Bryant Gumble Interviews Joe Frazier Ken Norton Larry Holmes Muhammad Ali 1989 Part 2

[@bullfranthrow]

Holmes is only boxer on this stage still alive. Rest In peace Champs

[@2009mikeyo]

Norton died?

[@hedgehog1965uk]

I'm afraid so. Joe Frazier died in 2011 aged 67, Ken Norton in 2013 aged 70 and, of course, Muhammad Ali in 2016 aged 74. Larry Holmes is now 66.

[@makaveli3189]

Insane that this interview was 34 years ago. They all still looked so young here, even Ali was able to speak pretty coherently. Holmes is the only one from this panel still alive…. May all these champs rest in peace. You will never be forgotten ❤️ 🕊️

[@KingMellow11]

I love the fact that these brothers had and have love and respect for each other. Especially Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali. Even though they were serious rivals, They really love each other and it shows in this clip.

[@tlig]

5:40 One thing I always liked about Frazier is that he gave other people credit (with the exception of Ali and we all know why). He wasn't one of those guys that had to make excuses or talk down fighters that came after him. I always noticed that with the man. Even his losses to Foreman I never heard him say anything to excuse them...

[@joshg2350]

Love at 3:40 when Ali asked Frazier how'd we do it and they made that face they used to make at each other in the pre fight press conferences.

[@theinstigatorr]

Ken Norton looks so cool here, I love his style

[@brolickscholar3083]

He got sad @ 05:05 when Larry said “He only had the title for 3 months… Larry took the wind outta his sail. 😂😂😂😂

[@Davewise1965]

Muhammad Ali was always the star attraction. I am not saying that Joe Frazier and Ken Norton weren't good fighters because they were. When people came to see the Ali versus Frazier fights and the Ali versus Norton fights I would say that at least 90% of those people came to see Ali. Ali was the one who drew the crowds. Ali in his prime would have beaten Holmes no problem. Rest in peace Ken Norton. Rest in peace Joe Frazier. Rest in peace Muhammad Ali, the greatest of all time.

[@twomovesahead_media]

[@MoManny]

Amazing that Ali still outlived Frazier. Who would've guessed it from this interview with Frazier saying he had no health issues whatsoever and Ali saying he felt old physically.

[@CapitalYT]

Frazier got cancer. Nothing to do with his boxing career

[@Danimal300zx]

MoManny Ali also outlived Ken Norton.

[@therealc.t.7085]

Capital Frazier had liver cancer. Very possible it resulted from the internally damage from the body blows.

[@dimcadallapeorgantone993a4]

@@therealc.t.7085 Nope not from blows Frazier had issues with drinking too much alchohol He drunked liters of whiskey every day After day in interview Joe drove car with Ali in it They got along and Ali said that in driving he drinked 2 liters of whiskey in 15 minutes You can find on every forum that he loved to drink too much and people who drink too much in 90% got liver cancer

[@sleazyfellow]

Frazier was so fast I remember hearing the diagnosis and then bam, less than a few months later he's gone. Probably undiagnosed for so a long time

[@HatersHaveOpinion1]

Larry Sounded Salty When The Mention Mike Tyson Name In The Mix

[@swp2154]

Joe was absolutely right when he spoke about Mike Tyson. He knew Holmes was being a little unfair to Mike and perhaps a little bitter being that Mike had nearly sent Holmes head into orbit just 1 year prior to this interview. But Joe got to see Mike Tyson up close and personal when he had to peel his son Marvis off the canvas in 1986.

[@waris8531]

Dumbass Homles wasent in prime Mike is a bitch

[@sorakazama7031]

I wouldn't say unfair just bitter. Everytime Mike got to someone top in his Era he got ran over. I wish him and Roy Jones Jr fought so we could see if Roy's tactics would overcome Mike's aggression

[@AMLM117]

A little? Very unfair and very bitter. That's what stopped him from being popular, his bitter and arrogant personality

[@craigridley7369]

Yeah Ali gave him one hell of a look.

[@mimip8834]

@@AMLM117 agree 💯 Larry Holmes is a bitter sore loser.

[@Alb0KiD23]

Ali was nearly 39 years old when he lost to Holmes, beat Fraizer twice, and beat Norton twice despite being significantly pasted his prime (he was 35 in their last fight). So even though he technically lost to everyone on the pannel, he had winning records against 2 of the 3 men and only a fool would give that Holmes fight any thought. A 1968 Ali would wipe the floor with Holmes without question. I would even say a 1975 Ali would beat him down (remember their fight was in October of 1980, a solid 9-10 years past Ali's prime). People need to get their facts straight before they try to put a champion down.

[@fktyson100]

Also the fact that Ali retired 2 years prior to the Holmes fight and only took the fight because he was offered 8 million for the fight and no one from his camp wanted him to turn it down because of the money. It was a fight that should never have taken place.

[@Alb0KiD23]

Frazier is a legend and their first fight was one of the greatest in boxing history.

[@NinaDuran2014]

And Ali was diagnosed with parkinson

[@abdulqaadir6510]

True that bruz. I reckon even a 1975 or less Ali would've defeated Holmes!

[@ldanzamariastile3536]

There is no way holmes would've beaten the ali in his 20's 30's NO WAY! that fight with ali should never have taken one because he ws ill and two he was to old

[@daniel-zh9nj6yn6y]

The fact that Joe Frazier was blind in one eye all his life is mind-blowing.

[@stanlibuda5786]

He was partially blind in one eye. Not completly blind.

[@abdul-hadidadkhah1459]

Holmes was fresh after fighting him, he's a lion, he still has pride.

[@kaisar1]

Interviewer is provoking 3 wrong men sitting beside Ali. Ever he wondered if one of them stood up and landed a punch for disrespecting them. Even Ali would have said, ' He deserved it'.

[@bigsteve1894]

I know right that interviewer asked some stupid questions filled with disrespect, stupid guy.

[@SugarRayCharles.]

As I watch this in November of 2022, I can't help but to think of how fragile and limited life is. The only man out of the four in that interview that's still alive is Larry Holmes. Those men sacrificed much to be considered great. To see them deteriorate was/is saddening.

[@waqarshaikh7839]

if this interview happened some years later than the interviewer himself would not get a single chance to speak forget about the rest of people... it would be ALI dominating everyone ... The true champ, my hero, THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME Muhammad Ali 💪

[@lriper4702]

Even if his son lost from Tyson, Joe respects him. What a nice guy

[@eddiemurray1931]

Respect to all of these great men, age caught up with them and sickness, god bless you all.

[@mohdsaif459]

Ali iz the greatest of all time..

[@c23e]

I used to love Ali as a kid but looking at him as an adult, Ali was not even the greatest in the heavyweight division let alone all time. Louis, Walcott and Marciano were equal to Ali in their prime but Ali might have given them a close run for their money and might have beaten Marciano because he had a style that suited Ali. Ali before 1969 was superb but still not the greatest but should have beaten Walcott but not Louis. Sugar Ray Robinson was the best of all time - just from the number of fights he had and the skill and punching power he displayed against all-comers. Ali knew how to use PR and publicity which got him tv time and pupularity. He had one dubious points decision in his prime but at least three dubious decisions after 1971.

[@JACKHASAIDS]

c23e You are crazy to think any of those 3 could beat ali in his prime

[@dreman1970]

c23e How the hell would Louis beat a prime Ali??? He was a plodder....and all of Louis' contemporaries in his time were slow flat footed fighters.....First fighter he fought that had footwork was Walcott...and he struggled mightily...albeit Louis was past his prime....Louis would never catch him....A Young Louis got starched by Schmeling....THAT Louis would get annihilated by Ali....he would get KO'ed late...Louis didn't have the greatest chin....Walcott??? PUHLEASE...he was a smaller version of Ali....and less hand speed....

[@c23e]

We are talking about boxing - where anything can happen. If you look at the stats then Marciano was the best but I don't think he was - though he always got up from a knockdown and finished off the job. Louis was caught out by schmeling as an up and coming boxer.. Look at the difference between their first fight and the second. Fight one went 12 rounds but by the rematch schmeling could only last 1 round so shows how much Louis improved. Louis only lost that one fight in his prime and always came back against opponents. Ali after his return just did not have the speed and timing - that was his major strength. Frazier beat him easily in their first fight. Norton beat Ali all three times (and I never liked Norton). It is always a question of styles make fights - that's why Norton could last 39 rounds with Ali but only 1 with Foreman or Shavers or Cooney. Ali would have struggled against a prime Walcott but would have gone either way. I haven't even mentioned the likes of Jack Johnson who was unbeaten in his prime and only lost when he was an old man fighting more than 40 rounds. Ali was great but not the greatest. Unfortunately we live in an age of hype where those who generate the publicity and can be funny and entertaining are rated higher than they deserved. Ali used to pour scorn on Louis saying how he ended up a broke bum - but look what happened to Ali. And he got ripped off by the great crook Don King, not once but time and again and ended up broke. Ali was not even a good man - look at how he treated Frazier (even after Frazier helped him out financially when he was broke; he cheated on all his wives; and followed the warped teachings of elijah muhammed and betrayed Malcolm X. Given all the power and fame and wealth that Ali had, he could have achieved so much more. We should be arguing about what great educational establishments he helped set up etc It's hard trying to place fighters out of their time and era against other fighters 9 who are often different sizes and weights) but you can only really look at them in their own era and see what they achieved.

[@dreman1970]

c23e I understand all of that...but every fight of alis u brought were AFTER his exile...which wasn't a prime ali. The first fight with schmeling was VERY close to louis' prime. And as far as the post exile ali...he wasn't as fast....but he was a stronger fighter. The 74 ali that beat foreman to me was almost as good as the late 60s ali...as far as walcott...he didn't even hit as hard as ali...wasn't as fast...and was 20 pounds LIGHTER....with about a 5-6 inch reach disadvantage. Which means he would have to come to ali in order to hit him...and that wasn't his style..if they stayed on the outside walcott has no way of touching ali. Listen louis was a great fighter....one of the greats of time. But as u kinda said..styles makes fights. Go back and watch the fighting styles of every fighter louis fought in his prime. They all had one thing in common....STATIONARY TARGETS. The ali of 66-67 ( reference Cleveland williams)...would have too much hand speed and foot movement.

+Marco Cano thanks Marco. I said that because, Ken Norton was a relatively obscure boxer until he upset Ali. Ken had a very average career and didn't do a lot apart from beating Ali. Ken never won the WBC title it was awarded to him, and lost that title in his first defence. All this means was Norton had Ali's number and that's his claim to fame.

As soon as Bryant Gumbel mentions the other fighters in Muhammad Ali's shadow, you can instantly see Joe Frazier ready to take offense, and Muhammad Ali and Ken Norton knowing full well that that's about to happen. Ali immediately tries to stop that line of questioning, but his Parkinson's makes him too slow. Then Joe cuts him off and wants to set Bryant Gumbel straight that he ain't in nobody's shadow. After that, Norton tries to intervene. They all know that telling Joe Frazier that he is in Muhammad Ali's shadow is a sure way to immediately piss Frazier off.

3:25 Frazier was so into his story he did not listen to what Ali had to say

[@willythewave]

Ali said some of the worst shit anyone could ever say to a MAN and Frazier was one tough MAN. Ali called him a Gorilla, a dummy, clumsy, ugly and an Uncle Tom among many other degrading things. Frazier even gave Ali 2 million dollars once when Ali was down and out and wasn`t allowed to box and did everything in his power to help him get back in the ring. Ali was always cutting off whatever Frazier said and would interrupt him mumbling making fun of his speech. Ali was a serious loud mouth asshole.So Frazier had every right to ignore him when he felt like it. At that time Ali betrayed him, but even through all that they were still friends before their fights and in the years afterwards. And here`s some more trivia. Both Ali and Frazier sang and released albums, Frazier more so. They were both really good singers but when asked, Ali said Joe was the one that could sing, yet he always made fun of how he talked. I was ten years old when all that was going on and I hated Ali throughout his career, I rooted for anybody to kick his ass......all because of his big mouth. It wasn`t until I got older and their careers were over that I realized what tuff legends these guys were. And Ali really was one of the best but when he started the ropey dope you felt cheated because he wasn`t fighting. I understand the strategy now but man it sure pissed people off back then. Joe was a bulldozer that could take hundreds of punches that no normal man could take even one of. I don`t care what anybody says, Smokin Joe would have kicked Tyson`s ass when he was in his prime any day. Those one punch knockouts of Tyson`s wouldn`t have worked on Joe. Joe would have wore his ass out and left him laying on the canvas floor, everytime. Yet Joe gave Tyson respect in that interview but I could tell he knew he could have beat him and really wanted to say it but chose to be respectful instead because he couldn`t bring back the past and be young again. If you`ll notice he didn`t say anything about Tyson being great, just that he was doing what he had to do and was on target ( meaning he could place that one knockout punch.) But as far as legends people forget Rocky Marciano who was undefeated and defended his title 6 times and had a record of 49-0.
