- One of the most Iconic, Influential and inspiring Personalities of our Time.
When Muhammad Ali stepped into the professional boxing ring in 1960, he changed the sport forever. No one had seen a heavyweight fighter with such speed and grace, nor heard one that spoke like a poet. And no one except him to fly in the face of authority and risk everything for his beliefs.

Ali may be dead, but he's my hero, always will.
Fat deal. Wthc?
I could watch Ali documentaries all day everyday
R.I.P. CHAMP. You're up there with the boy you met while training for the Foreman fight. You told him ,"you're going to beat cancer and I'm going to beat George Foreman", and the little boy said "no Muhammad, I'm going to meet God and tell him that I know you". Beautiful.
This bought a tear to my eye
that's great news
❤
At his peak , he was the most recognised face on earth ... for all the right reasons .
R.I. P . Great Man .
Instablaster.
That’s true, even more then Elvis and the Beatles coz Ali had Africa as well. Ali liked to say this
Ali had the worse record when compared to Foreman,Julio Cesar Chavis,Manny Pacquiao,Archie Moore,Holyfield,Roberto Duran,Rocky Marciano,shall i go on?
Cus D’Amato claimed Ali as the “boxing wizard”.
Angelo Dundee stated that Ali was “electric”.
Muhammad Ali is the reason Black athletes and entertainers are making the type of money they do. Ali was and is the G.O.A.T.
Just the his name alone will send shivers and adoration. The Greatest of All-Time.
R.I:P Muhamed Ali......."Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"
Muhammad Ali "King of the World"
I love you Ali!
You still are my Hero.
You have always inspired me to be a person.
RIP KING.
A boxer, a poet, a politician, and a religious leader. What else do you want from one person? He is a true legend.
He was a comedian as well
Ali was smart and funny. Also mad as hell somewhat.
Great doc Wayne. I am an African American Muslim and my Dad and Ali were pretty close. I was able to spend time with him in the 80's. Thank you sir.
Man..great. I hung out with Adam n Eve yesterday..
Superman and Mr. Rogers were there
Stop telling lies lad
Ali, The Man, The Champ, The Icon. May he rest in peace
Ali was no ordinary man
He was very special
RIP
the more i watch & learn about Muhammad Ali(the Greatest)...the more i realize he is more than the Greatest..He is one Charming persona.RIP champ!
In a time, when the word legend has became a cliche, Muhammad Ali IS the one who truly deserves it.
RIP LEGEND!

Great upload -- thanks. I cried at the end, I don't know why. Muhammad Ali is my personal hero and has been for as long as I can remember....and I'm an old lady now lol. He truly IS (not was, but IS) THE GREATEST.
The greatest athlete of all time.
HAHA I THOUGHT THAT WAS MICHEAL JORDAN?OR MAYWEATHER?OR FEDERER?OR BRUCE LEE?
His the greatest man ever
I myself have had times where I felt Unassure, even Scared, & where Doubt seems to be the only choice. When I turned to friends and family they just didn't have the answer, I look to this man for my Strength! Although I've never met The Greatest in person I know him well in my Heart & Soul & Spirit. For me He has been source of Unwavering Confidence. My Rock, My Muhammad Ali.
Thanks Champ
Morris Jaron Sweet words from the heart.👍🏼
That's beautiful. It's like he makes you want to be the best you can be in yourself, that in it's self is a gift.
Half of Europe stood up in the middle of the night just to watch Ali on TV. No other person could have had that effect on peoplle. Noone.
God, I wanted to be Muhammad Ali. Didn't matter that I was slow, awkward and white. He was my idol.
+Jinkinson sasa Me too. Loved Ali my entire life. Still learning from what he said. Competing on a professional level doesn't last very long. Being wise and insightful will benefit your entire life.
I would rather be frazier.
God, I wanted to meet Muhammad Ali.
Loser
@@paulcooper5748 I would rather be the man who beat the shit out of ALI and that was SMOKIN JOE FRAZIER!LOL!
The most beloved sports figure ever!! Muhammad will always be my all-time hero. Thanks for this upload.

It's amazing how Hana Ali looks like her dad. And she's beautiful
That bully is long forgotten and gone. But maybe he is the unsung hero that shaped a big part of who and what Ali became?
All his children looks just like him, all of his children are beautiful
@@stephenmiller3330 yea they sure are. Like Tyson said about Ali... "he's like a Tyrannosaurus rex and a model at the same time..."

All of daughters are absolutely beaitiful.
The bully should not be ashamed because of his obnoxious behavior came a great legend. STAND UP BULLY, GET YOUR LITTLE 15 Minutes of fame. The bully could've written a book.
God bless Muhammad Ali- the greatest.
Goodbye champ. Thanks for the memories and inspiration. I'm privileged to have lived in your same generation.
Muhammad Ali The Greatest of all time. In and out of the ring. Tyson Louis Marciano Dempsey Johnson Frazier Holyfield Holmes all of them bow down. Ali is the Master live it learn it know it love it.
The greatest of all times both in and out of the ring..I adored this man he was my idle. R.I.P. champ
He proved that he is really the greatest human being. He will always live in our hearts ♥️💙💚💗💐. God bless him 💓 Jannat ul firdous. Ameen summa Ameen ❤️💜🧡💛💚💙
MUHAMMAD ALI IS THE GREATEST BOXER SINCE CASSIUS CLAY...
Cassuis clay is muhammad ali dumbass
I KNOW DUMBASS! IT WAS A JOKE...
martadoso9Stupid joke. Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest boxer.
Daveed Anderson WALKER SMITH WAS THE "GREATEST" MIDDLEWEIGHT POUND FOR POUND, ALI WAS "GREAT" AS A HEAVYWEIGHT. GUESS WHO WALKER SMITH IS...
I can't be beat .
The most loved human being I have ever known. In the early 60’s I can remember as a child tuning my valve radio during the early hours and listening to the great man. Love you MA xx
My God,i loved him so.
He had the most beautiful eyes in his prime.
Nobody will ever come close to you Ali, no one will inspire us the way you did. RIP #muhammadali
How can you say that when Ali was beaten more than 4 times in the ring and MAYWEATHER is the undefeated boxing champion of the world?
@@rexrexrex67 It's not about the losses
@@rexrexrex67 Ali is much more than those losses. Ali was a special breed, you should never compare Ali with Mayweather. They can never be in the same Class.
That daughter definitely inherited his mannerisms, which are ,apparently, just as charming and "pretty" in a woman as they were in him.. love Ali
His daughter Hana just like the rest is FINE just like her Momma YES SIR 👍
ALI THE GREATEST!!!!
The greatest kindest man I have ever seen for the exception of my dad
Uncrowned King of the People of the world.
Champion of boxing in the ring, and outside the ring champion of boxing out the Malady that infected the society , the malady of injustice and unequality of the people. Champion to show all people are free.
The constitution that was written was lived by Mohammed Ali. May his soul rest in Peace for a job well done.
I miss watching Ali fights .he made u want 2 watch boxing.he made it one big event on TV u did not want miss. And he is the greatest of all time r.i.p.champ
he was a real muslim...we are proud of him.
George Foreman was in conversation with Gareth A. Davies Said---
I’ll be honest with you, Muhammad was, and even still is, a phenomenon. He is one of those special people. He was one of those things you see maybe only once in a lifetime.
Like a total eclipse. You are not going to see anything like that again. Boxing doesn’t do enough to define what he was.
Muhammad never really teased me. He saw me as I was. He really had this thing with Joe Frazier. He hated the fact that he loved Joe Frazier; Joe Frazier hated the fact that he loved Muhammad Ali.
They accepted there was something between them. Of course, he called me 'Frankenstein', but in reality, that was a compliment because I was definitely the Frankenstein monster. The only things he said about me, he said because they were was true.
One time, I heard him scream: ‘George Foreman’s not a real fighter. All he wants to do is kill somebody out there’. I remember asking myself - how did he know that? I wasn’t actually trying to box people, I was actually trying to kill people in the ring.
He was telling the truth.
Muhammad was the most gifted person I have ever seen.
That goes for politicians, movie stars, or anyone. Liz Taylor and Richard Burton had some of it, but not as much as Muhammad Ali.
He had everything - charisma, charm, looks and great athletic ability - and you hated him because the guy was handsome. You thought 'If I could just mess his face up a little', but you couldn’t get near him in that ring.
When I lost to Muhammad in the former Zaire, I was full of hate. I said to myself 'I’m going to come back, and I’m going to get him because I hate him'.
Then I left boxing, and I was on the street corner preaching. I’d cut off my hair, my moustache, and a lot of people were passing me by.
Then one day I started preaching that I had lost to Muhammad Ali, and I'd fought the great Joe Frazier, and it was those names that made people stop and pay some attention to me.
It was in that moment, for the first time, I really appreciated that I had been in the ring with him.
Who cared if I’d lost … Just to be associated with that name of Muhammad Ali was a blessing in my life. Was he a great boxer? No, he wasn’t. Muhammad was not a great boxer. I say that because his greatness went beyond boxing, beyond just being a boxer.
As a matter of fact, it would be belittling to him to label him ‘a great boxer’ because then people wouldn’t know that he changed the world. He really did. He changed the whole world. Give that title to Joe Louis or someone like him who really was a boxer.
It wasn’t about being a great boxer. Sure, he was a great boxer, but there have been a lot of better boxers.
His greatness was beyond the sport of boxing. Boxing was such a small part of what he could do.
I remember when I won the heavyweight championship of the world, we didn’t want to be called 'champion', what we really wanted was to be 'the guy who beat Muhammad Ali'.
We wanted that more than to be champion of the world. That’s really what we wanted. To beat Muhammad Ali. The truth is - nobody could beat Muhammad Ali.
Even when you beat him, people said you hadn’t really beaten him, nobody would say that he had lost, and they still wanted to get his autograph, and get the chance to get hugged and kissed by him.
Even when you had the belt. He made great society changes. I think with Muhammad Ali, when he went to Europe, Africa, Saudi Arabia, the whole world wanted to touch him. Period.
And all of a sudden they realised that this man had changed what people had looked at as beautiful. He defined beauty, handsome and brains. That changed the whole world. Not only in America.
His greatness was abroad as well. After 1981 we became the best of friends. By 1984, we loved each other. I am not closer to anyone else in this life than I am to Muhammad Ali. Why?
We were forged by that first fight in Zaire and our lives are indelibly linked, and the photographs, inextricably linked as young men and old men. As men, we have a love for each other.
In 1974, I was a big brooding mean heavyweight: I’ve become in a way like him. When I'm asked if I learnt anything from him, what I truly learnt from him - because I honestly hit him with some of the heaviest shots I’ve ever hit anyone with - I realised for the first time I was faced by a man who could not go down even if he wanted to.
He couldn’t fall because too many people were pulling for him. And I learnt that when I was fighting Michael Moorer [to become the oldest heavyweight champion in history, and oldest champion at that time.]
Sure I was being hit by shots and he was being hit by a lot of shots, but I remembered in that fight - and the one against Evander Holyfield - that when people depend on you, you just can’t decide I’m going down. You got to fight for what they believe in. That’s what I learned from Muhammad Ali.
Punches can hurt but you can’t go down when people are praying for you. You've got to stand there and take your punches. I didn’t know that when I fought him, but I knew that afterwards.
Maybe we are defined by our spirits. In Africa, with those people screaming for him, Ali just couldn’t do it. He just couldn't go down. When you have people pulling and praying for you, it’s a hard thing to be defeated. I think in the world of international sport, not just in America, you have Muhammad Ali. Then you have the rest.
He is the standard bearer for American sports. That era when Joe Frazier was heavyweight champion of the world, when I was heavyweight champ, and when Muhammad Ali was heavyweight champion was a golden era, that will never be repeated.
There was Jerry Quarry, Earnie Shevers, all the way down the line, deep, there were so many great contenders. There will never be an era with so many contenders, when, on any given night, one of those men could beat the other. That was the greatest era of boxing. Period.
I hope I live to see another era like that. But I don’t think we will. In my day, I’ve met a lot of World War II survivors, true heroes. You would not even notice if they had a wooden leg or a wooden arm, or one eye.
You don’t feel sorry for them. You feel blessed that they participated in the war for your sake.
So whenever I see Muhammad Ali, I feel such pride because he is a hero. Heroes always have their scars. Some you can see, some you read about later on. It’s just that we know about his. That man is a hero. What he endured, and what he suffered, is just what all heroes go through.
He’s not ashamed of it. He became the Greatest to me when he came out in front of the whole world and lit the Olympic torch in Los Angeles. He wasn’t ashamed. And to this day I am proud of him.
He’s a hero. I become a part of him every day. Every day I love him more. He doesn’t have to say anything now. The time has come where there is nothing else left to say. He said it all.
He’s the greatest American that ever lived. We have heroes, they weren’t representing anything. This is a real one, here.
There should be a Muhammad Ali Day in America.
"In hindsight I am so glad. He turned out to be one of the greatest boxers of all time. I would have got up and I could have really got hurt. If there was a quick count, I only benefited, " He was the greatest personality that sports has ever seen, or ever will see. He was the greatest personality ever.
"That night something strange and mysterious happened to me. I lost, of course, and I just couldn't understand. The punch that I had learnt to count on. I ran those punches and nothing happened. I thought it was kind of mysterious that I myself would be counted out.
Awesome Big George! Great essay thanks for sharing that man
I'm reminded of my step father, the only father I ever had. He told me when Ali first started, he watched every fight, he said, "That's the greatest boxer I've ever seen. As long as you live never never bet against him."(big praise as the old man loved Joe Louis). The old man didn't hesitate to tell any one who said anything bad about Ali "Love him or hate him, he stood up for what he believed. They took everything he had away from him, yet he stood strong. Now he's got it all back, you got to admire a man like that." I read Muhammad's book The Greatest, while visiting the old man, he was watching the movie, on tv. I mentioned I read the book, he said tell me about it. Dad only had a 3rd grade education, reading wasn't a strong point. I proceeded to give him an oral book report. He listened like a little kid, his eyes twinkled. I'll never forget that. The old man was gone 4 yrs later from cancer. But I remember when he said "Ali would've beaten Joe Louis, easily." Shocking but true. The old man taught me to respect people, all people. Treat them how you'd like to be treated. And most important perhaps, don't let anyone stand in your way when you're chasing your dreams. Let people talk bad all they want, you be you. I miss him so much, he's been gone since 1986, but I think of him often. I think of Ali too, both were what was once called "Mens men". Meaning the type of man every man should strive to be. I'm done.
The greatest fighter of all times. He is a gift of God. He was a boxer of knowledge and wisdom. He believes and and practise the norms and values that many failed to comprehend. He defeated all his critiques much loved despite his talkative attitude and handsome man who brought an end to the Vietnam war by refusing to be inducted. Muhammad Ali will remain historical as a human being. RIP CHAMP
R.I.P simply the greatest SPORTSMAN ever
When asked who my favorite athlete was, my answer is not Joe Montana, Babe Ruth, or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; my favorite athlete was and always will be Muhammad Ali.
I like the Babe slightly more than Abdul Jabbar and Montana, but Ali is the Champ.
I met Ali while I was in college in Miami 1975. He was the featured speaker on a Sunday at the Temple on 7th Avenue, I think.. Most amazing experience I had in college.
Muhammad ali greatest of all time and max respect to his wife
This was same wife who said that Ali started falling asleep at the dinner table after losing to Joe Frazier in 71' this is why i say Ali had brain damage not Parkinson.Parkinsons is a cover story to keep the Greatest legacy alive because in truth if it is brain damage and Frazier said he did it ,would mean that Ali wasn't as unbreakable as he boost he was since the 70's.That he really couldn't take the punches to the head in his 71' fight against Frazier and Frazier could take him punches against him.Frazier died without brain damage Ali was a proud man i understand that but he is still only flesh and bone in the end.

May peace be upon you Muhammad Ali. All praises due to Allah
Muhammad Ali a super human being in and out of the ring
I met Ali and Lonnie one night at a restaurant in Louisville in the early 2000’s. This was when he was completely afflicted with Parkinsons.
He could only communicate with a whisper, but let me tell you, I was in stitches. I won’t repeat what he said, but let me tell you, it was hilarious!
This man was blessed by God:
Yeah my ass.
@Raylan Givens Inquiring minds would love to know what he said, lol!
Right on!!
rest in peace champ
wow, thank you for sharing this documentary. I just feel better for having watched this.
RIP To The Absolute Greatest Boxer that ever lived, I remember when he came to Murray, Kentucky a while ago, he inspired me to get my Black Belt
Greatest of all times

Cool i'm pleased you enjoyed it - and more importantly you had'nt seen it before now ! All education should be free !

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee aaaaaaaaah rumble young man rumble aaaaaaaaaah rest in peace champ
Boxer of the century, world will miss yuu.
i´m a punk in my forties from the north of sweden, i ALWAYS been awere of the deeds of MA in the ring. If i cry everytime i look at the sappy 1996 olympics-open in Atlanta it must have been something special about this punk from Kentucky, (And I do, every f---ing time)
His greatest moment for which he deserves our undying respect was his refusal to serve in the armed forces in 1967.
He's a fucking coward thats what he is! While we have young men and woman dying on battlefields all over the world this coward is a hero yeah right we in the military community know he is nothing more than a grade one coward
@@maccmandagunmanecg97smccau26 --- You are an ignorant neocon cretin. Your IQ must be in the single digits. You think Vietnam was a good idea, asshole? Fuck you and your stupid fucking "military community". Your ignorance is disgusting.
MaccmandagunmanECG97S McCaul - it was recognized that the Vietnam war was an unnecessary war. His conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court with an 8-0 vote by the judges.
What has war achieved for the USA?? What has war achieved for the Veterans? Those who are able to come back; some are disabled, lost arms or legs, jobless, PTSD, no hope, many suicides committed.
Muhammad Ali stood up for his rights and beliefs. A black man who dealt with segregation, could not be served in an all white restaurant, racism, hatred, unfairness.
Their rights were minimal compared to white Americans. Then the armed forces need him to be drafted? So America goes to war and now he must serve the country which failed to abide by its own principles and foundations?
You are a joke.
Everyone had the same option to refuse so not sure why you call him a coward! Nobody was taken against their will they had option to refuse!!! So how is ali a coward he actually risked going to prison and lost his titles and ability to keep fighting if he went he only had to do fighting shows not fight! Ridiculous comment just absurd it was probably a harder decision to not go!! 🥊 ali was no coward who he fought and what he achieved no coward could do that!
@@maccmandagunmanecg97smccau26 I agree 100% and he got a pass because he was a boxing champion at the time.I bet if it was anyone else Steven Yourke would call him a coward.
Ich hope he will be good health and shape god bless u Mohamed Ali the greatest of all time.
I really enjoyed this documentary thanks for the upload
excellent - my pleasure i'm pleased you enjoyed it :).
Muhammad Ali meant everything to a young black man in the Caribbean in the 60s 70s and 80s. I love him more than anyone else
R.I.P. Muhammad Ali The Greatest
I love what he said about true religion being from the heart, no matter which one it is (my rough paraphrase). I'm a christian universalist and I totally agree.
Including ISIS ?They are the same Religion as Ali was.
@@rexrexrex67 ISIS is a perverted form of Islam
@@ForeverZoeful no it’s not. They do exactly as that so called prophet mandated. Isis and their ilk are the true Muslims. Read the Koran and the hadiths.
Ali won gold as a light heavy in Rome Olympics. These documentary makers never really know their subject
God blessed people through Ali and God blessed Ali
Wow the end of the documentary made me cry. Why bad things always happen to good people? He could make the world a better place with his voice. I love and respect him! I really wish I could meet him when he was alive but I hope somewhere in paradise he is happy, healthy and free from this prison called life. I wish I meet him up there one day. Rest in peace angel 👼🏾
the best ever in any era
Fascinating and inspiring, different from other docs on Ali I've seen, thanks :)
He was really a man with the heart of gold and mercy God bless his soul
The true religion is the religion of the heart....That about sums it all up.....Great words from a great man.
He was just like ELVIS! Magnitude beyond words!
+Nicky Depaola Elvis gave him a robe that he wore at one of his fights. I think they liked each other.
Steven Yourke they were very good friends, elvis would hang out at his training centre for abit of peace with Ali
Ali was a much greater person than Elvis. Both were spectacularly gifted, handsome, and the acme of their respective callings, but Ali had a great heart, helped a lot of people, stood up for his religion, refused to be conscripted, and never did drugs or seduced teenage girls. Elvis.just indulged his worst inclinations, and ended up poisoning himself.
Elvis knocked Ali on the ground with a karate as when he met him. Ali got such a kick out of it. He called Elvis the greatest as well
I have two hero's and Muhammed Ali is one of them. The greatest of all time.
Lol who second
No boxer should ever be mentioned in the same sentence as Ali. What he did for boxing, for politics, for humanity, no one has done that before and no one will do it again!
If there's a 10 documentary, this is it. Davis, I hope you meet your mom in heaven. I can't even fathom what you dealt with.
I read "My dinner with Ali" by Davis Miller in The MA Reader....best story in the book....
wow that's the guy....wrote the tao of MA??? seen it now I'll have to buy it
Yes sir ..you shook up the world
imagine if he hadn't lost them three years ooo wee ! and still the greatest
God....he is Great!!!
The greatest of allllllllllllllllllll time.
If Ali wouldn't have been stripped of his title back in his prime time , I don't think there was any chance for foreman and Frazier would even stand as a challenger.
AGEE 100%

It was a foggy Day in San Francisco back in 1964. I was taking a sip of water from the drinking fountain in School, late Afternoon, and a kid yelled out " Cassius Clay" is fighting Sonny Liston Tonight. Let me say this. This Guy was The Fastest Fighter ever seen! " Lightning in a Bottle". He was good looking, had the best personality, called the rounds of his fights, Shook up the world beating Sonny Liston, and the world was truly shocked when he beat Big George Foreman in the " Rumble in the Jungle". He was the " People's Champion of all races. He was for the underdog! He turned boxing into a art, as he broke out with the " Ali Shuffle" in 1966 against Cleveland Williams. I was fortunate to meet Ali three times, and have a picture of us shaking Hands. He out shined all sports and people back in the Day. A American Icon. He truly will be missed. Thanks Muhammad Ali for bringing so much joy into my life. We will always Love you Champ!!
He never knocked anybody out or called rounds after 1971 when he lost to Frazier.in fact he never knocked anybody down after the BAN! He won all of his fights on points.
@@rexrexrex67 Ali in a interview with cosell said he didn't need to call rounds anymore because he was champion and Ali knocked out alot of people after that fight including a tko over joe frazier in the thrilla in manila 1975 you bum
@@ForeverZoeful He didn't have to call rounds because he couldn't knockout jack shit after 1970 that was why!!LOL! Ali always made excuses his whole life,The reason why he said that was because he called the first Joe Frazier fight when he said he will knockout Joe Frazier in the 6th round but in the 11th round Joe Almost knocked him out,Ali was full of shit ,he was scared shitless to go to Vietnam so he became a conscientious objector there is nothing about this man i can find to admire.Ali after Joe Frazier won 90% of his fights by judge's decision which mean it could have gone either way had the judges hated him.
@@ForeverZoeful Ali said on TV that if he lost to Joe Frazier he would crawl on his knees across the ring and bow down to Joe and say that Joe was the greatest ,He lost and did he do as he said he would do?NOOOOOOOOOO HE WAS FULL OF SHIT!!

ALI THE GREATEST 🥊😍🥊
It is an indisputable fact that Ali at his prime was untouchable not even by Tyson. The facts were verified by true experienced experts. Ali in his prime was lightning fast, has a long reach of 71" as opposed to Tyson's 63" and simply was unbeatable. Did you not see how he nonchalantly avoided heavy punches simply by moving away his head. This action is unique to Ali. Nobody ever could pull off the same stunt. Now imagine if Tyson tried to get close Ali would just move away and at the same time jab Tyson's face until he could no longer see. This happened to Liston and many others. Even Foreman who had punching power as great as Tyson was defeated by Ali.The 3 lost years only left people imagining what could have been achieved by Ali at the top of his game. To put it simply, Ali is the greatest ever inside the ring and a legendary human being outside the ring.
george foreman was a world champ in the 90s ... guys from that era were the best boxers ever
Abdul Aziz Abdullah Ali had a reach of 82
