The amount of charisma and charm Ali had is just unreal.

The title of this video is a bit suspect.

I had the pleasure of meeting Joe Frazier back in 1978 in Philly. I was at a deli about to order for me and son and in walks Joe Frazier. He was very friendly, struck conversations with everyone and in the end bought our lunch and also paid for everyone else. I will always remember how kind and genuine he was. RIP Joe and thanks for a wonderful memory that will last me a lifetime.

Even Joe cant resist Muhammads humor, he was really trying not to laugh but ended up laughing, honestly its immpossible not to feel sympathy for someone like Ali <3

"to all the brothers, when it comes to one of these fellas trying to divide us we must unite". This man was always aware of his surrounds and worked his whit with consciousness, all the time.

Why old shows are more entertaining than today shows?

[mehdieminem]

Ali is so smart with using his words that even dick cavett thought he was reading it of somewhere .

[muqbulmuqbul]

Ali felt it was disrespectful to greet Joe from a sitting position. He stood up just to greet him, what a man! May ALLAHswt grant him the highest place in paradise.

Dude. Imagine being able to say you were lifted up by two heavyweight champions on live TV. Legendary.

Nobody will match this amount of sportsmanship, charisma, integrity, and personality. I speak about BOTH Ali and Frazier when I say that. What a couple of gents.

You can tell they genuinely liked each other despite all the trash-talking. These two guys had the best friendship.
