My favorite Ali quote of all time: “if you look at the world at 50, the same way you did at 20, then you wasted 30 years of your life.” Truth.
you'd never see modern day celebs taking a stand like Ali did. He was in a league of his own.
Sacrificed his prime years for what he believed in. Most of us will never get close to what he gave up. Truly the peoples champion.
When people spoke their mind openly and tv wasn't afraid to air it.
"The system is built on war."
Muhammad Ali wasn't just a boxer, he was also a black activist who was fighting for our rights. Thank you, Ali.
Ali's courage inspired many men like me to refuse the draft. He was my hero when I was 18, and he means more to me now as a 70 year old.
I am now almost 61 years old - and it is still one of the highlights of my life when I met him, shook his had, and talked with him.
This really shows how talk shows have devolved, instead of making annoying jokes every minute they ask their guests intelligent questions while not interrupting them
"When Rich People fight Wars with one another, poor people are the Ones who Die"
Ali was not just all talk ... he put his life on the line in the ring . Truly remarkable person .
I was so lucky to meet this man! He was such a nice person and so was his family! RIP
Remember, this is when he was a villain and hated by the media and masses, he just didn’t care and wasn’t paving the ground for gaining something later, he is real, that is why he is a legend and widely-respected around the world
“Muhammad Ali just wanted to beat people up, not kill them. So the government said if you won’t kill people, you can’t beat them up.”
Ali's greatness was not only his ring achievements. It was his persona outside the ring that cemented his legacy.
Amazing how civil and calm they both were in that discussion.
The fact that this discussion was civil and didn't end in a shouting match really shows how far we've fallen.
Wow, it sounds like an audience reacting genuinely. And this level of conversation would NOT be allowed to exist on TV today. This show was raw.
He was one of the most remarkable human beings. He transcended all sports, life, politics and celebrity.
Truly Ali was the Greatest American ever, even over here in Europe he was an Icon, and walked tall above others, a brilliant shining light of decency, honesty and integrity
