    Muhammed Ali is a man of the people. He isn't the GOAT just for his boxing. He is a goat for his contribution to the black / African communities as well, through his fights against oppression.

    Mohammed Ali was a man who was not afraid to say exactly what he thought or to stand up for what he believed in.
    Not everyone loved him for that, but that was what made him not only a talented boxer, but a great man.

      Taking your greatest athletes and throwing them in a war that's not to defend your homeland is very sketchy. It's very obvious the U.S government had a problem with Ali. They just wanted Ali to stop boxing. Because boxing is a corrupt sport full of fight fixing.@@midnightbat344

    I can tell you a couple of funny stories related to Muhammad Ali! Once when he was going on a flight, the flight attendant told him that he needed to buckle his seat belt. Ali told her, "Superman don't need no seat belt!" The flight attendant replied, "Superman don't need no airplane!" Ali laughed and buckled up. The second story involves Ali's close friend, sportscaster Howard Cosell. Ali was black, Cosell was white, and they loved each other like brothers. This was back in the 1960s, so that was unusual. One day, Cosell and another sportscaster were in a limo on the way to a sporting event, and their driver got lost. They went into a rough neighborhood, and there was a gang of teenagers having a fistfight on the street. Howard Cosell told the driver to stop. He got out of the limo and started calling the fight like it was Muhammad Ali v George Foreman! He had a very distinctive voice, and the kids stopped fighting immediately! They couldn't believe Howard Cosell was giving them the Muhammad Ali treatment! He signed autographs for all of them, and that was the end of it. Here's a video of this legendary duo from Ali's 50th birthday. ua-cam.com/video/NHgo_m6qN4I/v-deo.html

      ​@@tyyyy5733 Ali could be the greatest heavyweight!! Sugar Ray wasn't a heavyweight but might be the most accomplished overall boxer to ever touch gloves. But I will say this as I've always said. Heavyweight fighters usually have more punching power and many fighters in other classes may have struggled more had they been in the heavyweight division. Ali fought in the golden era of heavyweight boxing when he was the heavyweight champion. Ali has a case for that quote you made.

    Ali would sometimes train underwater to improve his hand speed. He would throw punches underwater against the resistance of the water. So, when he threw punches above water, they would be much quicker.

Many regard that fight as the greatest boxing match of all time. It was truly grueling, as both fighters probably lost maybe 10 quality years off their lives.

    That one with Liston was a very controversial fight. Back then you had to be very cautious about your opponents. My father seen this fight and told me that some boxers after the fight had already began would slip things into the palm of their gloves to rub off in their opponent's eyes to blind them temporarily to try to give them an advantage. The problem is that it only lasts for so long. As you could see, Ali wasn't happy about it, and it showed in his performance keeping his distance from then on while pummeling Liston for what he had done.

    Hello Sam, Ive been watching your videos for the last couple months and watched a good amount of the old ones. We in America love your families interest and appreciation for our country. All of you videos are enjoyable, the reaction videos, box opening videos, Atlantas cooking show, all of them are great. I was very sorry to hear about your mom. Most of you viewers know the feeling of losing a parent. I just wanted you to know you dont always need to be peppy and entertaining to put out videos. Sometimes its good to put out videos to discuss what you guys are going through as a family good or bad. Happy or sad. Its not the type of specific content you put out that keeps us engaged its you and your family dynamics thats enjoyable. Anyways, i would love for you to put a video out about your mother. What she did for a living, what kind of mom was she, what type of grandmother and mother in law was she. What did she think about your videos and how much love you receive across the world etc. I understand if you dont want to talk about this on a video but if you did all of us would love to hear. Based on you and your wifes parenting i bet your mom was quite a special lady, take care, keep up the good work, Cheers my man

    Hello there! I was wondering if you were watching him fight or watching him speak, because he was an amazing orator as well. What makes the Parkinson’s disease such a bitter foe to do battle with. If you ever have the chance try to watch some of his early interviews, I love the way he would rhyme in his speech without thinking, though they say that’s a sign of neurological problems too, it’s still an amazing skill to observe. My folks have dementia and my dad has a mild form of Parkinson’s too, probably from exposures in the Navy . Nothing like the hits to the head the champ took, but even head on crashes like mine have to be mindful of diseases like Parkinson’s as time goes on. It might start as a hand shaking or other small sign. I am just thankful for the functions my folks still have mostly, but that doesn’t mean the side effects are easy to deal with.

    Ali often used a modified version of the old Dempsey roll to dodge punches. It’s a figure eight bob and weave that most opponents can’t even understand. Most boxers learn how to do it but modify it for their own use. Tyson modified it even further into a destructive weapon. Another boxer actually made it part of a three hit combo to end fights quickly a simple uppercut to the jaw, a gazelle punch with a feint thrown in, and the nearly complete Dempsey combined with left and right hooks as the finish. Most opponents are instantly devastated and fall unable to continue. World champions of the highest caliber can easily see right through everything and dismantle the Dempsey so easily with simple left hand punches.

    Ali was 1.5 years older than I. When he was suspended from boxing in ‘67, his residence was in my neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. On a few occasions I would catch up to him riding his Harley Sportster, as was I. As I rode along side, we would nod each other’s approval. But my personal experience with Muhammad Ali came as my friends and I were imbibing at our favorite watering hole. Ali strolled into our hangout one night. We noticed him immediately and before he could order, we invited him to our table. We chatted for over an hour and came to realize that his reality is not his showtime persona. Five guys, close to the same age, enjoyed a rounded conversation. Of course, we were impressed, but he came off as an intelligent articulate pier. We enjoyed his company two more times that summer.

    I’m from Chicago’s Southside. During Ali’s suspension from boxing, he lived in my neighborhood. On several occasions, I had the pleasure of riding alongside him on East 79th St. We both rode Harley Sportsters. On those days I never had a chance to talk with him, but three times that I know of Ali stopped in our favorite watering hole and joined us for a couple of beers. I attended two such meetings with the man himself. There were four of us at a table when he first came in so we asked him to join us. We chatted for well over an hour. Mohammed Ali was not at all like the persona that he demonstrated with his “I am the greatest.” routine. His manner was one of confidence and interest. I liked him before we met and loved him thereafter.
    Don’t forget free golf lessons when travel through Indianapolis.

    Ali was the greatest fighter in history. But he was so so much more than that. We didn't get to see the best of him as his titles were stripped from him illegally for refusing the draft. He was just reaching his prime but lost three years of it due to this ridiculous breach of constitutional law. What a great great man he was.
