there is nothing fake about her, she is so straight forward, very confident just like her great dad tells it like it is you have to respect her one of a kind
Love this interview and love him saying he's a black man and in love with this beautiful black woman. I don't blame this brotha, I'm PR, and I'm in love with her too. Mo-power to yuh brotha!
Gosh Layla Ali is the most beautiful female boxer that ever has stepped into the ring,not only is she has a natural beauty she is also very intelligent and poised I just love her
now this is a real black women period strong, smart, educated, & beautiful and she said it take two to make a baby not just a woman but a man to love laila god bless you
Amazing to see how society's messed up response to teamwork in the home was going on back then. No one clapped/cheered when she said "I don't make any decision independently when it comes to something that takes a man and a woman to do." THAT'S wife material...a lost art and mindset. Kudos Laila. (21:16)
we love you leila you are a daughter of a man we love him we respect him he will be in our soul iman , lgende haji king mohamed ali ,,, masha allah,, masha allah,,,
Laila remarried. She told Steven that her then boyfriend now current husband, Curtis Conway does not like women's boxing. That could have been the main reason for them not getting into the ring.
Damn, he's annoying as hell. Okay, she's a woman, she's beautiful and she's down to fight and can handle herself. Get over it! The fact that he kept commenting on her looks like she should just preserve that was pestering.
Laila has earned her right to be who she is! No because of her dad. Like her dad whom she looks like! Like she said. Beauty is good but her profession is boxing and she is undefeated. Now this is what I see that was missed in the comments. She has the mental skills of her dad as well and direct with each word. Thank you for this share. I followed the Greatest through his whole career and you can see him in her and that to me is wonderful! I wish her the best! 😊
Undefeated is not a flex when she did not fight all the greatest boxers of her time, there were others with more titles, and others also undefeated. Laila was great but never the greatest, even in her own era, she's top 5 all time not number 1 on any boxing scale lets be honest. Also, her father lost 5 times, including a loss to Fraser in his prime, but still considered the greatest because he actually fought everyone. Great in her own right, earned her respect, but no comparison to her father at ALL. Even when talking about promotion, she never made women's boxing popular people only went to see her, and once she retired the sport died, until Clarissa. Many great fighters of her era are now forgotten, once again her fathers name is the reason we're still talking about her.
I know right? I heard it was Ann Wolfs manager that was tryng to get hella money for the fight, and thats not what they pay in boxing so it just never happen.
I’m not sure how much but I do know it was a ridiculous amount. Layla manager wanted a lower price and Ann manager wanted something significant in terms of money and Layla said the price ass manager was asking they don’t pay women boxers that amount. So the fight never happened unfortunately
Boxer Brawler 57 , I dont believe that at all . My brother before he pass help trained Ann , his name is Richard Ross , from Detroit they called him sarge. Sarge , never said anything to that effect . He did say that Ms. Ali , was dodging Ann Ms. Ali ,would have said Ann was avoiding her in this interview . Believe me she didn't want no part of Ann. The fact is Ms. Ali , paid Ann , not to fight her .
Lol her name is wolfe and she didn't pull out the fight was nvr made there was never a contract signed. There was talk of them fighting much like other top female contenders but at the time but nothing materialized thats all!
she is so right people know who to bully when you are confident it shows some will try and will find out real fast who this person is a straight-up fighter that takes no mess believe me they know right away most of them step back cause most bully or cowards.
Our dear dear sister Laila I think you are one of the truthful people I have ever hear you speak and The Creator of Creation bless you dearly Amen and really like your sincerity and wisdom bless you
I agree. He seems desperate and it is annoying. Okay...she's beautiful...we get it. The world is full of beautiful people...but outside beauty is superficial and should not be "worshiped" Nothing wrong with a compliment, but he made a damn fool of himself.
+MARLO STANFIELD no Ann didn't,Ali backed off,and continued to run...Ann didn't get a re match,with the one that also fought Ali.it means nothing...Ali is a paper champion
Apparently Laila doesn't understand that Ali was not the same Ali after he was banned for over 3½ years.. he didn't have the same reflexes, but he still fought the same way and pulled back. So Ali after the ban, like the one that fought Frazier.. might have some problems with certain fighters... but prime Ali would demolish anybody in the history of boxing.
...and still no fight. Then or now, Ann Wolfe would murderfyviscerate Laila Ali; and Ali's camp knew that. That's why there was never a fight. They didn't want to mess up her "legend" by fighting someone (Wolfe) who would actually defeat Ali. I've watched all the fights of both of these ladies. Wolfe's conditioning, strength, and natural athletic instinct is farrrrrrrrr superior to Ali's. Ali's body in the ring reacts very differently than Wolfe's. It's as if Wolfe's body, whether training or natural or both, knows about counter balance and reaction. She's ready at all times for any movement of her body. Ali, on the other hand, is sloppy and just a little wild with her movements; especially when the fight gets in close. Dare I say it and sound misogynistic ... Wolfe fights like a girl who can FIGHT. Ali fights like a girl who's been trained but still has too much Barbie in her bowl. Trust me when I say that this is not about heterosexual vs homosexual. It's about who does it better in the ring. Wild flingy punches and stances vs concise missile-like precision without unnecessary movements. Can you tell that I'm an Ann Wolfe fan ?
Troy Stewart The truth i saw Ann Laila is stronger and more tougher and bigger and taller and have better boxing skills.Laila was trying to fight Ann but Ann was making up excuses and stalling Laila can't wait for this stalling lady forever.Ann is the one that was ducking.
Edward you couldnt be more wrong. the news, management and every fighter that knows anything about these two know that it was laila who ducked ann and the excuses are limitless. even the media who are on laila's side were saying she turned down the fight just to shun ann. after all that talk she never accepted it. ann wolfe would never duck anyone anywhere. she would have fought her in a cardboard box.
we fight One thing we both know is Laila and Ann are never going to fight in the ring Laila is almost 38 years old and retired and i don't know how old Ann is but i heard her daughter was a boxer so she may be retired too. So it do not matter who is ducking who. They will never fight so people just need to forget about it.
I do believe if the fight between Laila vs Ann wolfe would have taken place it would have been the greatest female boxing fight in History it would have been a 50/50 toss up now if Laila would have taken the fight against Lucia Rijker who as you can see never mentions she would have lost to Rijker who is hands down the GWOAT followed by Laila Ali then Ann Wolfe then Christy Martin then IMO Cecelia Braekhas , Amanda Serrano, Sumya Anani, Holly Holm
That was alot of fun. I would say, though, regarding Ali's so-called mistakes in the ring, things he did 'wrong', that he forgot more about boxing than his daughter ever knew. Dundee, who trained many world champions from the 50s on so he knew what he was talking about, said every punch Ali threw was delivered perfectly. Ali studied the standard, correct way of moving, punching, etc in the ring, and adapted it over many years to himself. This is from age 12. His natural speed enabled him to do things you'd say we're crazy. Look at him in the sixties moving backwards avoiding devastating punches by fractions of an inch. Against class opposition, too. So to see Laila here talking about how to overcome that movement with a feint is frankly just ridiculous. The evolution she speaks of is Bullshit. There are far fewer fighters now, and what they are is far less than what they were. In the fifties gyms were packed. The country still had dirt - poor families that coundn't afford TVs, refrigerators, etc. Boxing, like it was for the previous 3 generations, was seen as a way out. Therefore a young fighter had to come through more people with a wide variety of styles before he could gain prominence. Iow, he had to be a better fighter than today.
She actually looks kinda slow in the ring and it sure dont look like she been fighting any great fighters to say she's that fantastic. Just being honest.

Laila is awesome so is her dad, two great fighters
I love the way he did his interview had the undefeated boxer blushing 😎lol

Laila remarried. She told Steven that her then boyfriend now current husband, Curtis Conway does not like women's boxing. That could have been the main reason for them not getting into the ring.
Very observative
True
I love Laila Ali!
I am a big fan of Laila Ali. much luch, you make boxing look so good.
She is a decent lady boxer. I like his father and her too.
Laila ali is beautiful. I love her
Damn, he's annoying as hell. Okay, she's a woman, she's beautiful and she's down to fight and can handle herself. Get over it! The fact that he kept commenting on her looks like she should just preserve that was pestering.
Quit hating on natural heterosexual behavior!!
sounds like her daddy.
the guy is very great Laila Ali big up and keep the game up.
I though she was already retired.She hasn't had a fight in six years.
I would love to see Ann and Ali

U r a great fighter Laila I'm a big fan of yours...
Fight never happened but I do believe Ali could take her.
Laila Ali ,you did the rite thing not to get in the ring with Ann Wolfe,she would have hurtyou bad very bad
But Anne Wolfe got ko'd by somebody she beat down🤔
Hmmmm maybe
Maybe not
@@nuttybloc4321right
Laila Ali IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL
I know right? I heard it was Ann Wolfs manager that was tryng to get hella money for the fight, and thats not what they pay in boxing so it just never happen.
How much money did they asked for? Just asking because I saw Laila do an interview, asking for 1 million dollars
I’m not sure how much but I do know it was a ridiculous amount. Layla manager wanted a lower price and Ann manager wanted something significant in terms of money and Layla said the price ass manager was asking they don’t pay women boxers that amount. So the fight never happened unfortunately
Ann typo
this woman is something else.
I Still want to see Ann Wolfe vs Laila Ali ! Both of you'all Come Out of Retirement,Train,& be Ready to Fight in May 2016 !!!
Agreed!
Definitely
Ms Ali is something special 😍😍
Ann Wolfe, would have hospitalized you Ms.Ali seriously. The best decision you ever made.
Boxer Brawler 57 , I dont believe that at all . My brother before he pass help trained Ann , his name is Richard Ross , from Detroit they called him sarge. Sarge , never said anything to that effect . He did say that Ms. Ali , was dodging Ann
Ms. Ali ,would have said Ann was avoiding her in this interview . Believe me she didn't want no part of Ann. The fact is Ms. Ali , paid Ann , not to fight her .
@@frankross7722i don’t believe it
Lol her name is wolfe and she didn't pull out the fight was nvr made there was never a contract signed. There was talk of them fighting much like other top female contenders but at the time but nothing materialized thats all!
thank you..very true
Wolfe wasn't happy with the amount of money she would be receiving so although she wasn't scared, she technically did not sign the fight
He gonna sit his ... down and point the sole of his nasty shoe at her...whata nut."
Watching the interview further on i did realize but it was too late i already posted my comment, but thanks all the same for your input
she is so right people know who to bully when you are confident it shows some will try and will find out real fast who this person is a straight-up fighter that takes no mess believe me they know right away most of them step back cause most bully or cowards.
Damn did Steven A ever rock a different hairstyle in his life time
Listen when it's about to go you're afraid to mess with it because you may hasten it's departure. Lol
Stephen is a thirsty thirst thirst
can't blame em'
I don't blame him
Beauty Secret He's sitting too close
@@bradnobl No he isn’t
Wish she was my wife.
laila is so pretty
why she didn't fight Anne Wolf??? Would've loved to have seen that fight. It would have been interesting.
180 lbs vs 154 lbs
Ahhhh no
She aught to punch his lights out.
If Laila Ali ran that fight back with Jackie Frazier a second time, and fought Ann Wolfe and won, then I could give her some props.
Laila Ali never avoided Ann wolf she said she was going to do five years and retire I don't know why people keep saying that
Classic interview
See the flirt dat goes on lol 🦒🤑🦴😎 dope
Great job Ms.Ali
Our dear dear sister Laila I think you are one of the truthful people I have ever hear you speak and The Creator of Creation bless you dearly Amen and really like your sincerity and wisdom bless you
You know the type that acts stupid around beautiful women, annoying.....
I agree. He seems desperate and it is annoying. Okay...she's beautiful...we get it. The world is full of beautiful people...but outside beauty is superficial and should not be "worshiped" Nothing wrong with a compliment, but he made a damn fool of himself.
everythingisaprocess simping 101 lol
I cant stand this interviewer. Makes me cringe. Wtf is with that guy. Lol
I know what you mean - Stephen Smith on ESPN a real clown.
Stephen A. Smith is a legend, what are you talking about?????
your bitch ass just mad your not doing what he's doing.
Nothing. Laila is fine. I don't blame Steve for falling all over himself.
He is a Hotdog on a stick. Calm down Scooby Doo.
laila ali saids they can't beat me,at course no one can beat her on retirement !
The me 2 movement today 2020 Stephen wouldn't be this damn thirsty/flirty with a female doing a interview
Oh, mine, what a beautiful girl.
Lovely lovely lovely..Smile
Two years later...and still no fight between them, lol.
To me Laila Ali favors Jane Kennedy
5 years now
What year was this?
She is saying here she was gunna fight ann wolfe within a year? Im not sure the year but ita def a long time ago and They nvr fought!
Ann Wolf pulled out of the fight
+MARLO STANFIELD no Ann didn't,Ali backed off,and continued to run...Ann didn't get a re match,with the one that also fought Ali.it means nothing...Ali is a paper champion
People talk like Anne Wolfe didn't get ko'd by a much lesser fighter.....that Laila beat down!
@@nuttybloc4321 first off...it was at the beginning of Wolfe's career and it was a TKO. Ali got the TKO's and not a KO.
Yes Laila was beating mfs up!!!! What you're saying is senseless...she still got knocked out and Laila beat her up...easy!! It wasn't even close
Laila you’re so beautiful and truthful bless you dearly Amen
Actually Stephen A Smith is very intelligent. Very high IQ. He did this to make Ali feel comfortable. I take it you don't watch sports Center on ESPN.
The perfect woman for me
Ouch!
Apparently Laila doesn't understand that Ali was not the same Ali after he was banned for over 3½ years.. he didn't have the same reflexes, but he still fought the same way and pulled back. So Ali after the ban, like the one that fought Frazier.. might have some problems with certain fighters... but prime Ali would demolish anybody in the history of boxing.
li said himself he doesnt know who would win between Marciano and himself.
jethrodassam Who cares what he said.. he said a lot of things.. what does that have to do with who wins the fight? Prime Ali embarrasses Marciano.
Ana Costellano Maybe, but I doubt it.
Yeah.. But Had same intelligence. He fought with his mind in place
jethrodassam he was just showing respect to legend that came before him but we all know that Ali would win easily
simply gorgeous
Big fan lia all love from portmore 🇯🇲 I have A crush on a Her too She is the greatest female boxer
This voice sounds like Serena's.

Shut up bitch Ann ducked Laila Ann was the bitch that was ducking.
LOL How do you really feel ? :)

The truth i saw Ann Laila is stronger and more tougher and bigger and taller and have better boxing skills.Laila was trying to fight Ann but Ann was making up excuses and stalling Laila can't wait for this stalling lady forever.Ann is the one that was ducking.

Tell the truth Stephen! Good God she fine!
She is very pretty, love u.
Ali fucked up Valerie mahfood twice and mahfood KO'ed Ann Wolfe. I know the result of Ali vs Wolfe.
+coolro styles makes fights. Ann Wolfe would of given her some serious problems.

If Laila Ali is undefeated and Ann wasn't why was she so scared to fight her?
Is it true Ali was ducking Wolfe?
yes it's very true..Ali has a big mouth..
Kareem Johnny yea they never fought
Kareem Johnny Yes!! Never called
Anne Wolfe out!! Ali just B.S.ed her way out of the claim to want to fight!!!
@@sticktrik it's true. She said Curtis Conway didnt like her boxing so he knocked her up in 07. That was Ali's way out of the fight.
Love you laila ali
Well that's wrong. Ann Wolfe said publicly that she will fight for free. Actually she said she will fight for a cheeseburger.
Yeah Right! Promotion is promotion; But, nobody fights for free, especially the one most hungry.
Laila Ali you are the greatest
I really love this lady
Damn she got a deep ass voice!!!
Dude ruined the whole interview....Damn!!
That was alot of fun. I would say, though, regarding Ali's so-called mistakes in the ring, things he did 'wrong', that he forgot more about boxing than his daughter ever knew. Dundee, who trained many world champions from the 50s on so he knew what he was talking about, said every punch Ali threw was delivered perfectly. Ali studied the standard, correct way of moving, punching, etc in the ring, and adapted it over many years to himself. This is from age 12. His natural speed enabled him to do things you'd say we're crazy. Look at him in the sixties moving backwards avoiding devastating punches by fractions of an inch. Against class opposition, too. So to see Laila here talking about how to overcome that movement with a feint is frankly just ridiculous. The evolution she speaks of is Bullshit. There are far fewer fighters now, and what they are is far less than what they were. In the fifties gyms were packed. The country still had dirt - poor families that coundn't afford TVs, refrigerators, etc. Boxing, like it was for the previous 3 generations, was seen as a way out. Therefore a young fighter had to come through more people with a wide variety of styles before he could gain prominence. Iow, he had to be a better fighter than today.
Anybody that really knows boxing, knows boxers back in the day were better.
What Are to talking about.
This is Called, evolution
Num heads
da inerviewer mentions her looks 10 times what has he ever done besides overreact to everything?
She actually looks kinda slow in the ring and it sure dont look like she been fighting any great fighters to say she's that fantastic. Just being honest.
very true,I AGREE
@Tupac Nation Wolfe got beaten twice by the same woman she has beaten twice. Didn't Wolfe wanted more money? Ali would have beaten her.
It depends on the fighter because she was not slow with in all
Great people here
Laila Ali retired so she wouldnt have to face Ann Wolfe...a real legit fighter
She beat the girl who beat her... Twice
I AGREE with you completely
+MARLO STANFIELD so that doesn't mean anything.she didn't fight Ali...and Ali fights nobodies Ann fights real fights...
@George George My fav Wolfe ko was against a GIANT.....
BTW
Anchor is so louder
Slow down Stephen, you’re a literally nearly tripping over your words bro. Dude dying of thirst on this 🤦♂️
Wym he just flirting 😂
Laila Ali is too beautiful to be boxing 😊
Whew Chile...If Stephen A did this type of interview in 2020 he would definitely be canceled!
