Foreman humbled himself. He wasn't always like that. Credit to him. Nice guy. And his brain is still functioning. Powerful man. Frazier got brain damaged from the boxing, but Ali's was a disease unrelated to that.
@@DanielFrancis-yh7co True dat, Ali, Smkn Joe and Marvellous Marvin Hagler would be rolling in their graves if they can see the circus boxing has become. From the greatest prize in sport to a freakin joke. FkN Shame.
Mike Felix Fraizer still had serious ill will to Ali even by then. He desperately needed the money for 'champions' forever.' Not long after that documentary, Fraizer said on an olympic broadcast he said he wished someone push him into the Olympic fire. Thus costing him his paycheck. To see the unbearable tedious nonsense of modern heavyweight boxing with no one fighting who they should, and delaying fights for years, makes me sick
Ali is quiet because at this time in the late '80s the brain damage was really taking effect. joe and ali both have bad speech quality in this video. words are very slurred.. they never talked like this before. Ali was only 46 in this video.
I was in the audience at the Shepherds Bush Empire for this show. It was a surprise from my then partner. I had no idea who we were going to see there. Joanne Lumley was standing in for for Terry Wogan. Tears flowed out of my eyes when the Champs came on stage. Ali was always my hero, beginning back before his ban and to see him so close up was amazing. My only sadness was Ali was very poorly and couldn't say a lot. After the show we were walking back to our car and they all appeared at the rear of the theatre. They all stopped and spoke to us for about 10 minutes, Ali even kissed my partner on the cheek. George Foreman, Joe Frazier and Harry Carpenter were absolutely wonderful. When Ali shook my hand, it was one of the proudest moments of my life. He had this amazing smile which could melt ice. Ali signed a receipt we had from a supermarket, as we could find any other bits of paper.....lol!!! They laughed and joked with us until their limousine arrived. Frazier, Ali and Foreman.......friends for life!!! One of the greatest nights of my life!!
The fact that even though Foreman defeated Frazier in two fights he still spoke of Frazier as one of the greatest and paid him the highest compliments shows not only amazing class but such a great example of respect.
Thank you for posting this. I watched them all fight. Just their championship persona brings people out to watch their fights. As each one mentioned, it was not just the winning but the spectacle that brought people's interest into boxing 🥊🥊🥊.
Yes. Foreman always said that he was most scared going into his fight with Frazier. That during the stare down, usually he wanted to make the other fighter look down but not Joe because if Joe looked down, George said that Joe would have seen George’s knees knocking together. Frazier was an incredibly likable fighter.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 huh, please!!! George Foreman himself spoke of how hard Frazier punches were. He said, he was so afraid of Frazier that instead of staring him in the eye and intimidate him before a match as he did so many others, he would stare at Frazier's feet instead, so that Frazier couldn't see the fear in his eyes.
Boxing don't get no better than these 3 Champions.. They are men of honor..Rip..Joe Frazier...RIP.... Muhammad Ali.... Stay.strong George you are still here in 11/4/2023
RaniaIsAwesome Muhammad Ali had Parkinson’s Disease and was in the early of the disease that’s why looks out of it. He was losing coordination, ability to speak etc. he was diagnosed in 1984.
Big respect to foreman.. He's on par with all greatest heavyweight.. And he still mention there is no goerge formen type.. Only ali type and frazier type.. Thats really humble and a true legend act..
But Ali brought them down to bow and go down to the floor how does it feel when he punched Ali and felt like he is beating a rock 🤘🏻 he admitted that he wants to get out of the ring most of the fighters get beaten so bad and start to loose control of his skills when mouhamed Ali gains more confidence and keeps his conversation rising to the highest level and finally found his way to bring Forman down to the bottom of the ring where he couldn’t resist 10 counts Mouhamed Ali was the greatest and he still the greatest of all time in boxing 🥊 speeches 💭conversation funny pretty all of you can think of strong 💪🏻 personality the man just gained every thing that man supposed to be
@Trump 2016 Tyson loved and gave his life to the sport. I'm an Ali fan but I acknowledge the hard work and passion Tyson put into his work. After all, he's one of the most knowledgable boxing historians on earth.
@Trump 2016 Indeed. His passion died with Cus sadly, as he turned from an incredibly close up volume puncher to a mediocre mid-ranged boxer. A shame really.
We got robbed of Ali’s best years. Damn Parkinson man. Just imagine how amazing it would’ve been listening to Ali on HBO. He would’ve been everywhere like Foreman. Definitely my favorite 3 champions.
"We got robbed of Ali’s best years" Robbed of his best years ? Are you serious ? You do not his whole story. Since 1966, he could not fight during four years, because his opposition to the Vietnam War ; [ "Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go ten thousand miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?" ] (Wikipédia) THEY robbed him of his worldchampion title and "His boxing license was also suspended by the state of New York" (Wikipédia). While many others fought with their fists, Ali did with his soul and the whole body, flesh and bones. Ali was not a simple boxer, but one of the most clever ans wise human genius of our time.
George became a completely different person since his first retirement. All his anger and hate left him. I don't think I've ever seen anyone more humble and at peace with himself than Foreman.
He was also a pretty likeable focussed kid after he won the Olympics. Something just went wrong between the late 60's and the early 70's; like he was trying to camouflage his fears by acting like a tough guy or something.
Just watching against this video in 2020 after Kobe Briant s departure😢 ! to remember all Black GOATathelte !! ALI still despite disease the one who makes jokes and captivates the most the public !!! Great video !!
ha ha ha if Ali was in his prime no one can talk he will dominate the show. I recall “he’s too ugly to be the world champion, the world champion should be pretty like me!”
Ali was 31-0 when Frazier knocked him down to win the title, Frazier 29-0 then faced Foreman who knocked him down to win the title @ 40-0. Foreman faced Ali who knocked George down to regain his title and usher in the Golden Age of boxing!!!
True but the way who ever was putting it it was like he was the challenger and Ali was the Champ...I know once you put the title on the line it's up for grabs but what I was sayin' that it was that same old trickery....
@@bungholeshagnasty That's because Ali was the favorite but when he got dropped the odd makers couldn't believe it even though they had a lot of time left but Frazier came in as Champ and left as Champ....
Everyone talks about his power, but everyone overlooks his technique. One of his best assets was the fact he used forgotten techniques which made most boxers confused such as leverage blocks, trapping, frames etc.
Hes being extremely humble tbh 76-5 (68 ko) had one of the hardest punch ever and become champion at 45 which makes him the oldest champion. He beat Michael Moorer at 45 and give really competitive fight to prime Evander Holyfield only lost by couple of points at age of 42. Not want to take anything away from Ali but even the fight he lost to Ali wasn't that fair to him he fought in extremely hostile environment imagine everyone constantly yelling eat him Ali and even some guy trying to loosen ring ropes hes still being humble and accepting the loss. I know this program was before the examples i wrote but i wrote those to back up that hes one of the best , he was 46-2 and destroyed great fighters like Ken Norton and Joe Fraizer who both beaten Ali before this program so hes still being really humble. Im not saying he was greatest but he definetely should be considered at least.
It's gone done one. It's mugged the world and run away with the honour. We won't see the likes of these men again in boxing. The Saudis have thrown heavyweight boxing a lifeline. But that won't last forever ...we thought the casino era and the garden would last forever but it didn't
@@GeorgioArmoni a whole lot of role models out there other than rappers my g. btw i bet alot of them would rather b anything than these 3. fighting and getting their brains knocked out to make money.
This interview gives me chill. In a world full of prepotent people, you find the greatest in their sports acting so humble and gentle to each other. May God bless these men, they are idols for generations!! Great men!
@@bustrain8632 Parkinson's disease. It deteriorates your motor functions slowly, as well as your ability to speak and breathe. Your mind is still there, but your body starts fighting against you
@@Jaecht88Yes he did. As George said: his last opponent "whooped the Devil" outta him. George was a mean, nasty, surly, grumpy man before God got ahold of him. The second version of George was one of (and still is) the nicest, funniest, most charismatic guys on the planet.
Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In his first run, he was a fit, quiet, brooding, scowling, no nonsense character. 10 years later, he's a chubby, bubbly, charming, business savvy, respectful minister.
Your right! George Foremen when he was still fighting was quiet and mean. Now he’s friendly and soft like a big ol’ Teddy Bear. Ali was always talking so much that he earned the nickname the Mouth from the South! He used to talk loudly nonstop. Then he gets Parkinson’s and talked in a whisper. How ironic is that? Time definitely turns things around!
Actually, It's a poem. She asked if Ali still did poem about things. And he did about her show. I love your show I admire your style But you pay us so cheap Don't call for a while :)
The smile on Ali's face after Foreman mentioned what Ali had said to him during their fight (5:32) is one of the best things I've seen in a long while.
George completely reinvented himself during his "second" boxing career. He went from a scowling monster to a big, lovable guy who won the world championship a second time and sold a gazillion George Foreman Grills.
If you look at his interviews before he started working with Liston he was like he is now. He was very humble in his youth. When he met Liston he tried to emulate his hero like many young men do.
Frazier: .... and he put his film together Ali: and he didn’t pay us. (Everybody laughs) Imagine he talked the whole time.. 😔 May his soul rest in peace.. Ameen
@official Mohammed Fathallah Al-Gaddafi jannah is trash dump, I will not going to Jannah, only bombers and terrorists, and also angry people in Jannah, I prefer heaven. 😂
These three legends have all fought each other in the ring, yet they can all sit together and be true gentlemen to each other. That is true sportsmanship.
@@angelic_disappointment7889Big George and Ali grew really close over the years, and I believe Ali and Frazier kept a friendship until the end. I'm not sure if Foreman and Frazier were close or not but I wouldn't be surprised.
So glad that Ali and Fraizer made up before they died. The graciousness of Ali to say The Greatest was al publicity and he didn't believe it as respect his colleagues was great!!!
I was a kid in Northern England and my Father said "Come and watch this, it's how real fights happen" and I watched the Rumble in the Jungle. It's still the greatest bout I've ever seen.
This interview is a classic, teaching the youngsters respect, admire and honour even your defeat. What were these men...salute !! Seeing Ali in this condition was really sad but Foreman's words were gold.
This line of reasoning always confuses me. Foreman and Ali cussed each other out and fought out of the ring on live tv in their day. Later, with age, sure they’re friends. They’ve shared something no one else can relate to. But looking at this generation of fighters and saying they don’t have the same class as the old guard is simply wrong. They just haven’t had time to mature yet. No true gentleman will ever be a champion in a fight sport because you have to be out for blood to win. After retirement you can mellow out. Look at these guys. Look at Tyson. That’s how it always has been and it’s how it always will be.
@@1995blooper Shenanigans is promoted nowadays. Being dumb is popular. The way these guys went at eachother was well thought out and clever. Now there's no honour, no class, no manners or anything. It's just degenerates going at eachother with real hate. Khabib was classless after his fight against McGregor. If you make McGregor look good then you're an absolute rat. This video should go viral and show kids how to be a gentleman
It doesn't make me sad seeing Ali like this. He was still the funniest guy in the room with Parkinsons bearing down on him. That makes him a true hero.
I think Ali, at this point, was suffering from Parkinson’s. I love how he kept his sense of humor and humility, and we can see those little intriguing glimpses. He gently retired into the background at one point, when the conversation drowned him out as he was trying to express himself; I really felt for him then. But he kept his cool and didn’t try to elbow his way back in. A beautiful human being.
@@bargainbassistit's pretty sad cuz you can tell he wants to be the life of the party but his body just won't allow it. He still was funny as hell in this video tho.
ALI was the Greatest of all time, Frazier the deadliest left hook in the world, George Foreman the strongest and nicest human boxer ever Absolute Legends what a TRIO ( I shed a tear watching this) 😥
@BlaZe Excalibur ...don't be so mad, man. Mike was a beast in his prime - and he only had love and respect for Ali, George & Joe, just like they did towards him. People tend to talk smack, to gather together in groups and attacking each other - just like fighters do during promo. Nonetheless, we're all just people. None of us is better than the other. We're just different. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. I refuse to talk about great fighters who inspired soo many people like some would be more worthy than others. We're talking about the GOATs here. Let others have their opinions. No need to be judgemental.
I love how humble these guys are , Ali saying he never thought he was the greatest, all guys praising each other giving their credit to God , stand up fellows
George was such a gentleman. He was the guy to have on this show. He didn't blow his own horn. He told how great Joe and Mohammed was. He was great. What a guy. George your a good guy.
Considering Foreman beat Frazier twice comprehensively, and Ali had to use all his stamina and intelligence to beat Foreman in the only fight the two had, who knows what might have happened in a second fight. Foreman could as well have knocked out Ali....
Seeing Mohammed ill makes me tear up. Him saying calling himself the greatest being publicity stunt is the most humble a person could be. The respect they all had for one another is remarkable
One of the most handsome of men. He did a TV movie about reconstruction in South Carolina that told me that if he had curtailed his boxing career when he was about thirty he could have had a career in acting.
@@grosskopf2779 He thought Joe understood it was for hype, but Muhammad was so embraced by the people some of those digs cut deep. Muhammad apologized often and in public and said the same, always giving credit to Joe as his toughest opponent- but Joe was tremendously underrated. He didn't really get his flowers while he was here, and that's really a shame. The mental fortitude of Frazier would have only been matched by Ali. They were willing to die for this. Nothing but respect to the best that ever put the gloves on. And no, NEVER feel sorry for Ali. That was a man's man. He was a giant that walked among us, that lived life on his terms. I doubt he would've changed a thing.
+Ryan Chinn Foreman said he wanted to be like Sonny Liston(his sparring partner) when younger. Mean and surly. When he did his come back he couldn't market himself like that anymore so he went with the affable god fearing preacher persona, and it made him more money.
Fighters were afraid of Foreman back in the day. He had enormous size and his punches were powerful. He knocked the hell out of his opponents. The only other fighter that others were afraid of like that was Tyson. Back when he was mean and undefeated, he intimidated fighters.
Well Ali outthought George in the rumble in the jungle but defeated Frazier twice convincingly...No doubt Frazier was a great boxer but I gotta say George is underrating himself saying Frazier was greater than him...
+aedivian yes humble..did you hear him when he sayed: i never belive im the gratest but i used to say it befeore and after fights also lets face it ..if he was not humble fraizer and foerman wouldnt say all that nice talk about him
@@TheMiketyson9 🙄🙄 Just take a look at that man's shape and built and the way he hit. He was an absolute tank. Might not be as skillful as ali. But he hits you Hard. I mean really really hard.
These three men have so much respect and love for each other. I think because they fought each other they got to know each other that much better. Warriors like these demonstrate true greatness, not by staying mad at each other but by accepting the outcome of their bouts with grace! 😢
instead they had suits and jackets and maybe fancy watches which are another symbol of class and wealth. If they were renaissance times they might have wigs and gowns. if this was rome they would wear togas. if this was pre-history they might be wearing lion skins. today it's tattoos and chains. tomorrow it might be cybernetic implants! it's all the same
Recognizing & admitting your loss with a smile is truly telling. Then for Ali to not know he’s the greatest still is also telling. Great interview with 3 of the best fighters in the world. How blessed this lady truly was that day.
It is so depressing seeing such a masterpiece of a human being reduced to such rubble....... Ali was a legend inside and outside of the ring, and lived a history worthy life.
I LOVED hearing Ali say that his proclamations of his own greatness were all publicity and that he himself never believed it, and with such genuine, soft-spoken humility (not just because of his illness)
@@soleknight3212 I think you're probably right. Most athletes have to think that to a certain degree to compete at that level, IMO. "I AM The Greatest!" was his Ali's slogan for years. And subsequently, he did get deeper into his Muslim faith.
@@soleknight3212 yes, he was sincere about it. but as we get older and hit the wall (age) we become more humble about our shenanigans when we were young.

I was a young man about their ages when i watched these all time greats fight each other. It was a period of my life i will never forget, and they all added to my life and billions of other's. It was a glorious and exciting time. I loved this interview and seeing the love and respect they have for one another is a satisfying end to their stories. They couldn't have done it without each other.
Shijit Nair Stop man these 3 were just like any boxer of this generation when they were young. Mike tyson, holyfield and lennox lewis are now friends, but who would have thought thzt when mike ate his ear ? So it wkll be the same with Joshua wilder tyson, even at the moment they respect each other but its the competiton, and its boxing not football, its not a game its a war so even with all the respect in the world you cant be too friendly if not you will lose, boxing is 90% mental and if you show sign of weakness its over
Three old legends sitting and recalling back to their past good ol' days when they where world champions, then George goes out and becomes world champion once again 5 years after this interview was recorded! what an absolute beast!
Isn't it good to see the real gentlemen of the sport of boxing giving respect to each other. Smokin Joe was my favourite boxer ever, after Ali, his non-stop workmanship in the ring was always good to watch.
Everytime i see Foreman. He is always giving credit and praise to the fighters he fought. Seems like a real class act..
Class Act,Gentleman, a Man Of Peace,and one of the Greatest Boxers Of All Time.
Everytime I see Foreman he's trying to sell me a grill
Man, gasasmk, don't make me laugh like that, I live alone and my neighbours worry about why I just laughed out loud.
Neil Tipton agreed
Foreman humbled himself. He wasn't always like that. Credit to him. Nice guy. And his brain is still functioning. Powerful man. Frazier got brain damaged from the boxing, but Ali's was a disease unrelated to that.
Seeing Frazier and Foreman defend Ali and try to speak for him is the best ending boxing fans could ever ask for.

As you can see, Ali can’t talk much like the others with his health condition. But Joe & George defending him is really kind thing to see.
These guys are God loving men. Kind hearts. Class acts.
Beautiful, isn't it?
Yah because he earn that respect from them and the world
And George & Frazier are really respectful Gentlemen
Absolute class from the both of them to protect Ali they way they did. Legends all three of them!
they all talk slow and slurred, CTE is tough
Frazier never had a chance to speak this much when Ali was healthy
Mugiira Kimathi hahahahaha true!
ha ha ha if Ali was in his prime no one can talk he will dominate the show. I recall “he’s too ugly to be the world champion, the world champion should be pretty like me!”
Lol
If he wasn’t ill, he’d have a lot to say.
😂😂
George's genuine and matter-of-fact humility in appreciating and accepting Joe and Muhammad's greatness was simply amazing and gave me goosebumps!!
No brat clothing, no gold chain, just gentlemen and pure class
Joe's wearing one.. but yh pure class..
no gang signs every 5 minutes.

Ali was 31-0 when Frazier knocked him down to win the title, Frazier 29-0 then faced Foreman who knocked him down to win the title @ 40-0. Foreman faced Ali who knocked George down to regain his title and usher in the Golden Age of boxing!!!
Frazier was already the Champ!!...What are you talkin' about??
@@eddiesoul4890 technically he still won the title,if you put it on the line your goal is to win it back.
True but the way who ever was putting it it was like he was the challenger and Ali was the Champ...I know once you put the title on the line it's up for grabs but what I was sayin' that it was that same old trickery....
@@joshuatree5620 Frazier didn't win the title; the title was his to lose, but he kept it.
@@bungholeshagnasty That's because Ali was the favorite but when he got dropped the odd makers couldn't believe it even though they had a lot of time left but Frazier came in as Champ and left as Champ....
I love how big George is always downplaying his abilities! He was an actual monster in the ring!
Imagine the mind of old George Foreman in the body of young George. He would be unstoppable
Everyone talks about his power, but everyone overlooks his technique. One of his best assets was the fact he used forgotten techniques which made most boxers confused such as leverage blocks, trapping, frames etc.
Love his defense. his arms in horizontal.
I think they really had love for Ali and they paid homage because they felt bad for what he was going through
Hes being extremely humble tbh 76-5 (68 ko) had one of the hardest punch ever and become champion at 45 which makes him the oldest champion. He beat Michael Moorer at 45 and give really competitive fight to prime Evander Holyfield only lost by couple of points at age of 42. Not want to take anything away from Ali but even the fight he lost to Ali wasn't that fair to him he fought in extremely hostile environment imagine everyone constantly yelling eat him Ali and even some guy trying to loosen ring ropes hes still being humble and accepting the loss. I know this program was before the examples i wrote but i wrote those to back up that hes one of the best , he was 46-2 and destroyed great fighters like Ken Norton and Joe Fraizer who both beaten Ali before this program so hes still being really humble. Im not saying he was greatest but he definetely should be considered at least.
Legends being polite and interviewed by courteous and gracious hosts. What the world needs more of!
It's gone done one. It's mugged the world and run away with the honour. We won't see the likes of these men again in boxing. The Saudis have thrown heavyweight boxing a lifeline. But that won't last forever ...we thought the casino era and the garden would last forever but it didn't

Your right! George Foremen when he was still fighting was quiet and mean. Now he’s friendly and soft like a big ol’ Teddy Bear.
Ali was always talking so much that he earned the nickname the Mouth from the South! He used to talk loudly nonstop. Then he gets Parkinson’s and talked in a whisper.

The smile on Ali's face after Foreman mentioned what Ali had said to him during their fight (5:32) is one of the best things I've seen in a long while.
So sad!
That was a "my bad" smile
That's all you got sucker 😉
Hell yes.
You got me.
George completely reinvented himself during his "second" boxing career. He went from a scowling monster to a big, lovable guy who won the world championship a second time and sold a gazillion George Foreman Grills.
The scowling persona was mostly an act he picked up from Sonny Liston, who he helped prepare as his sparring partner.
If you look at his interviews before he started working with Liston he was like he is now. He was very humble in his youth. When he met Liston he tried to emulate his hero like many young men do.
omg if Ali was in a good health he would talked the most and make this conversation something else!
Hahah too bad huh
Very true. His reply’s are slow but that spark was still there.
He would be rapping lol and busting the jokes hahaha
But always classy, and not personal.
The Powers that Be finally shut Ali's pie hole!!

I love this interview. All these great champs are so humble. Ferocious warriors inside the ring and true gentlemen outside of it.
So glad that Ali and Fraizer made up before they died. The graciousness of Ali to say The Greatest was al publicity and he didn't believe it as respect his colleagues was great!!!
J
What a gracious human being, beautiful man, his heart was gold
Hav you seen the JOe Frazier documentary? He was still very salty about how Ali treated him. Esp. the uncle Joe jibes.
Good to see they all got on. When they retired
You are wrong. They never really made up. frazier never got over all those Ali taunts. He didnt like Ali till the end. He just tolerated him
Imagine how many jokes we missed out from a what could've been a healthy Ali in his old days.
He's still cracking jokes here, slurry and all.

This interview is a classic, teaching the youngsters respect, admire and honour even your defeat. What were these men...salute !! Seeing Ali in this condition was really sad but Foreman's words were gold.
This line of reasoning always confuses me. Foreman and Ali cussed each other out and fought out of the ring on live tv in their day. Later, with age, sure they’re friends. They’ve shared something no one else can relate to. But looking at this generation of fighters and saying they don’t have the same class as the old guard is simply wrong. They just haven’t had time to mature yet. No true gentleman will ever be a champion in a fight sport because you have to be out for blood to win. After retirement you can mellow out. Look at these guys. Look at Tyson. That’s how it always has been and it’s how it always will be.

Thankyou

I think Ali, at this point, was suffering from Parkinson’s. I love how he kept his sense of humor and humility, and we can see those little intriguing glimpses. He gently retired into the background at one point, when the conversation drowned him out as he was trying to express himself; I really felt for him then. But he kept his cool and didn’t try to elbow his way back in. A beautiful human being.
@@bargainbassistit's pretty sad cuz you can tell he wants to be the life of the party but his body just won't allow it. He still was funny as hell in this video tho.

Me too..i was intrigued and such a fan just watching and to see this video really made me tear up❤️❤️❤️
Me too

Liston was the strongest.
@BlaZe Excalibur ...don't be so mad, man. Mike was a beast in his prime - and he only had love and respect for Ali, George & Joe, just like they did towards him.
People tend to talk smack, to gather together in groups and attacking each other - just like fighters do during promo. Nonetheless, we're all just people. None of us is better than the other. We're just different. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose.
I refuse to talk about great fighters who inspired soo many people like some would be more worthy than others. We're talking about the GOATs here.
Let others have their opinions. No need to be judgemental.
One of the most humbled things a man can say is if he had some of the greatness of the other two, maybe he'd be the greatest. - said Foreman
I love how humble these guys are , Ali saying he never thought he was the greatest, all guys praising each other giving their credit to God , stand up fellows
And there's mayweather who baosts he's as great as ali..... boast of the century😂
3 of the best men and best toughest boxers ever!
George was such a gentleman. He was the guy to have on this show. He didn't blow his own horn. He told how great Joe and Mohammed was. He was great. What a guy. George your a good guy.
Unlike Shannon Briggs LOL
Considering Foreman beat Frazier twice comprehensively, and Ali had to use all his stamina and intelligence to beat Foreman in the only fight the two had, who knows what might have happened in a second fight. Foreman could as well have knocked out Ali....
you have to remember Ali's win over forman was a big shock. Not many people backed Ali to win going into the fight
Just to let you know that George is still alive.
" If God calls me to a holy war I want Joe Frazier by my side ". Ali speaking of Big Joe . Total respect from the greatest .
That sentence always gets me motivated
Great comment you posted
Aww

Once a Legend always a Legend
just to think that George became champion again after this interview. gives me chills…
Yeah
Not really, he was sitting there looking like the Hulk. I think the man was made of granite.
Who also gets teared up on the thought that Ali is the quietest one, when he should be yelling at both of them.
It's sad man like who would've thought he'd be the quietest one out of all 3 of them
Sickness my friend...sad!
A quieter Ali through Pakinsons yes..... But Ali Knows that they all know...... He's the greatest!!
To Add.... I love them all..... But id rather avoid the style of Joe if I was to fight...... Three Great people here....

One of the most handsome of men. He did a TV movie about reconstruction in South Carolina that told me that if he had curtailed his boxing career when he was about thirty he could have had a career in acting.
Don’t feel sorry for me “ I’m the greatest “ - Mohammad Ali
HUMBLE??????!!!! I love Muhummad but he said that for that moment. He later realized after Joe told his story that he practically ruined Joe's life.
@@grosskopf2779 He thought Joe understood it was for hype, but Muhammad was so embraced by the people some of those digs cut deep. Muhammad apologized often and in public and said the same, always giving credit to Joe as his toughest opponent- but Joe was tremendously underrated. He didn't really get his flowers while he was here, and that's really a shame. The mental fortitude of Frazier would have only been matched by Ali. They were willing to die for this. Nothing but respect to the best that ever put the gloves on.
And no, NEVER feel sorry for Ali. That was a man's man. He was a giant that walked among us, that lived life on his terms. I doubt he would've changed a thing.
What absolute class shown by all three men. So humble and loving, Got me really emotional.
It's amazing how Foreman had gone from being the least approachable to being the most approachable.
Ali knocked some character in him
+Ryan Chinn Foreman said he wanted to be like Sonny Liston(his sparring partner) when younger. Mean and surly. When he did his come back he couldn't market himself like that anymore so he went with the affable god fearing preacher persona, and it made him more money.

Fighters were afraid of Foreman back in the day. He had enormous size and his punches were powerful. He knocked the hell out of his opponents.
The only other fighter that others were afraid of like that was Tyson. Back when he was mean and undefeated, he intimidated fighters.
George was scary! Even Ali has hinted that he was scared of going up against Foreman but hid it well....Can´t say I blame him.
Nt underating himself only being humble n modest
Well Ali outthought George in the rumble in the jungle but defeated Frazier twice convincingly...No doubt Frazier was a great boxer but I gotta say George is underrating himself saying Frazier was greater than him...

Three old legends sitting and recalling back to their past good ol' days when they where world champions, then George goes out and becomes world champion once again 5 years after this interview was recorded! what an absolute beast!
Good job
Its funny because it's 3 levels of punch drunk the further you go right.
Did you notice that everytime Ali said something the whole crowd started clapping?
Lol
Fabulous to see and hear these three together like this. Such humility. Fine gentlemen.
Maybe the greatest 144p video on youtube.
RIP The Greatest and Smokin' Joe.
George Xanthopoulos definitely agree with your statement about the video being 144p
If anyone can find a better one, please, let me know.
Imagine being a boxing fan today and never having seen Ali vs Frazier
That would suck!
Isn't it good to see the real gentlemen of the sport of boxing giving respect to each other. Smokin Joe was my favourite boxer ever, after Ali, his non-stop workmanship in the ring was always good to watch.
