There could not have been 2 men that could have come from more different backgrounds, different ethnicities, different religious beliefs, different circumstances of their upbringing and education...etc. They were not just black and white. They were all of that plus as different as hot and cold, day and night, up and down, Jew and Muslim, New York and Louisville. Yet, they were tight. They cared about each other and they respected each other and these moments caught on tape are classic. The world could learn a lot from the relationship of Mr. Ali and Mr. Cosell.
Barack -Biden, maybe ? -Jew vs mus l'impression - Older white vs younger black - The back with stamina and charisma vs thé White reserved but more experienced.
@@megamegapop12 Cossel also notably called Ali by his new Muslim name despite many commentators still referring to him as Clay, I think Ali deeply respected him for that
Oh now, I hear you...I am 55 and remember all of those classic times on ABC / WW of Sports !! My childhood was this !! May they be at peace with THE LORD ..**
Ali and Cosell were a duo! Together they were funny as hell in front of that camera! Two Icons!!!!!!! There will never be another Ali and Cosell and that's for real!!! R.I.P Muhammad Ali and Howard Cosell
Ali truly was " All that and a bag of chips ! " a TRUE " Entertainer " as well as one TOUGH, FAST, HANDSOME, Boxer with a chin too !! He had that extra tank as he showed with Joe Frazier in The Thrilla " and Cosell truly loved him ! ....tears in my eyes, as this was my youth ! ..I just turned 55 , life is fly'n buy soooo fast ! God bless '
I grew up with the 2 of them and I always looked forward to seeing their banter back and forth. They enjoyed a true friendship. Thank you for making this.
Whew! Grown man and I am not ashamed to say i got BIG TEARS when Howard spoke to him at the end. What a splendid friendship. For those of us who were mere children when Ali fought we only knew he was the greatest boxer. As we grew up and learned of his history before we knew him we knew he was the greatest human as well.
you could see they had a lot of respect for each other. we'll never see great men like these again. what do we have reality TV shows as icon today never be like this again
Still my favorite boxer of all times. The interaction between these two is historical. I am so fortunate to be born in this era to share both personalities. An absolutely remarkable tribute thank you for posting
I love how Howard Cosell genuinely loved Muhammad and vise versa....the way they joked and reacted with one another was like a brothers love...RIP to 2 GREATS hope you are up there laughing at how Fairy the world is now...wouldn't be able to handle your greatness

They both had kind souls, that makes them one and the same. The other stuff are just accessories.
Well said.
very well said, sir.
true.
A1Adaydreaming Well said! Howard and Ali were gentlemen of honour, courage and reputation. They to this day
That is what a real bromance looks like.
Yes indeed! We need more of that!

Biden isn’t Jewish & Obama isn’t Muslim though lol
You could see these two Men really Loved each other.
I swear these guys could have made a career being a comedy duo
Cosell and Ali made each other.
Actually he hyped Ali to no end, and stuck buy him when no one else would.
Daniel Torluemke very true. Even with the draft scandal I believe Cosell repeatedly stuck up for him.
I am Batman yeah he really did
@@megamegapop12 Cossel also notably called Ali by his new Muslim name despite many commentators still referring to him as Clay, I think Ali deeply respected him for that
Damn - that shuffle was fast!
Back in the day, that was something I always noticed.
Speed counts for a lot.
He just turned it on out of nowhere too 🤣
Wonderfull final speech from Howard Cosell. It sounds so right, so simple, so true. Very emotional.
No other athlete/journalist combo has has as much chemistry, charisma, entertainment value and greatness as Ali/Cosell.
As a child I loved their back and forth.
Jerome H. Me, too---- we may never see this chemistry again.
"If I had a lower IQ I could enjoy your interview." LOL LOL LOL
Ali was always witty and funny.
A great answer by a high IQ man
Howard Cossell and Muhammad Ali were made for each other :) Their exchanges did so much to promote Ali as a great champ and a greater human being.
for all of us who lived through these times this younger generation will never understand
We can come pretty close to understanding though. Greatness is never limited by time.
Damn, the last scene with themselves old together; made my eyes wet.
Abdul G. Same here.it was touching
Oh now, I hear you...I am 55 and remember all of those classic times on ABC / WW of Sports !! My childhood was this !! May they be at peace with THE LORD ..**
Yes same here that was a touching moment. God I miss them both
Same😰
That really got me. Their friendship was really something special ❤️
Ali and Cosell were a duo! Together they were funny as hell in front of that camera! Two Icons!!!!!!! There will never be another Ali and Cosell and that's for real!!! R.I.P Muhammad Ali and Howard Cosell
that shuffle was beyond fast wtf
so smooth and precise too, what an athlete
in dress shoes mind you !!
Bromance at its finest makes me smile with love each time ♥️ rest in peace both
The only white man who got away with slapping the Champ in the face.
@@kinggorilla5376 what?
And cus
I fully read this as ‘Chimp’ and was triggered
@@newLEGACYFLEKZ lmaoooo
why the racist comment. They were friends and Howard loved Ali.
Two great conquerors their respective fields. Cosell was great boxer of commentator; Ali the great brain in and out of the ring. Miss them both.
Muhammad Ali and Howard Cosell.(RIP)
The greatest
This two were professionally made for each other:
I almost got choked up during the last clip.

Both of them are great.
1:59 That string of burns.....3rd degree. I love when Ali drops the showmanship and just talks to Cosell.
I love how Ali couldn't even get out a quick comeback like usual because he was too busy laughing
2 of the biggest & important sports figures of the 20th Century! RIP Howard Cosell & Muhammad Ali!
💜💜💜💜 nearly teared up at the last video long friendship these two are like brothers
Me too, that was a beautiful moment.
The greatest athlete of all time and the greatest commentator of all time!!!
Oh, how The World needs you right now Champ :(
you could see they had a lot of respect for each other. we'll never see great men like these again. what do we have reality TV shows as icon today never be like this again
Two great men. i miss the both of them.
Still my favorite boxer of all times. The interaction between these two is historical. I am so fortunate to be born in this era to share both personalities. An absolutely remarkable tribute thank you for posting
I laughed my ass off when Ali flipped up Howard’s wig !!!!
😂😅😅
I was stealing bikes in Louisville and having a bad day ,and I needed this bad. These guys bring tears of happiness.
"Whatever 'truculent' means, if it's good, I'm that." One of the best lines ever. Man, Ali was quick!
What a relationship these two men had. They brighten my day made smile. They love for each other was immeasurable. Wish I could have meet them.
Privileged to have grown up in the late 60s and early 70s and witnessed the truly golden era of boxing. There will never be another ali & cosell.
GREAT!! Child of the 70s. Thank you.
Ali. 100% Charisma. 100% Comic Genius. And 100% Champion.
There will never be a duo that exemplifies athletic excellence and broadcasting perfection. Ever. They were just be.
Ali and Cosell were so good together. I am sure they are still at it in Heaven. God bless em.
These two were so different it’s unreal. But despite all that they still had the tightest bond we’ve been in a while
They needed each other and obviously loved one another deeply.
If I had a lower IQ I could enjoy your interview. Childhood hero! 52 now. Where have all the years gone....
This awsome to see. You can tell they were great friends. It's really inspiring and encouraging
@3:12 the way Cosell impersonates Ali is just amazing!!!
You know these two are up above talking all types of trash to each other lol never will there be a better combo then these two
2021 or Yesteryear, I'll take yesteryear, such a great feeling growing up back then.
Still a better love story than twighlight.
Muhammad Ali will always be the greatest boxing of all time
Stunning dazzling
The incomparable Ali
The chemistry is amazing
Always always loved these guys together great show every time
Miss em both
This was GREAT reality tv back in the day!
Damn this brought back memories. Touching last clip. Thanks for the upload.
I love how Howard Cosell genuinely loved Muhammad and vise versa....the way they joked and reacted with one another was like a brothers love...RIP to 2 GREATS hope you are up there laughing at how Fairy the world is now...wouldn't be able to handle your greatness
2:00 love that part
The last part got me crying 😭
I am crying like a baby .. I miss u Mohammed ali
Ali said I made u great and u still poppin off lol I love it.
"If I had a lower IQ I could enjoy your interview." Classic.
Man Ali was the greatest Boxer ever, Howard Cosell was the greatest sports reporter ever. Together, they were awesome together.
Beautiful video! Thanks so much for posting.
He was my neighbor for a few years before he died. Was too young to remember him or have an interest. Definitely my biggest regret :(
This is entertainment at it finest.
Simply Brilliant
We all love each other.
That's a fact.
What a beautiful relationship the had!!!
CALSS ACTS BOTH! I WAS FORTUNATE TO SEE ALL THIS W DAD, RIP!
Someone chopping onions?😥
Don't tell people that I stole bikes.lmao.Ali you legend!
Great chemistry these two
this is so beautiful.
Really great, thanks!
THEY WAS THE PERFECT COUPLE TO ENTERTAINMENT
Very touching speach at the end
Two legends.
I love Ali. Howard Cosell said it best at the very end of this video, " You're name IS Mohammed Ali ! "
They became great friends
Best comedy team of the 60s and 70s.
a wonderful journey
Shakur Stevenson looks like a young Muhammad Ali… FACTS
This comment section almost as good as this video. Shame to think we still after all these years can't get people to act like this towards each other.
Love the mutual respect ✊
beautiful
Amazing
The way his hand bounced off the champ was hysterical lol
Ali was a proper comedian with charisma and comic timing lmao
Howard Cosell is the ultimate shit talker 😂😂. They friendship is legendary lol
The Champ, "If I had a lower IQ I could enjoy this interview." Awesome LOL! Ali & Cosell are the best!
My favorite one is when Howard told Ali, "I made you. I took a poor little kid from Louisville..." LOL
The original bromance.
ALI BOMAYE !!!😪
These guys could of been a comedy duo on tv
God bless them both.. great personality s.
Thank you!!!
I love that by the end their relationship had degenerated into two grown men slapping each other on TV. Reminds me of my siblings and cousins...
2 Timothy 1:7. “Let your yes be your yes and your no be your no.”
2.40-2.50
Decent banter and Howard won haha.
