Ali was very intelligent! I agree that he's a bit mouthy, but that is his personality! Most WHITES hated him for this, but Ali was sincere & bold with his statements/facts! You either LIKE or HATE Ali!! I loved him for more than just being a GREAT boxer, but a bright outspoken BLACK that didn't mind telling like it is/was!!
Both of these guys were the class of the field. I was fortunate to grow up in their era and followed all of it daily. RIP to 2 of the best fighters and classy gentlmen.
Dude eveb Ali admitted that was wrong and he went to far when he said that. Joe supported Ali when he was banned from boxing and Ali started rediculing him to promote the fight between them. Joe was a proud but private man. No fucking uncle Tom
@@easygrin1127 Agree. I admire both men, but, even though Ali was really just promoting the fight, I think he went, perhaps a bit too far with Frazier. I don't mind him doing this with Liston or Foreman, as both were unlikable thuggish types. Foreman, would later evolve and do a 180 in the disposition dept, but in the 70s he was a sullen jerk. But Joe Frazier was a good guy, a fighter with enormous heart and a gentleman. He was no match for Ali, in terms of wit, but they were both ring warriors and their three bouts together, were classics, esp the last one. Glad they reconciled at the end.
@@waynej2608 yes if they had fought a 100 times it would have been close each time... In their first fight Ali said to Joe somewhere in the final rounds: Joe i hit you over 90 times you gotta go down ... you must be crazy ..to which Joe replied:Thats right! Im Crazy!!! And in their third fight he said in the early rounds...:They told me you was all dried up Joe.. They told me you were finished..: Joe said:They lied...
I wonder if Ali knew how much he was loved and admired? Even though we can watch him on any social media there is a void in my life as well as millions world wide I'm sure knowing he has gone to heaven.
SteveO Rules Ali was well aware of his popularity. He spoke about it often enough lol. He was just as entertaining outside of the ring as he was in it. For those that were not born in this era, Ali was said to be the most well know man on the face of the earth. Remember no internet. No google. His fights were events. I can't think of any other athlete who has had such an impact as Ali did. He was a champions' champion.
Well I'm in Joe Frazier fan so I definitely don't like Muhammad Ali butt got to respect him. What those men did to each other especially in the Philippines when it was 110 degrees in an arena where everyone was smoking cigarettes 30,000 people packed into an aluminum roofed Stadium for fight that opening bell went off around 10:30 a.m. in a tropical climate I don't know how they did it they don't make men like this anymore
I love watching Ali. He's the only man here who has the courage to say what he believes which is the essence of life and being a man. he makes everyone else look like insecure fools !
That era in heavyweight boxing was just amazing! In addition to Ali and Frazier, there were many exciting, formidable fighters: Jerry Quarry, George Foreman, Oscar Bonavena, Ken Norton, Ron Lyle, Jimmy Young, Ernie Shavers, Larry Holmes. Great fighters, great fights.
Ali in there three fights never manhandled Frazier. They were monumental battles. I wouldn't dare take anything away from Frazier because he wasn't book savvy. He was a genius boxer, and that deserves RESPECT!!
Your exactly right, Frazier to me was the best boxer of that time. His up and down movement ducking all the time gave Ali a lot of trouble. Ali had a hard time hitting him and when Joe popped up he would nail Ali.Ali was great movement and style no doubt although he relied on a lot of punches to finish off opponents where Joe was strong, fast and unpredictable.
Don't know why he tried to go that way with Ali he should've known already. He was doing that for ratings and oh he got ratings alright but not the kinda ratings he was looking for.
True champion. Muhammad Ali spoke in his interviews as if he was sitting in the barber shop. And, he did this at a time when racial tensions were at there highest. This was a great man. But, that's all over with. These weaklings in sports today, have no real motivation. They stand for nothing. Just look at them. A picture is worth thousand words. Just look at them. Peace.
Great compliments Christopher about Ali. Most or perhaps all BLACK athletes are/were scared to tell the TRUTH of BLACK struggles, esp when they're making millions! They're scared they'll lose everything. Can't blame athletes today though, because if they did speak truthfully, they'll lose everything. That's another reason why Ali is in a class of his own! There was NEVER another athlete to speak out on LIFE'S STRUGGLES like Ali. He said that MOST wouldn't, but wanted to. "YOU CAN'T TAKE NOTHING FROM ME I AIN'T HAD". You gotta love how Ali handled WHITE AMERICA,.esp in those days!!
LeBron James and Colin Kilpatrick come to mind. You definitely can't paint them with the same brush as all the other athletes... but I agree with you. Athletes today in general are a joke compared to Ali. To be honest... comparing anyone to Ali will be considered a joke. All we can do is learn from him and make sure we stand up to oppression and not leave it in the hands of others. Peace.
Mohammed: “The people who are watching this show right now I hate to say it but when your show comes on next time a lot of those people will be dead” He was so smart and has a message inside. ❤️ RIP
What an incredible difference between listening to the profane, money waving, gold draped lowbrows posing as greatness over the last few decades.No one has ever had Muhammad Ali's charisma. Joe Frazier did not get the credit he deserved for his intelligence. He understood very well about promotion and marketing. Few understood how good of friends Joe and Ali came to be. This kind of character and respect is sorely lacking in sports period. Let alone boxing. Boxing could be the headline sport it ONCE was. We just don't have any headliners. But then again. There will never be the likes of these two gentlemen fighters again.
They never became friends, Ali apologized to all things he said against joe Frazier, but joe said he had forgiven him but was bitter towards him until to his last day sadly.
Smokin fraizer was tough I admit , but not talented , he had no style , he just move forward and push , and you never enjoy watching him fighting or talking ..
@@CZcamsOfficial.Egy. He had one of the most brutal left hooks ever what are you talking about and as far as listening to him talk joe was a down to earth guy no bullshit.
@@CZcamsOfficial.Egy. No talented? Bruh just look how with one eye change his position without getting hit the best defence in 60s and 70s. He's head movement was insane but more insane was his timing. Every punch had purpose. So stop talk nonsense and open your eyes. And learn what means talent.
@@blacksaga6379 Brother , I can open my eyes , and see what talent is because I was a figher one day , I am sure that the definition of talented is different with you and me , to me , farizer had two modes only , and both were fixed not adaptable , he was like a machine , tough and trained so well , but not adaptable , not creative , can't create a new idea in the match whenever he want , so to me he was not talented , he was professional figher , thats why I cant enjoy watching him , he is so predectable , and use his toughness so much more than his mind , fraizer was a great wrestler , not a talented figher.
Love how Ali...like a school kid...steals Joe's thunder ...highlights there is a split screen and both are on it....then Ali starts clowning....totally mad!
Everyone on here is as usual talking as if Ali is some kind of Saint. Well, I’m going to say how great Joe Frazier was. Joe was a courageous and brave fighter with enormous ability. He was also a wonderful man with a kind heart.
He was a saint, in fact WHEN it comes to Boxing - Ali was a T-Rex with a pretty face. And Yes Joe Frazier was INCREDIBLE!!! Put Joe in any other era and he would have been the greatest of that era
MuhammadAli_GOAT he wasn’t a saint. He was a man, and he was as full of shit as everyone else. The only thing that set him apart was the fact that he was a wonderfully talented boxer. But a saint, I think not. He was no better man than Joe Frazier.
The way he shows around the house with Brutal Honesty and Amazing Commentary, Muhammad Ali could have been the Greatest Real Estate Agent of all Times.
Muhammad Ali was one FINE HANDSOME MAN.....with enormous personality. Frazier was a good looking man too. Both had tremendous talent and had a lot of mutual respect for eachother. Muhammad took boxing to another place...he launched it into another status. He will alway be known as the GREATEST OF ALL TIME. GOAT.
For me I only see Ali Joking with Frazier always but at the same time very serious. He and Joe loved each other. Ali with the charisma, helping them to gain more and more fame through his antics. He was just putting a show always knowing he was very hilarious
great vid!! Ali had a great effect on my life. I played and loved sports, but rarely watched boxing because seemed boring. two guys beating each other up. when Ali came around and he stirred up a lot of feelings in people exposing a lot of racism. also, I remember racist people wanting to see someone beat / shut that "N" up. those behaviours and reactions hooked me in with Ali, to be entertained by him. i have always supported his method, his style, his truths, his opposition to a useless war. he talked that way to his opponents , to bring in large crowds.he was a showman!! . joe frazier loved Ali. I seen joe get teary eyed talking about Ali s parkingsons disease. I seen him sitting with joe after they retired, as friends. all the fighters who fought him, should appreciate the big money purse he brought to their fights. the big names like joe frazier , George forman , larry holmes, etc, give their gratitude to Ali. Ali was a good human.
They were, especially that Oreo comment by the main interviewer, who had the nerve to harp on Ali about mentioning color. I stand with Ali. You simply couldn't put anything past the white folks from that era. American society was still VERY racist at that time, and thankfully, Muhammad Ali vocalized it EVERY CHANGE HE HAD! Much respect to the brother. He was not afraid and knew his worth!
I consider Joe Frazier in my own personal opinion one of the greatest underrated boxers of all times, who in the beginning try to be a very good friend toAli, he helped Ali when no one would and look how Frazier was treated.
Hello Warrick,I'm sorry that you have been very misinformed about theirrivalry , I can tell you where you can look at the documentaryyourself and you could see that Ali was always annoying and very disrespectful. It was on the HBO special I think you can find it on DVD, but if you ever get the chance to see it, I thinkyou will be giving me another reply saying that I was absolutelyright. Thanks for the reply.A. Morris
@@angelamorris6598 You are right Angela, Frazier did help Ali out when he was band from boxing. Ali went a bit too far with some of the things he said to Frazier. But I think it was because Ali knew Frazier was the real deal. He couldn't get to Frazier as easily as he could with other opponents.
I agree frazier for me is a top 10 fighter of all time.. he was a undersized man n he was all heart ❤️ Frazier is my favorite fighter of all time.. manny is second then tommy hearns
Ali actually complimented Frazier twice in this interview. In response to the question about whether the could kill each other in a fight, Ali said two of the "greatest boxers"; referring himself and Joe Frazier. He this twice
Yes, Frazier wanted to kill him, as well as MOST WHITES in them days! Frazier thought Ali was going to fight him the same way in fight 1. Ali knew Frazier hated him & tried to kill him in fights 2 & 3. Ali was not scared at all & was properly prepared!
Both of them had pure class. I'm watching this on Christmas day morning and I can't think of anything else I'd rather watch. Better get my shit together soon it 6am and I need to start cooking.
A time when Boxing was not only a Sport but fine entertainment with great Personalities enhancing the "Game". Anybody know who the 3 best Heavyweight Boxers are today? Didn't think so
I like how ali corrected the host he did not call Joe a dog. You can tell there was a line he would not cross and only wanted to sell the fight. I miss real boxing😭
That was some great stuff ,can you imagine these guys in today's world with all the social media stuff ,they probably wouldn't partake doesn't seem like their styles , but it would b something with promotion and that level of competition and competiveness
Ali was really smart, he knew the importance of education, a true visionaire
Ali was very intelligent! I agree that he's a bit mouthy, but that is his personality! Most WHITES hated him for this, but Ali was sincere & bold with his statements/facts! You either LIKE or HATE Ali!! I loved him for more than just being a GREAT boxer, but a bright outspoken BLACK that didn't mind telling like it is/was!!
But, sadly his answer to the question about being hit in the head, is heart breaking and wrong.
Maybe but joe was all heart and relentless
I am white and I always liked Ali as boxer, as human and his frankness to say what there was to say,, in any moment 👍 then was smart
Having a trade
"They just hear the bell and go to Church" lol
That was Ali. Always joking around.
this line killed me bro haha
@MUFC soccer is bullshit
-does he knos the lamp is missing?
-naaaah, he's missing
CLASSIC.
This was some good TV entertainment back in the day...
Still is!
It still is now brother
Still better than today's trash
Both of these guys were the class of the field. I was fortunate to grow up in their era and followed all of it daily. RIP to 2 of the best fighters and classy gentlmen.
This puts Mcgregor and mayweather to shame...
Ye well they are in a whole different class
Who?
This puts everything to shame
Connor is a pile of dog shit.
Sub-Zero doesn’t it! Not a single swear word.
Ali was kidding all the time...Was a great actor and had a unique sense of humor
Sofia, Ali may have played like he was joking, but at the same time, he was dead as serious & sincere! Believe That!
Joe had a little bit of fun there too specially when they talk about how he calls him Clay but he really didnt like Ali.

Ali’s intelligence was unparalleled, a true legend.
Back when even the trash talkers had class and stood up for their brother/opponent. God bless these two great champions!
Ali was so talented , boxing and a world icon. Also such great television. Nothing compares to this today
10:26 watching Ali's footwork is like watching Michael Jackson dance, amazing man
I love watching Ali. He's the only man here who has the courage to say what he believes which is the essence of life and being a man. he makes everyone else look like insecure fools !
Sure does!
He was the true master.
i wanna be more like Ali
@@abdullahsheikh6368 Ali would say be yourself, and don't be afraid to express yourself of stand up for what you believe.

Your seeing the best athletes of all time. Two great fighters who brought out the best in each other..Boxing will never be like this again.

He was "Smokin Jack!!!"
@jeffrey mung what? U clearly don’t know boxing. Frazier was a beast
Ali was truly a once in a lifetime human being
18:19 Signs of Ali's greatness ....may his beautiful Greatest of all souls rest in peace
What a brilliant interview just amazing mix of seriousness and light hearted fun.
22:01 what Ali said was deep. Thats why they changed the subject
Real talk they shut him down with a commercial.
Don't know why he tried to go that way with Ali he should've known already. He was doing that for ratings and oh he got ratings alright but not the kinda ratings he was looking for.
He was 100% correct. RIP Mohammad Ali and Joe Frazier
@Great White Cat do you mean dick cavett? no he is not racist,they were friends with ali,he is just a talkshow host and he must protect the show.

loved joe..he was the original tyson..Ali and Joe forever linked in eternity forever missed.

Ali never lost to fraizer again since then and won all next matches to fraizer !!
I met the both of them RIP guys
Real men with pure class. Today's lot are embarrassing!
Both of them had pure class. I'm watching this on Christmas day morning and I can't think of anything else I'd rather watch. Better get my shit together soon it 6am and I need to start cooking.
Two real greats.
A time when Boxing was not only a Sport but fine entertainment with great Personalities enhancing the "Game".
Anybody know who the 3 best Heavyweight Boxers are today?
Didn't think so
First and last time Ali was ever in that cabin lmfao
Nah. He trained for that fight at that cabin.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was in a tent on the palace grounds in Santo Domingo Dominican Republic April 1965 during the civil war listening to the Clay- Liston fight.
O wouldn't be surprised if they slipped sumthin to Ali to make him the way he was at the end of his career, Ali had a powerful voice..
I like how ali corrected the host he did not call Joe a dog. You can tell there was a line he would not cross and only wanted to sell the fight. I miss real boxing😭
not a dog but when he called him a gorilla in the third fight, it's ok i suppose lol
Super Smart for that Era 🥊💯🥊🔥
That was some great stuff ,can you imagine these guys in today's world with all the social media stuff ,they probably wouldn't partake doesn't seem like their styles , but it would b something with promotion and that level of competition and competiveness
"Can I have another glass of dirty water" good one lol
-does he knos the lamp is missing?
-naaaah, he's missing
was hating frazier for not calling Ali his name but actually he deserves alot respect for how calm and respectful he is in this interview
It’s not like Joe was calling him a “gorilla” or a “boy.” 🙄
Wow.... Mohammed Ali answer to study first and then boxing....is wonderful
This talk show host has been pathetically out to embarrass Ali since he lifted him sky high haha
What was Joe talking about at 12:20?
But WHERE IS PART 1?
Truth sayer look up man
It's where you find part 2 here I have
The drama starts at 08:35 cuz of one question. "What happens if you lose"?
