“Every head must bow every tongue must confess Ali is the greatest of all time “

[oluwamayowaoluwagbade]

This is one the greatest interviews any man should watch to feel a certain type of high.

[dbest]

I love how Mike Tyson, the world's baddest man, almost acts like a child on christmas day in front of Ali

[ftgetfm]

Even with Ali slowing down with Parkinson’s, he’s still his same self making the whole audience laugh with his jokes. I loved him man. 🕊 RIP

[abohsukampret]

I love how Mike Tyson just totally went "oh stop it, you" when Ali praised him.

[mayormccheese]

Just imagine… Tyson who is on top of the boxing world, baddest man walking on the planet and still bows to Ali.

[fIrSt]

Ali's face after tyson's praises gets me everytime 😂😂
Tyson: He's the greatest of all time.
Ali: Damn right I am.

[jacobschwartz]

Tyson didn't just compliment Ali, he mentioned Foreman and Shavers as guys that hit harder then himself. He really respects and admires that era of boxers

[pandey]

Ali is the greatest of all time in two aspects:
1) Being the greatest boxer of all time.
2) Being humble and a great human.

I love how Mike was such a terror in the ring yet acted so humble in the presence of Ali

[siamwse]

the fact that Ali could turn a roaring, scary guy like _Mike Tyson_ into a humble and admiring gentleman in his presence tells you all about him, genuine blessing of a human being

[IStealFries]

Three of the greatest boxers who has ever lived, such an amazing moment.

[johnnytimberlake]

this interview in a nutshell
Ali: You're the greatest
Mike: No you're the greatest
Ali: No you're the greatest
Mike: No you're the greatest.

[SuperRKO]

Seeing how much Tyson loved and respected Ali is heart warming. At every encounter it was like a child seeing superman

[syamaantaksaikia]

The way he doesn’t speak a word till Ali finishes speaking shows his admiration and love for Ali.

[robosdrumworld]

And notice How at 2:39 Mike still referred to Ali as “THE CHAMP” even tho Mike was the Champion at that time. Ali is clearly THE GOAT!!!!

"In this situation, every head must bow, every tongue must confess that he is the greatest of all time" - Mike Tyson to Muhammad Ali....legends respect each other...

[dudebfg]

That audience is blessed to see this interaction. Ali praising Tyson is good but Tyson praising Ali hits so hard. I get chills hearing Mike say that about Ali. I love the audience's reaction to it; they could feel it too, especially back then.

These guys were not only the best but made boxing an expression on top of being a sport. I love that Arsenio jumps right to THE question. Ali had the best answer to who would win. He basically says "If he can catch me, he'd win". Perfect way to encapsulate both people's strengths; it's not only humble but completely honest too. Ali is great at running circles and tiring people out; Tyson is great at cornering people and delivering efficient punches.

Powerful line, “Every head must bow and every tongue must confess this is the greatest of all time.” 🗣️💯
