I admired him for his integrity. He quietly expressed his beliefs. And I like the respect Carson showed him. Two greats.

[@user-dv3xy4yp6t]

A champion ADMIRED and Loved around the world. 👌👍👏

[@tinaroberts5858]

Love love love Mohammed Ali. My brother introduced me to boxing when I was very young. I loved it. Mohammed Ali was my idol! I'm female btw. 62

Muhammad Ali and Bob Foster fought "8 days" later on November 21, 1972, in Stateline, Nevada. Ali won by knockout in the "8th round" as he had predicted here with Johnny.

[@privatehand]

Maybe I've watched too many gangster movies but to have gone down in the 8th as Ali predicted sure stinks of a fix.

[@user-br3ou2cs9o]

@@privatehand Well the whole fight is available on KZbin. Watch and see if you think it was a fix.

[@IJones-yz6qm]

@@privatehandWell he got Archie Moore in 4 / Henry Cooper fell in 5 just as he predicted. And Sonny Liston was about to get KO’d in the 8th but he quit in round 7. He was KNOWN for making predictions when he first started boxing 🥊 as Cassius Clay… Bragging / reciting poetry and staying Black. WHO doesn’t know that..

[@IJones-yz6qm]

Muhammad Ali is an global inspiration and his life has been well documented so I’m not sure 🤔 why you’re associating him a Fix.

[@IJones-yz6qm]

@@privatehandFIX? No, the Fix would’ve been if Muhammad Ali would’ve allowed America 🇺🇸 to unrightfully Draft him and to Vietnam 🇻🇳 Now that would’ve been a FIX.

[@davidpaul6615]

A great man & amazing role model. His interviews with Howard Cosell were amazing

[@user-uj5lq1mu3z]

Love both of them true hero's. How can I miss this time while I wasnt born that time its so amazing to watch

[@davidvalensi8616]

The greatest interviewing the greatest.

[@richkraft3620]

This aired the day I was born. Thank you for posting this.

[@IJones-yz6qm]

Wow.. That’s a blessing in so many ways. Believe it.

[@hj_1881]

no one cares

[@markbirchette8740]

Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, I'm the baddest and the meanest. I'm Muhammad Ali! 🥊 🥊

[@Blood0cean]

The fact that Johnny was Christian background he still gave Ali his flowers when Ali said all that about lifting ppl up morally and spiritually knowing he was an outspoken muslim. Carson didn't say well u and so n so Christian pastor tv evangelists that scream at the camera for money, he said Ali is more qualified than any other to do that. That was the reverence Ali was given by fellow celebrities Carson arguably being as big as any of them. There isn't a single entertainer today where we can say the same about.

[@IJones-yz6qm]

Big FACTS!!!! And thank you for your words of enlightenment..

[@danam0228]

What quality film from that time, and great subject of course

[@ferialrzouki2796]

God bless you Muhammad Ali Clay اللهم🙏 ارحمه برحمتك الواسعه وادخله فسيح جناتك وجازيه بالاحسان احسانا وبالسيئات عفوا وغفرانا 🏆🥊🥊

[@user-hu2yu3ez1e]

Respect each other and...i mean this man was the greatest of all time...and everything he said respect in peace Mohammed ali

[@opiokapi4418]

Love you Johnny 💗🧸

[@fearsomename4517]

Mahammad Ali the humanitarian and the greatest of all time.

[@TwistedL1fe]

The one & only Muhammad Ali. RIP.

[@Misty-xu2vq]

The interviewer kept asking about his age and he got fed up and clapped back with class lol. Gotta love the dude

[@strothermartin5368]

Close Circuit.....WOW!

[@jaelinsmith5207]

Johnny Carson your grey straight plaided suit is very flawless, one day I'm wearing suits from Apollo King to make it like your 1970's suits.

[@anonymous203020]

I am happy that Johnny never had to see today’s world. He would be horrified by how horrible things are in the U.S. these days

[@ramoncook8480]

Loveed the GOAT. We miss you sir.

[@Aristotelezz]

Bob Foster indeed fell in the eight round!

[@uncjim]

Smokin’ Joe was due to meet George Foreman. The rest is history.

[@kingcassius2586]

I didn't realize that Ed McMahon was HUGE! Ali was 6'3"!

[@strothermartin5368]

Ali found out later about his money. On how much little he had left.

[@user-bu7ko2or8e]

Muhammad very easy going and laid back here.

❤️Louisville Ali💕

[@lancer.greene8170]

Lift each other

[@user-ft6og5vl6n]

Probably the greatest of all time. Unfortunately he fought too long, and because of his style, like the rope a dope, took way too many shots and he suffered because of it

[@brettmcclung7590]

He was known as Cassius Clay! Was his real name back in the 50's and 60's before he converted to Muslim. He always had a big persona or personality. But that's for show and wasn't the real him. Great interview! @johnny carson please upload the Full show of this and others. I think I have this episode already on dvd.

[@faithfultrue8003]

Unsaved if he didn't believe in Jesus Christ.

[@manofocean]

@@faithfultrue8003 muslims believe in Jesus as a prophet of god, among others

[@alexanderharris8310]

Good points 👍

[@September2004]

This is after Carson moved to LA.

[@PeterG1975]

For such a large man, Ali is barely audible. I had to adjust the volume.

[@tomking1890]

You always do as he is soft spoken.

[@rafaelramirez1507]

He did look uncomfortable, something was probably bothering him I believe Don King was on his mind

[@mikehunt9884]

Ali was heading there too, he had a big entourage, he boxed for too long, he could've ended up broke, but he must've had someone really smart in his corner as he got older, because he made some lucrative deals eventually. He didn't die broke. After all, he made the name Muhammad Ali known worldwide, of course that alone was bankable.

[@afud1015]

He almost went broke after his fight with larry holmes, even worse that leech Don King was sucking up Ali's money. Luckly for Ali his wife took care of everything like managing and investing Ali's money. Even after his death his wife still actively promoting the champ legacy

[@alexanderharris8310]

Rise up workers

[@morrispartow759]

THE GRATEST

[@lancer.greene8170]

[@homebusinessdad]

Muhammad Ali was his quick witty jovial self, was this the eariliest sign of his parkinsons disease setting in? Because he is talking quietly and responding slowly.

[@ritchski1]

Ali had a quiet side to him, I seen this in a few interviews. I believe Ali said he first noticed a slight slurring in his speech in 74. here he seemed more tired and reserved.

[@rafaelramirez1507]

Ali lied right there cuz Don King robbed him

[@IJones-yz6qm]

Do you realize this is an interview from 1972? Don King didn’t start promoting Ali fights until 2 years later for the “Rumble in Jungle”

[@IJones-yz6qm]

You’re speaking WITHOUT knowing what year this interview was aired…. You need to do your homework before you call someone a Liar…

[@IJones-yz6qm]

Mr. Ramirez 🇵🇷 Why are you commenting on Muhammad Ali ☪️ ? Why do you even care? Why would you care about lie if that’s what you’re think he’s doing.

[@rafaelramirez1507]

@@IJones-yz6qm why not , this is comment section in case you didn't know

[@captaintruth3219]

Some people say boxes aren’t too bright but he was smart enough to become a mail order preacher to duck the Vietnam war, which is more than a lot of the educated white teen boys did. He made a lot of money and he lost a lot of money but in the end he didn’t even know what money was.🥊

[@estherweber2803]

Cashes clay

[@user-td2wi4vw6r]

He converted to Islam, which is really good for him, and by the way: of course his name was not Muhammad before he converted to Islam.

[@whyyesilovejesus34]

He lead people in the wrong direction.. in faith.. very very sad how many followed him to a dead end for eternity in the afterlife.

[@shadowwolf9503]

There is no one "correct" religion. Every person must travel their own path.

[@passtheawksshow]

Then people are too easily led. That’s not his fault. He lived his life genuinely and unashamed. What they got from his legacy is on the individual

[@chesterproudfoot9864]

All religions are the wrong path.

[@richrydell9025]

I did not think much of muhammad ali he would fight for money but not for his country.

[@Smesa]

it's widely accepted the vietnam war was an all out failure, no one was fighting for their country apart from the Vietnamese

[@J35Y1]

He didn't want to take innocent civilian lives. What war do you look back on fondly?

[@overthehill1958]

Bullshit.
