I suggest people to watch Muhamad Ali made in Miami; Ali was a big wrestling fan, and his favorite wrestler was Gorgeous George, and that is where Ali got "Im the Greatest".
Blassie, "where the pencil necks end that's where I begin" classic Freddie. When Ali fought (?) Inoki, Inoki really messed up Ali's legs. Inoki focused on kicking Ali's legs throughout the match. According to Ali's trainer, Angelo Dundee claimed that because of the injuries Ali suffered that his movement was never the same.
You don't realize how big these wrestlers are until you can compare them. Look how wide Blassie is. He dwarfs Ali. By the way. My Father and Younger Brother were crazy about wrestling back then. I was a boxing fan. We used to argue whether wrestling was real or not. Damn I miss those Days.
My apologies to all, my comments were in poor taste . On top of that I did a dis-service to one of the Greatest athletes of all times. Must have been a bad day for me. I was wrong.
I love how Ali turns his head and just can't stop laughing..that's frickin' hilarious and that's what Classy Freddie Blassie was...hilarious...lol!!!!
Muhammad Ali..... You peckerwoods are mad because he beat all your great white hopes. I guess you would have felt better if his dad had gotten him in the Natl guard and he had gone awol. ROFLMBAO
@bad1y2k allow me to enlighten you. Muhammed Ali was actually part Irish, so he is part peckerwood, to use your term. His great grandfather was an Irishman named Abe Grady that moved to kentucky in the 1860s.
google Muhammad Ali visits Ireland and educate yourself.
@bad1y2k I gave NAYellowjackets the thumbs down as I do not ascribe to racial slurs but I'm afraid that You actually opened the racilal door here. Everyone on the film clip here are excellent professional Americans in their chosen crafts and I have a true respect for them all regardless of race. Ali certainly whipped many white fighters but he also whipped many good black fighters too. I'm sorry that the race issue had to even be brought into this.

Ali and Blassie should have had their own tv show....what a fabulous duo!!
Add Robert Mitchum to the equation and you've got a three-way tie for the title of Alpha Male of the 20th Century!!

I like Johnny, but McLean Stevenson was probably a better choice for this interview, because Johnny would have tried to be the biggest star.
McLean let Classy Freddie do what he did best, talk.
