I really love Ali's poems , i even memorized some of them, but man i didn't knew they called him to teach poetry in Oxford!! This man is a genius rest in peace Ali.
"I have a lot of speed and a lot of endurance. If you sign to fight me, increase your Insurance." God bless Muhammad Ali. The greatest athlete ever lived.
His muscles, his handspeed, his footwork, his stamina and endurance. Some of his great qualities in boxing. But his greatest asset was his remarkable mind. His mind never stopped. Incredible.
@@ronjeremy1232 That's between him and his wife and Allah. But his Greatness and the inspiration he gave to others will last forever. On this Earth. The negative energy you bring is sickening
Ali won the gold medal in the 1960 Olympics a few years before I was born . By the time I got old enough to be aware he was word champ and then they took it away from him because he wouldnt go to Nam . I remember some of those days but our family loved the champ ..my mom and dad loved him because he was standing up for the kids sent to Nam as my uncle was killed there at age 23 with a pregnant wife at home and we all felt that war was wrong like Ali ...He was the champion of my life because he always did the right thing and loved all people ..My God he was an amazing man ..God Bless and Rahmat Allah wa Barakaatuh.
He does come off more soft spoken than usual, and the interviewer recognized that I think. He definitely was a performer but a damn wise soul. Something about him saying "You think that'll sell the fight?" was just so sincere. The interviewer I think really vibed with him. His poetry legit sent a chill down my spine.
I could honestly sit and listen to Muhammad Ali speak on every topic under the sun for literally days, and I guarantee he'd virtually have me questioning my own previous thoughts on every single one of them. What an intelligent man. And an equally intelligent fighter.
He was not only the most talented heavyweight boxing champion, but he simply had the guts to say what others couldn't, and for that he was the most influential athlete as I believe, an outstanding courage inside and outside the ring, what an amazing personality!
He is one of the most charismatic, witty person I have come across and just love watching his videos. He does look and sound tiered here though. Still, the man is just out of this world.
He got his brains bashed in to make money for the white man and the Jewish man. He returned from retirement because he needed money, even though he'd made billions for others throughout his career
@@Landauh ok.. who did it before him.. he used boxing to preach about individually and peace. You can't look at some of what he says like the marrying only from your own race etc understand what was happening around his time, my friend
@@Landauh he got his head beat up for his family, and died with plenty of money!! His family didn't want for nothing!! Most boxers, athletes die broke..With nothing to show for their sacrifice!! Oh and he was the greatest of alllllllllll tiiiiime!!
This man is the truth . He said " what can I do to help the black man because I won't be here long." This goes out to all those folks who make it successfully and abandon their race for another race. This man is sitting high in the universe . I'm sure the most high gave this man his own planet. He wants to help people. Simple as that!
Great Person He has inspired the entire world, Specially engendered, encouraged and energized millions of people in his life time and even after his departure, He has motivated to live free with the rights of equal human being, true humanity. May Allah bless him His Kind and Merciful Grace hereafter.
Amazing and inspiring thoughts of Mr. Mohammad Ali.(RIP. ) Indeed he was the greatest man of his times..He was the crownless King of the people. Always thinking of how to help people. Not just the oppressed 40 million black Afro Americans ,but any body who was in need of help he helped. Best example was that quoted by his financial advisor, Once Mohammad Ali was in his room watching T.V. he saw a Jewish senior citizens home at the verge of closing ,so immediately he ordered his financial manager/adviser , who was sitting next to him, to send 500,000 dollars to the management of a Jewish nursing home., to prevent it from closing This was the humanity in him, at its best. We all black,whites,browns,yellows and red can learn from the Great Boxer and more importantly a great human being. HE read the Quranic. My prayer, my sacrifice ,my life ,and my death are all for God and indeed he lived and died that way. No greater success than that can be achieved in life. I would just editorialize one thing here. I.e. love God and Love people for the love of God. You will never go wrong. The world will be at your feet . You shall stand tall..
I remember all the hostages he got released from the mid east, I can't remember exactly where because Ali wanted to keep it low key, that way he could get the needed rests of hostages being released, after their release Ali was still low key and humble not wanting to gloat in accolades and criticize American pick, he said he was not a politician and would let the politicians do their job because the people elected them. What a guy, there's so many legendary tales of Ali outside of boxing, such a humanitarian.
Don't be sad bro. I was about 9 years old when he fought George Foreman for the rumble in the jungle, it was really a magical time watching it with my family. Those Ali years in the 70s was truly unbelievable. I wish you were with me to witness those times.
@@jahsnoke8043 the first time I was introduced to boxing knowledgeably,, it was Dec1963, it was all the buzz: Cassius Clay, Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson that's all I heard talk of, who could, who would beat who. Wonderful introduction to the boxing game. My great grandmother had a 25' Philco b&w floor model.
As Dundee said, ' The world never saw the BEST of Ali " - during his prime,; the 3 1/2 years he was exiled. Ali made up for it later though. The 1st Frazier fight would not have gone that way had Ali been fighting from '67-701/2. The best boxer and I give thanks that I saw him and learned about human care, as a child, from him. R.I.P. Muhammad.
ALI is the #GreatestForever #GreatestOfAllTimes. There won't ever be Sumone like him ever, 1000 more years the world will revolve on its axis, and still #MohammadAli will be unmatched. He was a philosopher, a philanthropist ,a thinker, a hero, a Legend and a Proud Black Man. He was all for his race and humanity. #RestInParadiseChamp.
One American Journalist with noble quality. He questioned Mr. Mohammad Ali as well as respected him and in fact appeared to be admiring him too. Mr . James Day is from whom all journalist learn to take interviews. Present journalist do not even respect our president as much as Mr . Ali got respected.
I wish he cld be in his 30th and live now in our era. He had No education but so smart , with excellent memory, wrote poems, stood for his ppl, such a great man.
People talk about his physical skills but I think he is the smartest fighter ever. Could adapt to any situation like the 3 fraizer fights. Every time fraizer would gain an advantage ali would turn things around. And that was no easy thing as fraizer was a tank aswell as having highly underrated defense and fight IQ. He truly was the greatest in the ring and out. A fighter could have 100 fights and be undefeated but ali will always be the goat. His accomplishments outside the ring add to the mystique. A man of peace and love to everyone. More humble than people ever gave him credit for. RIP the greatest.
You're right, this guy did a really great job interviewing him. Too many times, the interviewer tries to make it about them. Great interview, great boxer, and an even greater man.
I’m 54 years old I was 9 when I saw him defeat foreman on tv in Zaire I consider my self lucky to live in his time I may have been too young to understand all he stood for but as a young child I was aware of his presence and what he taught he was not a perfect man but he was still a great man
Ali a man who can match wits and destroy anyone to bits, you'll look up to him not just cause he's tall but because he loves all. We thank him for being great it was his fate. (This poem I just wrote is a masterpiece) 😎
Flies like a butterfly and stings like a bee that is the undisputed boxer Muhammad Ali May Allah swt elevate his soul to the highest rank in paradise Ameen
I know it was recorded pre-social distancing but it was funny how close they are sitting to each other! Joking aside, what a man! An original character with an internal sense of justice and the will to see it through.
Ali was a great guy. He had it all. Too bad he wasn’t influenced by Larry Elder. Even so he makes good arguments for his position. He was a product of his time. God bless him.
They gave Ali his fight license back because when he was banned he was speaking publicly to be another Malcolm X with twice the popularity. Give him his damn license Now!!
I'm drunk with the wine of success!!! I love it!!! I'm gonna make it. And Mr. Ali I thank you for being such a gift. May you rest easy sir. The greatest to do it how he knew how to do it!!!
Great man! He was a gift to the world.
Is a gift what we do an who we impact never leaves he definitely left his mark...
Really? He never did shit for me
AND SOME!!

Ali was a thinker, such a sharp mind.
Very good memory too, in other interviews he is able to rattle of poems and facts like it's nothing and holds his own in intellectual debates.
yes at the end of his life he was really sharp
His muscles, his handspeed, his footwork, his stamina and endurance. Some of his great qualities in boxing. But his greatest asset was his remarkable mind. His mind never stopped. Incredible.

Such a wise, Good man. Truly a role model for fighters, a man, and for people in general. God bless him and his family.
i was glade to have growen up in the times of Ali.
Am mesmerised by the conviction & confidence with which Ali recited the poem on Truth!
Unique Man forever...Rest on Mo Ali
Happy birthday to GOAT. Love from India. 17th January 2019, Respect.
He had one of the greatest hearts of all time a very loving man.
Blacks people's son U are our brother, son ,heroe, we love u so much, we will never forget about u , u live insight our hearts.

that's one reason why he's the greatest of all tymes
And kind to fans, gave me an auto on my SI mag when he was told no autographs, still have it, on promo tour for Norton rematch.
Simply beautiful
Exactly some time's I wonder if d gov't make him sick who is with me on this one.
not really talented? fastest before 1971 and an iron chin after 1971 you dunno shit about boxing
This is a real interview , Very great discussion I wish it was longer
I get tears in my eyes, every time I watch him talk.
Uurr very sweet. R.I.P ALI MY BROTHER
Me too, pure greatness great parents also!
Pure charisma pure hero we need more of this kind for the advancement of humans everywhere- please GOD make more this man proved you can,please please
Bro no ones touching his legacy not even the fighters of today. They might be better than him but ultimately they will never reach his level
none of these black celebs can touch Ali.
Muhammad Ali. The face of the Truth.
I love listening to this very intelligent man ... most people that interview him are like his boxing opponents not on his level
He was everyone’s. He didn’t belong to one race he was everyone’s. I will never forget him. Allah gave him respect. Islam gave him respect and talent!
THIS IS A FANTASTIC INTERVIEW & A GREAT INTERVIEWER ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS & MAKING Mr ALI COMFORTABLE TO GIVE THE RIGHT ANSWERS!!!
A rare look deep inside what makes Mohammed Ali tick. I think he is a wonderful man, and really good. God bless him in his last years.
He is one of the most charismatic, witty person I have come across and just love watching his videos. He does look and sound tiered here though. Still, the man is just out of this world.

Truly one of my Hero's growing up THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!
One of the best interviews of the champ...
You mean coward sir.
Excellent excellent interview. James Day just let him speak and he asked good thoughtful questions.
He's a terrific interviewer, almost as good as Cavett
Yes...got deeper inside Ali.. The mechanics of his mind and spirituality... Amazing
Good questions but Day keeps interrupting Ali before Ali is finished talking.
Yes back in the day normally they wouldn’t
But He did it Bz he know that Ali was people camp until now
