Laila Ali Quite Frankly Interview

[@et9038]

there is nothing fake about her, she is so straight forward, very confident just like her great dad tells it like it is you have to respect her one of a kind

[@googo151]

Love this interview and love him saying he's a black man and in love with this beautiful black woman. I don't blame this brotha, I'm PR, and I'm in love with her too. Mo-power to yuh brotha!

now this is a real black women period strong, smart, educated, & beautiful and she said it take two to make a baby not just a woman but a man to love laila god bless you

Gosh Layla Ali is the most beautiful female boxer that ever has stepped into the ring,not only is she has a natural beauty she is also very intelligent and poised I just love her

[@dalehoffman411]

Laila Ali a bad girl. I never watched women boxing until Laila. She's the truth and when I get my money straight I'm coming to see her.

[@keithperry9745]

SHE'S GOT IT ALL!!

[@jordangrier4842]

Amazing to see how society's messed up response to teamwork in the home was going on back then. No one clapped/cheered when she said "I don't make any decision independently when it comes to something that takes a man and a woman to do." THAT'S wife material...a lost art and mindset. Kudos Laila. (21:16)

[@TheReneex]

Laila remarried. She told Steven that her then boyfriend now current husband, Curtis Conway does not like women's boxing. That could have been the main reason for them not getting into the ring.

she is so right people know who to bully when you are confident it shows some will try and will find out real fast who this person is a straight-up fighter that takes no mess believe me they know right away most of them step back cause most bully or cowards.

Beauty & the Beatdown...

[@AAMS664]

If Laila Ali ran that fight back with Jackie Frazier a second time, and fought Ann Wolfe and won, then I could give her some props.

[@123CREATIONS]

I know right? I heard it was Ann Wolfs manager that was tryng to get hella money for the fight, and thats not what they pay in boxing so it just never happen.

[@jbcool9178]

How much money did they asked for? Just asking because I saw Laila do an interview, asking for 1 million dollars

[@jeremyreese9663]

I’m not sure how much but I do know it was a ridiculous amount. Layla manager wanted a lower price and Ann manager wanted something significant in terms of money and Layla said the price ass manager was asking they don’t pay women boxers that amount. So the fight never happened unfortunately

[@jeremyreese9663]

Ann typo

[@pdlbarrett812]

Laila has earned her right to be who she is! No because of her dad. Like her dad whom she looks like! Like she said. Beauty is good but her profession is boxing and she is undefeated. Now this is what I see that was missed in the comments. She has the mental skills of her dad as well and direct with each word. Thank you for this share. I followed the Greatest through his whole career and you can see him in her and that to me is wonderful! I wish her the best! 😊

[@user-vw6bk4pb4l]

Undefeated is not a flex when she did not fight all the greatest boxers of her time, there were others with more titles, and others also undefeated. Laila was great but never the greatest, even in her own era, she's top 5 all time not number 1 on any boxing scale lets be honest. Also, her father lost 5 times, including a loss to Fraser in his prime, but still considered the greatest because he actually fought everyone. Great in her own right, earned her respect, but no comparison to her father at ALL. Even when talking about promotion, she never made women's boxing popular people only went to see her, and once she retired the sport died, until Clarissa. Many great fighters of her era are now forgotten, once again her fathers name is the reason we're still talking about her.

[@keranichole1742]

U r a great fighter Laila I'm a big fan of yours...

[@kevinjackson7125]

Fight never happened but I do believe Ali could take her.

[@americanIDOLfan11111]

Apparently Laila doesn't understand that Ali was not the same Ali after he was banned for over 3½ years.. he didn't have the same reflexes, but he still fought the same way and pulled back. So Ali after the ban, like the one that fought Frazier.. might have some problems with certain fighters... but prime Ali would demolish anybody in the history of boxing.

[@jethrodassam]

li said himself he doesnt know who would win between Marciano and himself.

[@americanIDOLfan11111]

jethrodassam Who cares what he said.. he said a lot of things.. what does that have to do with who wins the fight? Prime Ali embarrasses Marciano.

I do believe if the fight between Laila vs Ann wolfe would have taken place it would have been the greatest female boxing fight in History it would have been a 50/50 toss up now if Laila would have taken the fight against Lucia Rijker who as you can see never mentions she would have lost to Rijker who is hands down the GWOAT followed by Laila Ali then Ann Wolfe then Christy Martin then IMO Cecelia Braekhas , Amanda Serrano, Sumya Anani, Holly Holm

[@bobyoung6186]

Great people here

[@cecilmorgan5084]

That was alot of fun. I would say, though, regarding Ali's so-called mistakes in the ring, things he did 'wrong', that he forgot more about boxing than his daughter ever knew. Dundee, who trained many world champions from the 50s on so he knew what he was talking about, said every punch Ali threw was delivered perfectly. Ali studied the standard, correct way of moving, punching, etc in the ring, and adapted it over many years to himself. This is from age 12. His natural speed enabled him to do things you'd say we're crazy. Look at him in the sixties moving backwards avoiding devastating punches by fractions of an inch. Against class opposition, too. So to see Laila here talking about how to overcome that movement with a feint is frankly just ridiculous. The evolution she speaks of is Bullshit. There are far fewer fighters now, and what they are is far less than what they were. In the fifties gyms were packed. The country still had dirt - poor families that coundn't afford TVs, refrigerators, etc. Boxing, like it was for the previous 3 generations, was seen as a way out. Therefore a young fighter had to come through more people with a wide variety of styles before he could gain prominence. Iow, he had to be a better fighter than today.
