“I’m young, I’m fast, I’m handsome, I’m pretty and I can’t POSSIBLY be beat”. The passion behind the word ‘possibly’ resounds right to the soul. What a man, the greatest of all time.
Gatora tor 11 he’s character was only for TV the man was a genius he was a humble man off camera but still had belief in him self these are the people we should be learning about in schools
He didnt, he said in an interview with foreman and frazier that he didnt believe it then, and doesnt believe it now. Both of them disagreed and said ali is the best of all time, as did mike tyson.
***** I disagree, You clearly have not watched this video or understood the whole drive force behind his victories. He was also asked in one of the interviews that "why he is so full of confidence and not humble" and his reply was "It's hard to be humble when you're this great". If he didn't believe in himself, then there is no way he could've won those fights such as Foreman, Liston and Frazier.
There was the show man Ali n there was the quiet introspective Ali - 99% of the time we saw the showman but very occasionally we would see the quiet (yes quiet) introspective Ali - The quiet Ali always said that he is NOT the greatest there is only one greatest and that is God (Allah) - He also said that most of what he said was just showman ship to unsettle his opponents n sell tickets but he didn’t believe most of what he said
Muhammad Ali's presence is enough to electrify the whole room/stadium without a single word...His personality/character was and still Larger-then-Life.......
what strikes me as being so phenomenal is the amount of confident he had in himself when the whole world was against him. When Ali said he was the greatest of all time, he was speaking from a place of earnest conviction, of belief so strong it manifested itself as reality.
eric mayer are you saying you believed in god so hard made him real? lol other than that it is almost impossible to make a logic of your comment in return to SolersRobur
What is even more striking... Is the kind of pressure he puts on himself bt doing this - ranting, predictions & poetry right before the biggest fight of his life. I mean the only way people can forgive someone who's such a braggart is if he lived up to these ludicrous boasts. It is just incredible that he would put his word, reputation and status on the line against an opponent who was at the time considered invincible! I mean the man had everything to lose. Had he lost against Liston, there's not a person on earth who would've taken him seriously! He would've been written off then and there. But ohh boy did he deliver to the T. "Who would've thought when they witnessed this fight that they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny".
This clip is a real gem. We're unbelievable lucky we have these videos. The talking, the poetry they use, the way they react. We will never see anything like this. Today's boxing has nothing to do with that. We won't get this kind of athletes any time soon. This is like a movie. We're witnessing greatness right here ladies and gentlemen.
Cassius Marcellus Clay had won gold at the Rome Olympic Games in 1960, as a light-heavyweight, still a growing boy. Turning pro, he campaigned as a heavyweight with a unique ability/style -- he moved like a lightweight, hands down around his waist, relying upon his fast feet and lightning reflexes to elude his opponent's awkward, lunging punches, then counter-punching with flurries that were a blur to the eye. Anyone who saw that young man operate would be agape at the speed, the grace, the beauty of his movement; it was ballet in the Squared Circle, an art-form never before experienced; and we shall not see his like again. Champ, you will always be The Greatest. RIP
Rap literally mean rhythm and poetry Research grios But in our society in the 20th century, black church and preachers created rap. Cream corn from black dynamite James brown Harlem Ali learned from his elders
You just can't replicate this type of trash talk anymore. No curse words, just some witty bad ass lines. Nowadays most fighters got that gradeschool type of trashtalks.
Clay Comes out to meet Liston, and Liston starts to retreat! If Liston goes back any farther, he'll end up in a ringside seat! Clay swings with his left, Clay swings with his right, look at young Cassius carry the fight... Liston keeps backin' but's there not enough room, It's a matter of time, BEFORE CLAY LOWERS THE BOOM! Now Liston disappeared out of view, THE CROWD'S GETTING FRANTIC! But our radar stations won't pick him up, he somewhere's over the Atlantic! Liston is still rising, and the ref wears a frown.. for he can't start countin,' til sonny comes down! Who would have thought when they came to the fight that they would witness the launching of a human satelite!? Yes the crowd could not DREAM, when they put down their MONEY, that they will see, a total eclipse of sonny!
This was so funny that old dude comments to what Ali was saying had me dying ! Muhammad was funny, people was saying he was too cocky but he was having fun while being the best. R.I.P Cassius
Muhammad ali always stood for you people black brother and sister community ,and you are direspecting him he is a Muhammad Ali and dominating on our Heart
Ali infused a personality and bravado into boxing that just wasn't there before. He was brash and unapologetic about it. And people loved that about him. He had a charisma that very few in boxing or the athletic world as a whole ever achieve.
I was in my teens at the time and Ali was not universally liked because of his bragging.. that just wasn't accepted back then. Those were very different times.
when ali beat liston in 1964 it was the biggest upset ever in the fight world....with all his pre fight braggadocia we didn`t realise ali was so good....tall brilliant boxer unnatural speed for a heavyweight great defence could take a punch....after a few minutes of the fight it was obvious.
Recall, he had to fight one entire round blinded by some "mysterious substance." Of course, it was liniment, applied to the striking surfaces of Sonny's gloves -- one of the oldest tricks in the Sweet Science's books.
who cares about 1960, you dont judge a person by something he moved on from and wants to forget...his name is muhammad ali...even before he became a muslim the way he thinks and talks was all consistent with a guy who was a believer in god and aware of god's power...he was a believer even before he became a muslim...
Ali: "But I got THESE." *Raises fists* Interviewer: "And they represent your thinking?" Ali: "These represent dynamite...BDDDDRRRRR POP! *Points to the floor* There he is!"
Muhammad ali is true legend of boxing I'd some body thinks he is died and no more then it's wrong his predictions and winning fights no body did in the history of boxing he is only true legend of the boxing last and next 500 hundred yeas I don't know world agreed with me or not
55 Muhammad Ali was god. _"I'm ready to go to war right now. If I see that boy on the street, I'll beat him before the fight."_ _"Beat him like I'm his daddy."_
He wrote these four lines which he forgot during that recital: Then Clay lands with a right, what a beautiful swing, And the punch raised the bear clear out of the ring. Liston still rising and the ref wears a frown, But he can't start counting until Sonny comes down.
LOL. Fantastic. What a great sense of humor he had. In the 1970s, Ali was very likely the most recognizable person in the world. If you showed video tape of every well known living human being at that time to people all over the world and asked them who is that person? What is his or her name? More than any other human being, I think Muhammad Ali would get the most people saying his name. Ali and Louis still nobody has come along to dominate boxing and the news in the world more than those two did. Louis well known all over the world 25 successful world title defenses and serving in the military during WW2 USA fighting the Germans and Japanese, Ali well known all over the world 3 time undisputed world heavyweight champion, and refusing to join the USA army killing people in North Vietnam. Two greatest heavyweight champions, ever. There is really no way to seriously argue any other heavyweight was more dominant and popular around the world for many years in boxing than Ali and Louis.
He loaned him money to get through the hard times when he was banned. He also agreed to fight him & give him a title shot. This all happened in that limo. Frazier ended up losing the title to Foreman before that could happen. Put this search into Google exaclty. Requiem for a Heavyweight: Smokin' Joe Frazier You will get more info

There will never be another Muhammad Ali, and I'm glad I saw him in my lifetime. The true GOAT.
