ISLAM IS NOT FOR PRICE FIGHTER HE was not worthy of DIVINE NAME FROM ALLAH and he put out the NATION OF ISLAM OF THE BLACK MAN IN 1969 he was not a TRUE BELIEVER.
@@dreddmann9292 That's what so great about Ali. You see how real he is with interviews like this, you can see how soft snd kind he can be even when talking to cus D'Amato. Ali was tough snd sharp. Then, when you watch him talk his smack it ain't really smack. When he stare downs his opponents and is silence he's like superman. Ali was something else man
I remember when he was in the Triple A in Miami. He was there for a basketball game. He said that he was like a butterfly. Some citizens still do not have their own land.
I’m a white old lady, n I still have a hard time understanding how horrible these people were treated. I loved Ali. Great boxer, great human being. Still miss him.
You can tell the interviewer has come to personally know and came to admire Ali! You can see in the way he looks at Ali, the admiration he holds! Ali was a man who was able to attract admirers! And not because of hhis boxing talent, or his gift of gab, charming smile and good looks, or his soft spoken wit... But, because he was a man of his word,, who stood by his convictions,, who was unable to be broken by society or of what he thought was expected of him to just get by! There are very few men of that quality! And those that maintain it, will always have people look to and admire them with respect and love! A man true to himself is the only man to follow!
Jail for 5 years ? Heck our people been in jail for over 400 years. That was a powerful response. He believed in his cause and was willing to fight for it.
It has been 52 years since this interview and everything he has stated is still true today. We need to stop begging to belong and build our own communities and separate ourselves. I truly believe it will be better for us. Nothing has changed in America.
Yeah 100% agree with you, blacks should live with other blacks and same with browns and yellows. Then there will be peace. Look in Africa, how can there be racism in Africa if everyone is black ? So there is peace. But do they all want to move back home.
@@hungrysurfer9471 I don’t agree with this line of thinking. It’s an over simplification of human interaction and lacks any depth of perception. All things aren’t equal, even when they are equalized. If the races were divided, they would still suffer from prejudice, divisiveness, classism, struggles of hierarchy, social unrest and cognitive dissonance. These concepts are not limited to or dependent on whether races live amongst each other or not. These are features of humanity, not byproducts of mixed cultures and phenotypes.
@@hungrysurfer9471 That is an old, outdated way of thinking. And besides we are all mixed race at this point.

I'm listening to this 54 years after and it still hurts to know what Black Americans, especially, have gone through due to racism - and are still going through. The Whites, who have killed Blacks just because of the colour of their skin - and Hitler - others who have killed - will have to stand before God in the final judgment. That's the only hope Blacks have - and other races still experiencing racism up to this day. Muhammad Ali is really the greatest! I could listen to him speak for a whole day. He stands firm in his convictions. Most men would buckle under the pressures leaning on them but he was able to stay cool and calm under fire and still hold on to his sense of humour. He could have been an Orator and would have been the greatest. This man had wits; he could think on his feet; he could talk, put his words into rhyme. Oh, what a man God blessed the world with.

this is a man of principle and real strength and integrity. a truer American than the ones who tried to put him in prison for his political voice, to which he was entitled as a citizen of this country. RIP to the greatest
Muhammad Ali speaks … it’s all been lost now except for those of us who were there and were impacted by the majesty of his presence and his very words. I’ll never forget the meetings I had with Ali … January 13 and 14, 1984, at the Seattle SeaTac Red Lion and I was able to tell and thank him in pertinent part: “Muhammed, I saw you in your fights with Frazier, Foreman, Cooper, Norton, Bonavena, Chuvalo, all of them and so many more. But the greatest fight you ever had was when you took on the US Government, the Military Industrial Complex, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA, and told them “Hell no, I won’t go!” And you won that fight and were vindicated by the Supreme Court of the United States. That was your greatest fight and I, again thank you, Muhammed Ali!” Muhammed Ali wept as he turned his head to the side trying to shield his face from my eyes to hide his tears. It was at that moment in time when he penned: “To Young Firpo. Service to others is the rent we pay for our room in Heaven. Muhammad Ali, January 14, 1984” Here in this interview is the man, Muhammad Ali, who stood by the power of his conviction, and that conviction has stood by and with me to this very day some 38 years later, serving me in good times and bad. 🙏🙏🙏
@@kuljahanproductions4587 Ali is one of a kind no doubt. I’m certain that there’s individuals today with a similar spirit. The only difference is they’re not the heavyweight champion of the world.
Ali was a gift from God who puts these sort of special humans on earth now and again , you won't see many like him . It should be mentioned the interviewer was a very nice guy
actually, you won't see ANY like him. the man was one of a kind which made him kind of the one and the only one that can and will forever be remembered as the only GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
The best speciality of Mohammed ali perhaps was that wherever the country he went, he made people feel like he is one of them, miss you champ 😢 (may he rest in peace)
The greatest but even braver for what he believed in.....he didn't stay quiet...he cared for his oppressed people......he could've not said anything..but when you do what he did, he spoke had a platform to let all know how not just how he felt but the many many people who couldn't be heard
This makes me a bit sad because when i lived a short time in NYC i met my best friend there who is a black man and we were a group of 6 guys and i was the only white guy but i felt closer to those friends than in all my life with anyone in Canada. I so look up to Ali and cheered him to beat anyone i was in the ring with. He was my champion and still is ! I do think Muhammad Ali softened a bit on his views the older he got.As well he was faced with the government making life hard for the champ at this time too. I dont blame him for how he felt at that time. I admire him for not going to fight for a political corporate agenda either. God bless Muhammad Ali!
I am glad that this man did not succumb to being with nobody else wanted him to be and endeavor to be himself and not allow nobody to tell him that he needed to be a credit to his race he needed to be a credit to himself and his family and to God and I'm glad that he did not sell out and become who somebody else wanted him to be Muhammad Ali the greatest
I hope so too but afaik the Black Panther Movement was rather political than spiritual, due to the Ku-Klux Klan assholes who believe they're Christians :D
Amazing man, sent by God. No doubt. Didn't have an education but was wise beyond his years and beyond what our society was ready to hear. I'm 70. He is the only real hero I ever had.
As entertaining as he was you can see he was on a mission and he wasn't bullshitting. What people saw as entertaining and fun, he wasn't there talking just for fun, the man was talking to get the message out to everyone weather you're a Muslim or not. A majority of his interviews you can see in the end he's not there to entertain us like some kind buffoon or clown, the interviews never end with everybody all happy and dandy, and it's not because he's trying to be that way on purpose, it's just that with all the shit going on right in front of him he would have to be a lying fool to himself and everybody else if he just came out and did interviews just for our entertainment. I'm not even a Muslim but in this interview alone hes packed in so much knowledge wisdom and understanding that I can honestly say that I learned more from him than any other.
Maybe American & World-wide Athletes but he doesn't come close in intelligence to Einstein, Edison, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedys, Hendrix, Thomas, Justice Scalia, Frost, Walt Whitman-"Leaves of Grass,"Franklin, & Emily Dickinson.
@@richardmilliken8705 Whoooa. U put Jimi Hendrix amongst these high intellects? That's saying something. I always said that geniuses lie mostly with artists: Music, literary figures, maybe film. Athletes? Not so much. What Ali did here is bravery. Big difference.
I was BLESSED to have his cousin across the street from my parent's home in Liemert Park section of LA. Thanks for the boxing and life lessons, Champ! God do I miss your presence in this World!!!!! So sad that you are not here. You are The Greatest!
Really? So Obama was in jail for both of his presidential terms and 5-Star General & Secretary of State Colin Powell was in Jail? And World Renowned Economist Thomas Sowell was in jail over the last 50 years. And the Greatest Guitar Player of All-Time Jimi Hendrix was in jail.. And the Greatest Comedian of All-Time Richard Pryor was in Jail. And the Greatest Sprinter & Marathoner- Usaine Bolt & Eulicid Kipchoge were in jail. And the Greatest Entertainer- Michael Jackson was in Jail. And the Greatest Basketball Player of All-time- Michael Jordan was in jail. And the Greatest Actor of All-time - Denzyl Washington was in jail. And Poet & Writer James Baldwin was in jail. And Tyson Degrasse was in jail. And James Brown, Lawrence Taylor, MLK, Malcom X, Ali, Maya Angelou were in jail. Morgan Freeman has stated that we are all part of the Human Race. If you're looking for motivation, then do a search for Navy Seal ***David Goggins***
After it's my time, What I'd like to be remembered is, He took a few cups of Love, One table spoon of patience, One teaspoon of generosity, One pint of Kindness, One pinch of Laughter. He mixed it all together with a loyal loving heart.
True to his word, Muhammad Ali was the greatest of all time because to date nobody can compare with him. The eloquence, breaverly and the looks, quiet outstanding. Rest in peace champ, we never saw you in person but we heard about you as if you lived in our backyard. However, I seen you thanks to you tube.
To be so young and to be as wise and know his mission in life at 28 is a true blessing. And as he aged he softened his view on integration and saw that Aligah Mohammed was a hypocrite who took advantage of young black women. He followed his own truth and stayed true to his religion of peace. And later regretted turning against Malcolm X who became enlightened faster than he did.
The fact that the greatest martial art philosopher on earth took something from him is enough for me to consider him the greatest ever. His common sense and intelligence is another thing all together
@@imback4more440 Bruce Lee was the greatest martial arts philosopher to ever appear on screen. And he had martial arts talent to back up his philosophy. Till today, no one else even comes close to being as great

Amen brother, stay blessed
Best Ali interview ever. So intelligent and articulate.

Yes! Best of the best interview ever!!!
But foolish .
Watch the Cavett interview. 👏 brilliant
@Sammy Samboslayer Another satan worshiper .
I love it , this brother stuck to his values! I wish we all could be like this.
you individually can be like this, you have to be honest with yourself. Dont worry about others
@@donaldwilliams5609 That is the problem we have forgotten what it means to care for others.
That maybe, but we have to do our part regardless of how we may feel.
@@bertramdavis7120 That's TYFF! to do, when all of that DOUGH(money)is dangling under one's nose. Too many sellouts now. Too many JUDAS's.

THE FINEST❤
This is very important.
It's a miracle that blacks survived the America experience.
He looks so handsome in here. He really was the Greatest boxer of all time:) but he will be remembered for all the things he did for our ppl
Indeed! And Michael Jackson was a good looking dude before he had all of his plastic surgeries done on him.
I absolutely agree!!!
@@richardmilliken8705 yeah definitely after the plastic at older age he looked scary but still he didn't look as handsome as Ali I think.
@@HristinaNicole 😮
I refuse to serve in the United State Army in 1962; I'm proud of Muhammad Ali for taking that stand!
Muhammad Ali, the Greatest of all times
Whoever the interviewer is, he is very respectful and liked Ali.
Mind you, he's 25 during this interview!
Today's 25 year olds act like 12 year olds.
@@PHILLIPS8822 They sure do.
He is what every man should prosper to be. This man defines the word class he is smart dosent take shit from no one and full of integrity ohh and he is handsome af
this coming from a straight male. Inshallah peace be upon this man god willing 🤲🏽
this is a man of principle and real strength and integrity. a truer American than the ones who tried to put him in prison for his political voice, to which he was entitled as a citizen of this country. RIP to the greatest
Ali fought the good fight in or out of the ring always as a winner, true heart ❤️ of a champion!
Wow he didn't know How Great he was yet to be. 😇
What an absolute Legend.
Max respect, Muhammad Ali.
Always going to miss this guy.
He stood on principle, put his money where his mouth is in spite of being squeezed on all sides, but was ultimately vindicated.
🙏🙏🙏 Respect, Greatness, Glory ! We will never forget You. What a man ! Thank You Champion !
Muhammad Ali speaks … it’s all been lost now except for those of us who were there and were impacted by the majesty of his presence and his very words.
I’ll never forget the meetings I had with Ali … January 13 and 14, 1984, at the Seattle SeaTac Red Lion and I was able to tell and thank him in pertinent part:
“Muhammed, I saw you in your fights with Frazier, Foreman, Cooper, Norton, Bonavena, Chuvalo, all of them and so many more. But the greatest fight you ever had was when you took on the US Government, the Military Industrial Complex, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA, and told them “Hell no, I won’t go!”
And you won that fight and were vindicated by the Supreme Court of the United States. That was your greatest fight and I, again thank you, Muhammed Ali!”
Muhammed Ali wept as he turned his head to the side trying to shield his face from my eyes to hide his tears.
It was at that moment in time when he penned: “To Young Firpo. Service to others is the rent we pay for our room in Heaven. Muhammad Ali, January 14, 1984”
Here in this interview is the man, Muhammad Ali, who stood by the power of his conviction, and that conviction has stood by and with me to this very day some 38 years later, serving me in good times and bad. 🙏🙏🙏
We gotta carry the torch for brother Muhammad
Yeah sure. Yall now listen to mumble rap and are absent fathers 🤣 what torch u want to carry?
@@navjitbassi03 keep the ignorant opinions to yourself. Peace.
@@camxone yeah completely ignorant. Keep blaming white people for your problems. Peace
@@camxone but that is true unfortunately. Who's a role model like them anymore? The likes of Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X etc
@@kuljahanproductions4587 Ali is one of a kind no doubt. I’m certain that there’s individuals today with a similar spirit. The only difference is they’re not the heavyweight champion of the world.
Ali was, is and shall be the GREATEST!
Ali was a gift from God who puts these sort of special humans on earth now and again , you won't see many like him .
It should be mentioned the interviewer was a very nice guy
actually, you won't see ANY like him. the man was one of a kind which made him kind of the one and the only one that can and will forever be remembered as the only GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
I love him for the sake of Allah. May Allah give a chance to meet him in Jannah
Allah is satan in realty .
I had no idea how much MORE than a Championship Boxer he really was.
Mohamed Alli is MARVELLOUS !
I love him ❣️
You are the Best 🙏
The best speciality of Mohammed ali perhaps was that wherever the country he went, he made people feel like he is one of them, miss you champ 😢 (may he rest in peace)
Indeed, people loved him everywhere!
is he dead
The greatest but even braver for what he believed in.....he didn't stay quiet...he cared for his oppressed people......he could've not said anything..but when you do what he did, he spoke had a platform to let all know how not just how he felt but the many many people who couldn't be heard
We are a great people!!
Ali was one of the greatest human of our time thank you my champion. I'm proud to be black.
What a wonderful sportsman, and what a wonderful human being!
Happy 81st Birthday GOAT Mohammad Ali. Hyderabad, India.
This makes me a bit sad because when i lived a short time in NYC i met my best friend there who is a black man and we were a group of 6 guys and i was the only white guy but i felt closer to those friends than in all my life with anyone in Canada. I so look up to Ali and cheered him to beat anyone i was in the ring with. He was my champion and still is ! I do think Muhammad Ali softened a bit on his views the older he got.As well he was faced with the government making life hard for the champ at this time too. I dont blame him for how he felt at that time. I admire him for not going to fight for a political corporate agenda either. God bless Muhammad Ali!
I love what Ali has to say. The interviewer constantly interrupting him is very distracting and frustrating.
I am glad that this man did not succumb to being with nobody else wanted him to be and endeavor to be himself and not allow nobody to tell him that he needed to be a credit to his race he needed to be a credit to himself and his family and to God and I'm glad that he did not sell out and become who somebody else wanted him to be Muhammad Ali the greatest
Punctuation / grammar
May Allah grant Ali jannah...I admire his values and his stance
I hope so too but afaik the Black Panther Movement was rather political than spiritual, due to the Ku-Klux Klan assholes who believe they're Christians :D
Love you Brother Ali ❤️🙏
No man in or out of the ring was better in strength, wisdom, and values.
Amazing man, sent by God. No doubt. Didn't have an education but was wise beyond his years and beyond what our society was ready to hear. I'm 70. He is the only real hero I ever had.
imagine if we had no recording devices / this is beautiful
Its insane that just in the 60s this segregation was still so heavy...
it would still be that way now if the white elites had their way
He's The Greatest, all day everyday Muhammad Ali Rest in Peace Brother.
Just a brilliant person. It’s the aura some humans have. Can see it in the ring and through his wit.
what wise man today we cant find anyone like him
As entertaining as he was you can see he was on a mission and he wasn't bullshitting. What people saw as entertaining and fun, he wasn't there talking just for fun, the man was talking to get the message out to everyone weather you're a Muslim or not. A majority of his interviews you can see in the end he's not there to entertain us like some kind buffoon or clown, the interviews never end with everybody all happy and dandy, and it's not because he's trying to be that way on purpose, it's just that with all the shit going on right in front of him he would have to be a lying fool to himself and everybody else if he just came out and did interviews just for our entertainment. I'm not even a Muslim but in this interview alone hes packed in so much knowledge wisdom and understanding that I can honestly say that I learned more from him than any other.
What a truly wonderful man. I wish he could come back as another soul and lead his people to their rightful place. An amazing man.
Mohammed Ali forever! His wisdom was greater than that of all the Americans
Maybe American & World-wide Athletes but he doesn't come close in intelligence to Einstein, Edison, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedys, Hendrix, Thomas, Justice Scalia, Frost, Walt Whitman-"Leaves of Grass,"Franklin, & Emily Dickinson.
@@richardmilliken8705 oh please
@@richardmilliken8705 Whoooa. U put Jimi Hendrix amongst these high intellects? That's saying something. I always said that geniuses lie mostly with artists: Music, literary figures, maybe film. Athletes? Not so much. What Ali did here is bravery. Big difference.
@@richardmilliken8705
Intelligence comes in many forms .
And the Kennedys , please - a bunch of criminals .
I was BLESSED to have his cousin across the street from my parent's home in Liemert Park section of LA. Thanks for the boxing and life lessons, Champ!
God do I miss your presence in this World!!!!! So sad that you are not here. You are The Greatest!
Eternally!!!
such contrast in looks....Ali is genius

And World Renowned Economist Thomas Sowell was in jail over the last 50 years. And the Greatest Guitar Player of All-Time
Jimi Hendrix was in jail.. And the Greatest Comedian of All-Time Richard Pryor was in Jail. And the Greatest Sprinter & Marathoner- Usaine Bolt & Eulicid Kipchoge were in jail. And the Greatest Entertainer- Michael Jackson was in Jail. And the Greatest Basketball Player of All-time- Michael Jordan was in jail.

After it's my time,
What I'd like to be remembered is,
He took a few cups of Love,
One table spoon of patience,
One teaspoon of generosity,
One pint of Kindness,
One pinch of Laughter.
He mixed it all together
with a loyal loving heart.
And spread it all around to those who deserved it.
Jesus this man. He was way ahead of time and I am sorry that he didn't have more time
This is when you look an obstacle right in the eyes & crack a smile 😁.
1:14 that yawn! The champ was bored to death during that intro 😅
True to his word, Muhammad Ali was the greatest of all time because to date nobody can compare with him. The eloquence, breaverly and the looks, quiet outstanding. Rest in peace champ, we never saw you in person but we heard about you as if you lived in our backyard. However, I seen you thanks to you tube.
Wonderful man
always the greatest
To be so young and to be as wise and know his mission in life at 28 is a true blessing. And as he aged he softened his view on integration and saw that Aligah Mohammed was a hypocrite who took advantage of young black women.
He followed his own truth and stayed true to his religion of peace. And later regretted turning against Malcolm X who became enlightened faster than he did.
Malcolm x was a little more enlightened and widely read.
Elajah Mohamed was a devil and non Muslim. He was misleading poor black people. He knew very little about Islam.
@@anthonysavio3875 most underrated activists.
He left the cult NOI and joined Islam just like Malcolm X
NOI is a corrupted wish version of real islam
The fact that the greatest martial art philosopher on earth took something from him is enough for me to consider him the greatest ever. His common sense and intelligence is another thing all together
👍
Bruce Lee wasn't the greatest. He was great but not the greatest
@@imback4more440 Bruce Lee was the greatest martial arts philosopher to ever appear on screen. And he had martial arts talent to back up his philosophy. Till today, no one else even comes close to being as great

Its amazing how his mind was so fast.
