An Audience With Muhammad Ali 1977 (1/5)

[7beers]

Early stages of Parkinson's clearly visible.

[Netertaat]

muhammad can & will NEVER fall in my eyes

[kcirdrab]

Cassius was already in a deteriorating state here, u can see it from the slowed responses & reactions

[The1Heart1]

@kcirdrab No you can't. He could've been tired and jaded from flying around and touring so much.

[kcirdrab]

@The1Heart1 U may have a fair point on that 1

[raptors12349]

@kcirdrab WHATS HIS NAME? SAY HIS NAME? SAY IT

[kcirdrab]

@raptors12349 C-A-S-S-I-U-S M-A-R-C-E-L-L-U-S C-L-A-Y - King of the ring & of a lot more besides!

[raptors12349]

@kcirdrab DONT MAKE ME MAKE YOU SAY HIS NAME DONT BE DISRESPECTFUL TO THE GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[starginsky]

This is awesome!!!!! Such a shame that there has been a bit of a backlash from some against Ali of late with recent Frazier documentaries (i.e. Ali's taunting of Frazier). While he had his faults and was out of order with Frazier, Ali is really a beautiful soul and a sage in my eyes. The way he has dealt with his illness and given to others has redeemed all his faults and people SHOULD bow to this man! Could listen to him for hours

[michaelyouth]

@starginsky You know, in the ''Thrilla in Manilla' documentary, there were a lot of leeches trying to provoke Frazier and put Ali down. They are just leeches wanting money. Watch the documetay ''Facing Ali'', Frazier cries hoping that Ali 's Parkinson can be cured one day. They respect eachother.

[starginsky]

@michaelyouth OK thanks will check it out!

[swedishfootballfan]

He is the greatest.

[Testostrone250]

can ali talk? is he aware of whats going on around him? these days i mean

[shammi13]

@Testostrone250 ali can hear and react in his mind 100% - his motor neuron functions are damaged - meaning he cant react and control his muscles like he used to, so he pretty much cant talk clearly at all. hes fully aware though....... check my channel i got some of the best ali vids on youtube!

[Bolotism]

wid whom was he goin' to fight?

[johnbaptist15]

Muhammad Ali ==== wisdom and courage

[CapitalBhoy78]

ALI = GREATEST SPORTSMAN OF ALL TIME

[mkg00179504]

dammm he was and still he is highly respected in UK

[ph1484]

6:47 - you can tell he's so much more than a boxer. Richard Dunn - former opponent - is marveling at the greatest.

[ExtremeBogom]

He was always so calm. I have never seen him nervous. Ever.

[boxingjos]

@ExtremeBogom

he's too calm here buddy!

[HungryGoth]

haha itv sport channel. if your from the UK u'll realise whow much of a fail this is

[zou05]

the guy looked more like a stateman than a athlete

[pirateking105]

this man is a living legend and his views are 100% fact and dont forget that at that tme the blacks were still treated as dirt especially in the south where ali is from

[capablemachine]

@pirateking105 Well it was 1977 so it was a little better.

[funkyfaz55]

@capablemachine he'd actully become a REAL Muslim and left the Nation, who are not Muslim.

so in 1977 M.Ali adopted Sunni Islam, hence the better Human Thoughs.

[shariotoflove]

@capablemachine yea especially whe he saw that that divide between the races was much less in places like Britain, he saw that that attitude was not necessary anymore. people like Muhammad Ali, MJ, and even Barak Obama have tried and succedded in reducing that gap, even if some of their ways, mainly Ali, did seem paradoxical at the time.

[theduffman6]

@pirateking105 no...Ali is from Louisville, KY, which is definitely not in the South. However, the South WAS the most racist part of the country.

[rezuldazzle]

This is a complete different Ali from the old Ali in terms of his views. He is talking about "uniting" people... and not separation anymore.

[inkjesus]

Brilliant!!!!

[youngmanrumble]

you can here his illness hear already his speech isnt what it was a couple of year earlier

[lsdarcy]

yea i picked up on that too

[biborlee]

His way to think make me think to Tupac. plz come to see my video of MUHAMMAD ALI

[MegaLololala]

thks andrea for your upload too....many great stuff about ali...

[boxingheaven]

thanks for compliments but who is andrea

[MegaLololala]

andreacheoor3 is one of ali's video contributor...also commented on your video 3 mths ago..anyway u're welcome

[reznick8]

thanks for this upload

[jeryd2003]

i keep hearing even from ali that the style of boxers predict how the fight progress and finally end. that theory flys in the face of brainwork, using your brain in how you fight your opponent, finding what works agrresively and using your conunter punches to fit the STYLE of the fighter. Oh I know I'm Great!

[FendRhodes]

wow nice find, i'm really looking forward to seeing the rest.

[andreacheoor3]

big upload!!!
