast I remember hearing the diagnosis and then bam, less than a few months later he's gone. Probably undiagnosed for so a long time
Joe was absolutely right when he spoke about Mike Tyson. He knew Holmes was being a little unfair to Mike and perhaps a little bitter being that Mike had nearly sent Holmes head into orbit just 1 year prior to this interview. But Joe got to see Mike Tyson up close and personal when he had to peel his son Marvis off the canvas in 1986.
Dumbass Homles wasent in prime Mike is a bitch
I wouldn't say unfair just bitter. Everytime Mike got to someone top in his Era he got ran over. I wish him and Roy Jones Jr fought so we could see if Roy's tactics would overcome Mike's aggression
A little? Very unfair and very bitter. That's what stopped him from being popular, his bitter and arrogant personality
Yeah Ali gave him one hell of a look.
@@skinking2252 agree 💯 Larry Holmes is a bitter sore loser.
i love the way ali and fraizer still have that bit of rivalry going.ali is still young mentally king of the one liners lightning quick witted
The fact that Joe Frazier was blind in one eye all his life is mind-blowing.
He was partially blind in one eye. Not completly blind.
B.s. So Ali just hit him in the bad eye.Get your facts straight.@@edernomelenko
Ali was nearly 39 years old when he lost to Holmes, beat Fraizer twice, and beat Norton twice despite being significantly pasted his prime (he was 35 in their last fight). So even though he technically lost to everyone on the pannel, he had winning records against 2 of the 3 men and only a fool would give that Holmes fight any thought. A 1968 Ali would wipe the floor with Holmes without question. I would even say a 1975 Ali would beat him down (remember their fight was in October of 1980, a solid 9-10 years past Ali's prime). People need to get their facts straight before they try to put a champion down.
Also the fact that Ali retired 2 years prior to the Holmes fight and only took the fight because he was offered 8 million for the fight and no one from his camp wanted him to turn it down because of the money. It was a fight that should never have taken place.
Frazier is a legend and their first fight was one of the greatest in boxing history.
And Ali was diagnosed with parkinson
True that bruz. I reckon even a 1975 or less Ali would've defeated Holmes!
There is no way holmes would've beaten the ali in his 20's 30's NO WAY! that fight with ali should never have taken one because he ws ill and two he was to old
all of these guys are legends~
thanks for putting this up
if this interview happened some years later than the interviewer himself would not get a single chance to speak forget about the rest of people... it would be ALI dominating everyone ... The true champ, my hero, THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME Muhammad Ali 💪
I like how Ali and Frazier respected Tyson, holmes on the other hand...
Holmes was fresh after fighting him, he's a lion, he still has pride.
It's really great to see these Champions together again.
Respect to all of these great men, age caught up with them and sickness, god bless you all.
I so miss Ali and Joe!
As I watch this in November of 2022, I can't help but to think of how fragile and limited life is. The only man out of the four in that interview that's still alive is Larry Holmes. Those men sacrificed much to be considered great. To see them deteriorate was/is saddening.
Thanks for the elaborated analysis of the Holmes Tyson situation.
RIP Smoke and Kenny.
hammer44head and Ali
yes, and now Ali sleeps also, RIP.
Interviewer is provoking 3 wrong men sitting beside Ali. Ever he wondered if one of them stood up and landed a punch for disrespecting them. Even Ali would have said, ' He deserved it'.
I know right that interviewer asked some stupid questions filled with disrespect, stupid guy.
Ali iz the greatest of all time..
I used to love Ali as a kid but looking at him as an adult, Ali was not even the greatest in the heavyweight division let alone all time. Louis, Walcott and Marciano were equal to Ali in their prime but Ali might have given them a close run for their money and might have beaten Marciano because he had a style that suited Ali. Ali before 1969 was superb but still not the greatest but should have beaten Walcott but not Louis. Sugar Ray Robinson was the best of all time - just from the number of fights he had and the skill and punching power he displayed against all-comers. Ali knew how to use PR and publicity which got him tv time and pupularity. He had one dubious points decision in his prime but at least three dubious decisions after 1971.
c23e You are crazy to think any of those 3 could beat ali in his prime
c23e How the hell would Louis beat a prime Ali??? He was a plodder....and all of Louis' contemporaries in his time were slow flat footed fighters.....First fighter he fought that had footwork was Walcott...and he struggled mightily...albeit Louis was past his prime....Louis would never catch him....A Young Louis got starched by Schmeling....THAT Louis would get annihilated by Ali....he would get KO'ed late...Louis didn't have the greatest chin....Walcott??? PUHLEASE...he was a smaller version of Ali....and less hand speed....
We are talking about boxing - where anything can happen. If you look at the stats then Marciano was the best but I don't think he was - though he always got up from a knockdown and finished off the job. Louis was caught out by schmeling as an up and coming boxer.. Look at the difference between their first fight and the second. Fight one went 12 rounds but by the rematch schmeling could only last 1 round so shows how much Louis improved. Louis only lost that one fight in his prime and always came back against opponents. Ali after his return just did not have the speed and timing - that was his major strength. Frazier beat him easily in their first fight. Norton beat Ali all three times (and I never liked Norton). It is always a question of styles make fights - that's why Norton could last 39 rounds with Ali but only 1 with Foreman or Shavers or Cooney. Ali would have struggled against a prime Walcott but would have gone either way. I haven't even mentioned the likes of Jack Johnson who was unbeaten in his prime and only lost when he was an old man fighting more than 40 rounds. Ali was great but not the greatest. Unfortunately we live in an age of hype where those who generate the publicity and can be funny and entertaining are rated higher than they deserved. Ali used to pour scorn on Louis saying how he ended up a broke bum - but look what happened to Ali. And he got ripped off by the great crook Don King, not once but time and again and ended up broke. Ali was not even a good man - look at how he treated Frazier (even after Frazier helped him out financially when he was broke; he cheated on all his wives; and followed the warped teachings of elijah muhammed and betrayed Malcolm X. Given all the power and fame and wealth that Ali had, he could have achieved so much more. We should be arguing about what great educational establishments he helped set up etc It's hard trying to place fighters out of their time and era against other fighters 9 who are often different sizes and weights) but you can only really look at them in their own era and see what they achieved.
c23e I understand all of that...but every fight of alis u brought were AFTER his exile...which wasn't a prime ali. The first fight with schmeling was VERY close to louis' prime. And as far as the post exile ali...he wasn't as fast....but he was a stronger fighter. The 74 ali that beat foreman to me was almost as good as the late 60s ali...as far as walcott...he didn't even hit as hard as ali...wasn't as fast...and was 20 pounds LIGHTER....with about a 5-6 inch reach disadvantage. Which means he would have to come to ali in order to hit him...and that wasn't his style..if they stayed on the outside walcott has no way of touching ali. Listen louis was a great fighter....one of the greats of time. But as u kinda said..styles makes fights. Go back and watch the fighting styles of every fighter louis fought in his prime. They all had one thing in common....STATIONARY TARGETS. The ali of 66-67 ( reference Cleveland williams)...would have too much hand speed and foot movement.
3 out of 4 sound punch drunk...these dudes went through wars! RIP
R.I.P ( SMOKING ) JOE FRAZIER
FORMER UNDISPUTED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION
What a grate Boxer’s. They are legend’s for ever. There names always will stay for ever in Boxing history as the best Fighter’s ever. Cheers
Larry Holmes had the greatest jab in the history of boxing. His jab was his strong punch.
Where you rank hearn’s jab
Ali - "Speak for yourself" - when they were on about Tyson
Yes :)
Having watched all of these fights and then some, I think that Tyson at his absolute prime was the only unstoppable fighter. I don't think any boxer, at any point in history could have taken Tyson when he was at his peak.
@@pleasuretokill blah, Bruno hit him and Tyson was stunned but didnt finished him, those guys would destroy him in that situation
@@wyspy3079 you taking bout bruno Mars right... Get Real man Tyson smoked him
@@pleasuretokill oh come on man. he was at his peak when buster douglas knocked him out. ali at his peak would have beaten tyson before they even got in the ring. he would mentally break him down before physically
gotta love Joe.
I was 3 when this interview aired love seeing the retro commercials
ali will remain the greatest even if he is gone
Omg I remember that MJ and James Worthy commercial when I was a kid but i forgot about it! The Robitussin as well. Man, time flies!
What an amazing and historic interview! in this year I was nineteen, today fifty-four, and of these four legends only Holmes is still alive
I don't know any of boxing sportsman of today's time but i am keen to listen lot many of that time..... Because Of Ali ....
At 5:15 when Larry Holmes said "Mike Tyson who?" Bryant Gumble almost said "you know, the guy who knocked you the fuck out!'
I also loved the character of Ken Norton , hes awesomeee
like frazier said and ali said in another interview : tyson is a monster and deserves his credit
may not be in the top 5 of p4p , but defintely is an all time great
THREE OF MY IDOLS
R.I.P. Joe Frazier and Ken Norton.
R.I.P Ali 😢
r.i.p joe frazier
I came for the interviews, I stayed for the commercials!
Great video friend. Thank you for posting. I subscribed to your wonderful channel. Thanks, maurice
Look... 2:15 Ali raised his right hand up and pointed his middle Fimger at Bryant Gumble. Lmao
Thank God for TH-cam it gives kids an opportunity to see the greatest boxer in the world
without Ali they will be nothing at all
shut up
That's Only true for Ken Norton
+L Rodd ur right..he woyld be known but not as famous without ali..Holmes and Joel we're legends in their own right without ali
+Marco Cano thanks Marco.
I said that because, Ken Norton was a relatively obscure boxer until he upset Ali. Ken had a very average career and didn't do a lot apart from beating Ali. Ken never won the WBC title it was awarded to him, and lost that title in his first defence. All this means was Norton had Ali's number and that's his claim to fame.
ALI Changed boxing he bought a lot of attention to it fact
Great moment with all four of these legends. This video could use captions though.
Greatest for all time Ali
All of these guys are known because they were an oponnent of Muhammad Ali.
Nina Duran Norton beat Ali twice.
rapmann not even in your dream bitch, Ali won all 3 times.
Nina Duran bravo
No habla espanol English por favor estupido
***** and remeber ali beating norton
RIP to the two greatest Legends of all time :(
3 NORTON, FRAZIER, AND NOW ALI
Edward Brady evryone forgets about Norton... thats sad
They all love Ali really coz they know that their era of heavyweight boxing was defined by him and they were an integral part of it.
Great Boxers Great Personalities...Thank You, GOD, that we could know them...
great doc
Four of the greatest fighters ever who fought in the most competitive time in boxing history. They're only missing George Foreman. Agree with Larry, any four of them could have beaten Tyson in their prime. Foreman too.
I love this interview before Ali got bad I love him! The greatest of ALL Times!!
Loved the advertisements
Ali & Joe and Foreman are true legends in boxing and their life time full of achaivements
RIP ALI, Norton and Frazier
Frazer was always my favourite
The Eastern Assassin was underrated and very dangerous with his jab setup.
I liked the commercials on the beginnig of the vídeo 👏👍 great
Ali memorable moment was wen his baby May May was born :)
Couldn't have said it better myself. I agree with everything you just said.
Like Frazier said!!Tyson was a marksmen,when he connected with that full barrage,don't care what you know,it's a wrap.
All are good fight but olne one man are star and that is the king out and in the ring muhamad ali God blees you
they are not good, they are great. Frazier and Ali are one of *THE GREATEST*
I have heard talk that Frazier hated Ali until the day he died but in every interview i've seen Frazier seems to be perfectly fine in the his presence and vise versa.
I believed that Norton beat Ali in three fights , is it just me?
Even if his son lost from Tyson, Joe respects him. What a nice guy
laughing my ass of that nobody caught that movie ad
"DAD, It touched me"
i like Joe Frazier
Born in 1980 smh...the commercials are nostalgic...i miss those days
Joe is most genuine. Gave tyson credit.
4 great fighters 4 great men.period.
i love how joe fraizer gave credit to tyson.
why does larry holmes have to be the one to hate on him
Cause Tyson made Larry take a nap.
kchristopherb Larry was just telling the truth
Because Tyson knocked the living shit out of him!
naturalthing1 I can so tell you r a Muhammad ali fan and that u love him. good man.
As soon as Bryant Gumbel mentions the other fighters in Muhammad Ali's shadow, you can instantly see Joe Frazier ready to take offense, and Muhammad Ali and Ken Norton knowing full well that that's about to happen.
Ali immediately tries to stop that line of questioning, but his Parkinson's makes him too slow. Then Joe cuts him off and wants to set Bryant Gumbel straight that he ain't in nobody's shadow. After that, Norton tries to intervene. They all know that telling Joe Frazier that he is in Muhammad Ali's shadow is a sure way to immediately piss Frazier off.
Holmes must still be remembering how Tyson knocked him out lol
🐐’s 👑 🥊
Really hoped for more of substance from this interview opportunity.
5:33 Ali was like: Dont talk about Mike i dont wanna get in to any trouble and make another comeback.
An interview with 3 great champions...Ali,Frazier and Holmes...and one paper champ,Norton!
This make me happy,all they respect ali.
Alhamdolillah all good gentlemen, look at today's athletes, these guys truly where great, May they all rest in peace, and Larry live in peace
There were many great fights between these gentlemen The one between Norton and Holmes where Norton hit Holmes with a combination I believe the 13th round was spectacular Holmes had a jaw.Tyson in his prime would have been favored he was a bigger two handed Joe Frazier .George Foreman would have had the best chance because of his height and punching power
@LelandnSonya4eva Are u talking about some moment that aired on tv, cuz I would love to see what ur speaking of.
Joe gave tyson his due
greatly said thats the exact truth in every way
God bless these heroes of combat. Where's Foreman?
The reason Holmes didn't lose to anyone on that panel is that he was too young to fight them in their primes. By the time he hit his prime, they were old. Lucky for him.
You haven't watch Ali norton III have you. Ali, although he is my favorite fighter of all time lost that fight. No question. Norton belongs in this group.
Are robitussin and the discovery card still available ?!
that end when muhammad ali ends it!
All of them are legend,all of them are great and maybe there is not a greatest. But honestly without hating or loving someone, wasn't boxing become more popular, enjoyable and exciting to watch for all the people around the world in its golden ages,60,70s mostely because of one of them? Weren't all of them become more famous and recognizable because of fighting that man, apart from winner or loser ? Good or bad ,wrong or right we still arguing and enjoying those fights,interviews,and talks mostly because of hating or loving a man with an unorthodox style in boxing,unusual promoting and nice or ugly talking and acting with a big mouth .A man who gave the world different image of boxing and boxers,a man with a long shadow,a man who talked too much.
"i didn't call you boy i called you Roy"
Crazy to see the Michael Jordan commercial, another legend of sport close to his prime in this video
Joe. Frazier was always a class act.
You can tell Larry H. still Hates Mike Tyson 😂😂😂
