A Very Touching Tribute To Muhammad Ali by Billy Crystal
Vložit

- Memorial service in Louisville, Kentucky for boxing legend Muhammad Ali. Funeral procession begins at 9 a.m. EST
Muhammad Ali and his innermost circle started a document years ago that grew so thick they began calling it "The Book."
In the pages, the boxing great planned in exacting detail how he wished to say goodbye to the world.
"The message that we'll be sending out is not our message - this was really designed by The Champ himself," said Timothy Gianotti, an Islamic studies scholar who for years helped to plan the services.
"The love and the reverence and the inclusivity that we're going to experience over the coming days is really a reflection of his message to the people of planet Earth."
The 74-year-old three-time heavyweight champion wanted the memorial service in an arena. He wanted multiple religions to have a voice while honoring the traditions of his Muslim faith. And he wanted ordinary fans to attend, not just VIPs.

I'm an 64 yes old exmarine white boy from Iowa and as far as I'm concerned Ali was the best man and decent human anybody could know. Rest in peace sir and thank you for what you stood for and believed in
Well said. 64 ex-army infantry white as well. All the best to you and yours. Indeed. Muhammad was a shining spark for freedom, kindness and how to be a leader.
So touching bro, from the RSA 🇿🇦
why you feel the need to say you are white?....you fool

George Foreman said it best:
"Ali was beautiful. When he smiled, talked, it was a beautiful thing to see.
He was a poem."
Don't cry because it ended, be joyful it happened... RIP Muhammad Ali 🙏🏼
Superstitious graffiti right here children 👆
Wow I needed to see this comment. As my dad passed away in April. Thank you seriously for posting this comment.
💯
yes
Best comment. Gonna have to steal it bro
The tears in my eyes from the remarks of Billy Crystal. I wish the world was the way in which he spoke. No wars, no hate, just love peace, and happiness!!😢
Read Revelations in the Holy Bible. Your peace will come when the antichrist declares peace.
If that isn't a true statement, I don't know what is! 🌹
Add freedom
Don’t be sad.. there is way more happiness, love & great humanity than there is evil! Keep spreading the good!

@@cliffallstadt3981 same for me
I'm a Vietnam veteran, 70 years old, and proud to have lived in the lifetime of Ali. He was an inspiration to all people of all races and religions. I'm not embarrassed to say I cried after the Trevor Berbeck fight which Ali should never have taken. Not unlike the tears I'm shedding now watching this video. To a wonderful human being the world misses everyday.
Iiikkpp
Thank you for your service. I turned 18 tell 7-20-55. I was about 7years old when Ali beat Liston. Sports Iliastrated had Ali picture on front page.I was hooket from then one.I like the fact that you being a veteran and not turn against Ali.I cried when Holmes beat him. Why they finally gave him a licences to fight. Knowing he already had fbrain damage. People that know a lot about Ali say that in real life he was very humble. He joked around a lot. Great since of humor. Elvis Pressly said he was as nice of a man you could ever meet. It's very good to hear a veteran not hate the man. Refreshing. TC

Muhammad Ali (a Muslim) and Billy Crystal (a Jew) show the way that human beings should go and I admire both of them ❤️ just love each other. My own family , my dad (his mom was white she was Irish and Catholic ; his dad was Hispanic from the Dominican Republic ,of mixed ethnicity and Catholic) my mom was of African American and Indigenous heritage and a Protestant. My parents were married for 37 years until my dad passed away. Just love , 💕
GOD BLESS THE LOVE OF EVERY NATION OF PPL. IT SHOW THAT WE SHOULD LOVE EACH OTHER..
Spreading superstitious nonsense to the masses and stupefied is not the way no.
@@henryhill1876 Zeus your God?
I was going to write such a comment until I read yours.. well said..
@@matimus100 nothing superstitious in what be said.
It’s 2022 and I am still watching this in June and with tears in my eyes and this is the most profound tribute to the GOAT
just brilliant, truly remarkable. i've seen it numerous times. never gets old.
Me2!
I watched some of the speakers at Ali's funeral, and Billy was the best speaker at that whole event. Then again, Billy is one of the greatest comedians of all times. He's currently up for a few Tonys, for a musical based on the first movie that Billy directed............MR. SATURDAY NIGHT!!!
That's because it's real and his spirit is positive
We are here with you too, gorgeous! What an incredible incredible tribute. We can only aspire to this level of greatness. Not just with those who mean most to us, but to those who are like Billy Crystal :) Imagine the love that those closest must have felt. Incredibly touching!
One of the best eulogies and speeches I have ever witnessed. No cards or teleprompter. Goosebumps!!!
Masterpiece
I agree! Billy Crystal was awesome., but you could tell he was hurting and missing his friend!
Bill Gates, Microsoft 365 a lot of virus to go through Twitter and affect her institutions, financial institutions and banking institutions warren. Buffett is named at $500 trillion lawsuit because he is musk is puppet master.
No cards?? What did he keep looking down at?? I agree but you don't have to exaggerate.
AMEN
Damn. I was incarcerated when this funeral took place. This was my father's favorite sports icon. His favorite comedian. Billy Crystal is a one in a million. What a fantastic honoring of his friend Ali. Damn. I laughed. I cried. That was an AMAZING send off for an AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, LEGENDARY man. Billy, what a wonderful job. RIP Ali.
Hope you are enjoying your freedom. Blessings and peace my friend.
M
The ancestors are afraid that the Americans have forgot the veterans of the Vietnam war the Korean War in the second world war so will have to fight him again so we’re suing the communist in court for $500 trillion instead stopped him and I center soldiers over there from around the world to fight against communism in return to be insulted, because the fake news lies about them
What a lovely , Lovely Home going... Muslims , Christians , Jewish and others ...all came together to say good bye to the Legend. ...Billy Crystal was so warm and gave such a lovely eulogy for his friend. RIP Mr. Ali... Greatest Of All Time
That is very true Rosa
And that how's supposed to be
Good to see Jews, Christians and Muslims come together. Emperor Constantine would never believe his eyes. Hahaha.
Ali the great will ever be great and his memories will will never fade .
Superstition is not the way
The most emotional I've ever seen Billy Crystal.
32 years living with parkinson without losing his smile ..this man solid as mountain
Yep. That’s a tough go. Parkinson’s can break even the strongest individual.
He's gone but he will never die😪
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
“To live in his time” I connected with Billy Crystal when he said that. Cassius Clay later Muhammad Ali did things us people of color would not dare do or say. His bravery inspired a young Hawaiian girl to stand up for my beliefs. Mahalo Ali.
I have no doubt Ali was looking down smiling and laughing...Proud of his little brother once again.
Billy Crystal was outstanding 😎
Not to me he's not
Amazing. And no notes. Just heart.
@@matimus100 I sorry for you lol
*Is
Beautifully said Billy Crystal ‼️💯💫. R.IP. Muhammad Ali 🙏❤️
I’m coming back after years to watch this again. RIP Mohammed Ali
"Life is best when you build bridges between people, not walls." Thank you, Billy Crystal, for this wonderful tribute to my birthday bud.
I hope more people would have the same heart; lets work together to build a better world, instead of tearing each other apart. I love Ali's caring statement.
I loved that part. And so true. How I wish this America had the same -instead of hate and division.
They should sit the Trumps of this world down and force them to watch it over and over until they get it.
@@darahdoyle3176 I'm not a fan of the dude, but Trump Derangement Syndrome will make you think he's the cause of all the problems. Instead, he built more bridges than any other president since practically WW2. As far as a wall, not every wall is a negative thing. That's why, although Biden repeatedly said 'we will not build a single foot on the wall', Biden is now spending billions building the wall because without a wall, any nation without one sustains a gigantic spike in physical and criminal violence (as we in the US have), a huge spike in economic destruction (one of many reasons the inflation disaster is going on right now), and several other destructive issues. So don't bash every wall...because sometimes you WANT to have a wall between a destructive force that will kill you and your precious life you wish to continue living.
@@williegates627 well made point. There are always two sides to a fence, or a wall!
Man Billy Crystal should do a master class in public speaking. I could listen to him describe events for hours.
I _agree!_
Absolutely.
Exactly!
Absolutely
No doubt!
A remarkable tribute from Mr. Crystal to a legendary man. Who can forget the sight of Ali lighting the torch at the 1996 Olympics. I think the entire world was moved to tears of respect. Thanks for this, Billy!
This is pure love. Pure embracing. This is the real stuff. Muhammad Ali and Billy Crystal. The finest specimens of humans. They refused to believe in hate and hate mongering. I loved it so much that I immediately shared this video with my students of Political Science in Delhi University.
My head bows to these universal men from America!
Well done, Little Brother.
Nuf said
Ali refuse draft
Phronesis 666 your point?
Yes, Phronesis.......it was the 1960's, and Ali was protesting the draft for a war that America didn't need to be sending good men to die in......
@@JimGrafitti with all the racism that was going on I would not want to go either. Why would you fight for a country that discriminates.
I come back and rewatch this every now and then just to remind myself how important humility is. What a wonderful eulogy by Billy! Class personified!
@James Hama t
Me too.....
Man that was good 💘
Sorry but I have to disagree with you brother. Watching this video about fifty times already, and every time I got angrier and angrier. And not about the performance of Billy, but about how the Jews are treating all their neighbors in 2022. Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Iran which is Bout 700 miles away from Israel. And my take about Israel is the following: before they landed there, every religions could live in peace with each other! It was not a mistake to call it the Riviera of the Arab world! And about Humility, dude, they are worst human beings among religious believers. Just like their big brother the USA all think that they are some kind of special. Yes it’s true that to. Special interest is their speciality. So, if I want to have visit, and experience friendly and human warmth, I defenetely not gonna visit Israel! I will go their next door neighbors, and any can show more Humility than the friendliest Jewish family can!!!
@@bubamaranovichok4901The Jewish people believe they are the chosen people of God and the rest of us are what rejected people of God lol.Religions are a poison to the human mind and a major hindrance to human progress.
I'm here because I wanna cry and I know I'll surely cry. RIP Legend 🕊️
"You had to live in his time." I'm so glad that I did. A man, a fighter, a champion to honor and respect. And you, Billy Crystal, did just that. Bless you for this eulogy.
Muhammed Ali never to be repeated total legend . Thank you
He only encouraged superstition to the stupefied and Children
Do you know more about him?
One of the greatest speeches I have ever heard . Always been a big Billy Crystal fan , but this was something special . Absolute masterclass in public speaking .
I'm like, Billy has grown up
What a staggeringly beautiful, heartfelt tribute to and celebration of Ali.
Billy Crystal shows such incredible class and love.
Extraordinarily moving.❤️
Billy you brought tears into my eyes what an amazing speech, just love,peace and happiness ❤❤❤.
Lll 😊i😊😊😊
No tears for me but Billy Crystal rolled through this like a Boss. That’s what talent looks and sounds like
That was a speech. Should belong to the National Archive.
No… seriously!
I’ve never seen a better tribute
He is a living legend, A loving father an amiable person and most of all a Muslim brotherhood may Allah Grant him jannatul firdaus.
Ameen 🤲
Billy's Eulogy of Mohammad Ali should be a staple for all (athletes or not)! Billy truly did love Ali, A great review for a Great Man!
I remember the first time I met Ali. I was 5 or 6. And I was waiting at the bus stop with my grandmother on Bardstown rd. And here comes this man jogging down the street and stopped to talk to my grandma. Apparently he knew my grandfather or something like that. I was in awe of this happy joyful man. He asked my name. I told him Dawn. He told me my name meant light of day. Then he told me to always be the light. I will always remember him as kind and loving to ALL people. He didn't care if you were black, white, Catholic, Muslim or Jewish. He cared because you were human and that was how he was period.
He was/is the greatest of all times.
Perfect Eulogy speech, funny, endearing, poignant, and utterly heartfelt. He really, genuinely loved the man.
MO⁹
Yes both loved each other. Black and white. That's the way it should be forever.
Best ever

you gotta feel for billy crystal losing two of his most dearest friends Robin Williams and Muhammad Ali two great men who touched the hearts of the world with their amazing talents, humanity and kind hearted ness we should all wish for a friend/ brother like crystal who pours his heart out when speaking about the ones he loved
Muhammad Ali... worlds will remember that name
I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Ali. Humble and kind. Was honored to be in his company.
I found Muhammad on youtube a few years ago and the impact he had on me was something I'll never forget. I was terribly shy and lacked confidence to a point where everyone including my friends and parents were always commenting on it. I watched his videos probably for a couple of hours and I realized that he didn't believe he was the greatest because of his success in boxing, he had success in boxing because he believed he was to be the world champion. It didn't happen over night but ever since in every task I do I change my mindset to believe that I will be the world champion of this task. It's cheesy but it really works. I use it at my crappy retail job, school, sports, chores, everything. I even wear necklace to remind me whenever I feel like coasting. RIP Muhammad Ali, I'll never forget you and neither will the world.
Great story now ill start crying again thank you he had an impact on me as a young preteen and teenager I too was shy this was late 60' early 70's see I loved Ali I was not a real strong kid I too was shy growing up in a rough Philly neighborhood I had to learn to fight he gave me my boxing style to help me out in those mean streets thank you Ali RIP to the Greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your comment. "The World Champion of this Task." Beautiful. That mind set imbues everything you do with a deep sense of commitment and integrity. No task is too small or too large for it. It has me thinking about the ways I let myself "off the hook" in my own life. Thanks for the lovely reminder to start thinking of myself as "The World Champion" of my own life. :) Cheers.
Gillian G Thnak you much Gillian G Ali was our world Champ and the integrity awesome!!!
Great point
well said sir....
unforgettable personalty he was .....
May Allah pak give you a great rewards in haven......ameen
Now that was a speech!

Muhammad Ali transcends. There is really no other way to describe him. The Butterfly. 🦋 🙏❤🕊
A truly beautiful and well deserved eulogy. A true champion in and out of the ring. The respect given to a man who earned every bit of it . RIP
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
When I was a boy, if Ali had a fight, the world stopped. My mother would let us stay up to watch, no matter the time, and with the time difference the thriller in Manilla and the rumble in the jungle both happened far past my bedtime. In a world of divided opinions, everyone was of the opinion that he was the greatest, and everyone was right. Respect sir...respect.
absolutely all of us would stay up [uk] to watch ali fight. great memories thanks!.
@@kevwalton272 young kid at the time. Ali's fights in the middle of the night , on a black and white tv may be my earlist memories of sport. I can play those memories in my head like a video , they're very special.
@@Wtfwasthatallabout same for me.
Your mother was one hellova mother! How lucky you were to have her.
Billy Crystal's Eulogy of Muhammad Ali was indeed beautiful. It shows that he was a true friend of Ali's. Billy is a credit to his Jewish people. Having a friend like Billy Crystal, is what makes life worth while. I can see why Ali referred to him as Little Brother. God bless you Billy for the kinds words on behalf of the Champ. (Vilmore Shirley in Gainesville, Florida

To Vilmore:
Thank you for your comments. Muslim people, Jewish people, Christian people, all people: let's care for one another.
We don't have HEROS like Muhammad Ali ANYMORE.
Great stories Mr. Billy Chrystal. Thank you for expressing all of our sentiments.
Words won’t describe this man’s incredible description of “The Greatest “
Mr. Crystal, you did an excellent job.
"Life is best when you build bridges between people, not walls". I hope we all remember that.
Well Israel has a big ass wall too so Billy should direct that message to his own people first
Remember Orlando in November.
I hope Donald Trump HEARS this BRIDGES & NOT WALLS
Even if he hears it I don't think it will make any difference. DT listens to no one but DT.
one thing about Ali was when he successfully brought back 15 us hostages from saddam hussein hands before iraq war
i just love Billy Crystal, something about this guy ....kindness , pureness , ....i don't know what is it... what a good man...god bless you Billy... and rest in peace Muhammad Ali....
It’s his humility I believe that sets him apart
The greatest athlete in the world! He continues to touch our hearts.
Handsome, poetic, let us know how he would NOT fight against people that never ever lifted a finger against him.
He taught us a lesson. Turn the other cheek, but always state your opinion with love & kindness
Muhammad Ali, you will always be in our hearts.
Billy Crystal inspires us all as much as Muhammad Ali did. Thank you Billy and that was a fantastic memory of Ali to always remember forever how Ali changed the world and brought us all together. Amen
Great eulogy by Little brother for Big brother..Ali is big
I have always had the greatest respect for Mohammed Ali, he stood alone and above for everyone....
A fitting and beautiful eulogy, thank you Billy Crystal....
I had never seen this clip before, but my love for Billy and Ali just grew a million times, what a tribut of respect and love to a great man of our short history!
As a Hispanic growing up in Ali era he was my hero. He represented the underrepresented and boy did I love him. I was glued to his every fight and everything he stood for. Brilliant is an understatement. He was put her by God as an example of what we should all strive for. RIP Champ love you!
This speech tells you everything you need to know about Ali. Just a lovely decent human being and a credit to us all.
Definitely
You are right friend 😊
Quite beautiful even from 2022 perspective. Who is here now? Who will help us light the way? Ali left us a pathway to follow.
AMEN.....
December 30, 2023 and this still brings tears to my eyes.
I’m hearing this for the first time. Awesome! Wonderful! Loved this tribute.
that was Muhammad Ali, he brought people together. Be at peace now Muhammad you deserve it.
Im still watching this and very grateful for this tribute to our champion of the world, thank you Billy 🥰🥰
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
Wow. What a phenomenal tribute. I loved Ali!
“35 years after he stopped fighting, he is still the champion of the world”
Sums up Ali in that one sentence. When you hear the word “Greatest” no one else comes to mind but Ali.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
This the most beautiful memorial service speech anyone can write. BILL CRYSTAL YOU MADE YOUR BIG BROTHER PROUD
I usually watch this when I am down and out and need to be uplifted.
Muhammad Ali is one of the greatest human that ever graced this planet. I MEAN THAT WITH EVERY FIBER IN MY BODY
That was beautiful.
My father met Ali in an airport. My father saw him go by as he hurried for a flight. This was after he lost his title. My father called out to him “hey champ”. Ali stopped turned around and went back to meet my father and spend a few moments talking to him. My father was floored and so happy and honored that he took the time to do that. To me that always said a lot about the man.
Thanks for sharing !!
“The most famous muslim man in the world, honoring his jewish friend”
They need to put this part on TV again for the world to be reminded,
That no matter what ethnic background you come from we can all still be brothers.
Exactly ‼️💯😊
Yup
No words to describe how great Ali was.
The best part of me living in Miami Beach was not the ocean. It was the fact that Muhammad spent a lot of time there, and he first became famous there when he beat Sonny Liston.
His morning road work was running from Overtown in Miami to Miami Beach, across the long bridge connecting the two cities. Every time I drove across that bridge, all I could think about was Ali.
When he passed away the world lost its most famous man.
As for Miami Beach, it was never the same after Muhammad. We adopted Ali and he became the biggest part of the city. Everything seems so empty without him.
Weird
I'm nobody just a fan of boxing all my life and Ive been lucky enough to have lived through the Ali era and even see him in a boxing exhibition. I loved the man, the standards he set set in boxing and life can never be equaled. He was THE GREATEST.
Ali was a class act, and a timeless gentleman!
Absolutely amazing tribute from a friend to a friend! 🙏🏼
That was a beautiful heartfelt speech from Billy...funny and sad also at the discrimination. What an amazing connection between Ali and Crystal.. ❤❤❤❤
Muhammad Ali was the most noble honorable Boxer that ever lived.
And a honorable man also. Old school
@@tazjammerAli was recognized worldwide more than the Pope and Ronald Reagan. In the early eighties he went to Syria and gained the release of hostages without any media entourage. I think the hostages did appear on Nightline explaining their experience and gratitude, no glory for himself, I watched it on TV blew me away. Ali truly the GOAT
This brought tears to my eyes. I’ve watched it before, and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes. 🌹🥊❤️
Your words as beautiful as his moves,grace and beliefs. He was truly one of a kind. Made people happy in and out of ring and the best of all his opponents even though knocked out never hated him, such was his aura. RIP champ.
That was a magnificent speech for the man and legend Billy called his "Big Brother".
Brilliantly delivered .. didn't know Billy was thaaat good..smh
He's always been.
Typical Millennial don't know nothing but reality TV
@@AP-dn5si he said something very nice. Yours is the first negative comment I've seen here.
Many will never fully understand what a great statement Billy made there that day. Perfect in content and masterful in delivery. From the heart, not read from a sheet of paper. I dont think anyone could have honored a man as well as I just witnessed here. God Bless both men.
The shared love and respect is obvious and inspiring!

Ali is an inspiration to all of us everywhere!! His legacy will live on to eternity!

Billy Crystal did an incredible job paying tribute to one of greatest athletes, if not "the greatest" of our time - well done Billy...well done! RIP Muhammad Ali!
Hi how are you doing?
Now that’s an amazing tribute 💛🙏💛
I know I've watched this before, but had forgotten how incredible it was. Billy gave the perfect send off to a legend.
That was a heartfelt and spectacular tribute that had many crying. Little brother reminding all of us that Ali was a simple man who,s beliefs brought awareness of what was wrong in this great country. We still have more challenges ahead and we have Ali,s memories to help us on this journey for peace and equality, Amen.
