Muhammad Ali and Frank Gifford 6/9/78 (pre-fight)

[@thunderbird64masterson13]

HA HA HA , the guy is a total legend , we will never see his likes again ..

[@WWare16]

OMG- this guy warms my heart- he's bigger than life.

[@mr93prof]

Ali's prediction was dead on. Holmes defeated Norton in a split decision

[@andrewwashington9904]

Yes indeed! Dead on.. Holmes edge Norton in the exciting fight..

[@mahirrahman7]

But notice that Ali was saying that Holmes is the young blood and a hungry younger fighter compared to Norton, the fact still stands and even Holmes acknowledges that he actually lost that fight to Norton, just like in 1976 when Norton really won against Ali. Don King always has his hand on the corrupt hand picked judge

[@denissssss8579]

@@mahirrahman7 Holmes Said he lost to Norton?!

[@denissssss8579]

Ali also predicted michail Spinks fight correctly in 1984

[@Jonathan-pp3du]

@@mahirrahman7 Holmes never said that. False information.

[@shaynelahmed6323]

Ali was so spot on with predictions of other bouts of other fighters, he really was a prophet... it was uncanny...even before he beat Liston...he predicted Liston would beat Patterson easily .....still making me smile....love you Ali!

[@classicsurvivor]

How about the prediction that Norton would knockout Foreman?

[@Indastreets4life]

Even though Ali looks tired here, he still kills it.

[@dilluminatilair]

"I don't want him to hear no advice" LMFAO Ali is so funny brah

[@elvicare35]

What an awesome performance by an incredibly charismatic personality....man, he's so much fun to watch....and that was a great prediction too!!!!!!!!!! I loved his comment too about Norton being too cocky, walking around showing off his muscles etc. lol

[@libanabduqader3455]

elvicare35 your comment is gerat

[@louisvaccaro5865]

Ali was a really nice guy, asside from boxing, took time, going into schools visiting children, teaching them a little boxing. he was a true showman, and humanatarian. i know we all miss him. mike tyson loved him, and gave him a lot of respect!!. rest in peace champ!, you are sorley missed, and loved by many. Louie Vaccaro, las vegas.

6:04 THE GREAT MUHAMMAD ALI PREDICTING HIS THIRD TITLE WIN AS WELL!! TWO GREAT SPOT ON PREDICTIONS IN ONE INTERVIEW WHAT A LEGEND RIP !!!!

[@RNOB]

That proves that he udnerstood boxing like anybody!!! He not only did predict his fights, he could predict another boxers fight !!!!!!! GOAT

[@classicsurvivor]

He also said Norton was going to knock out Foreman though.

[@shazmaster]

@@classicsurvivor yeaa but that was before he fought foreman, ur still right tho. Holmes was his sparring partner for the longest time and he fought norton 3 times, so you would figure Ali would know what he's talking about and he was indeed right

[@denissssss8579]

Ali also predicted michail Spinks fight right in 1984

[@ard56191]

Ali was right on with his prediction on the Holmes - Norton fight. Get ya some Ali!

[@norvelwhite3811]

Awesome he hit the nail on the head about the Holmes Norton fight he also made good on the Spinks 2 promise

[@musicmatty67]

He certainly made good on what he said.. as he danced around Spinks all night and scored heavily at will. He also said that he would come in with his weight around 215 and though they said he weighed 221 at the weigh in..he certainly looked at least five pounds or so lighter during the fight.

[@elvicare35]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[@cnh2132]

The last interview in which Ali looked "top shape"...What happened between July 78 and September 78 is a complete mistery to me. He was a total wreck when he shot that interview with Cosell in the morning of his Spinks II match...

[@bamdam2848]

I don't see him as top shape here, he seems to be in early stages.

[@TheTessEffects]

Rush Ron, yet he won another heavyweight championship. Washed-up? He must have been great in his day!

[@jabu285]

Check 3:09 Ali to Gifford 'You're not as dumb as look!' LOL Gifford never heard him!

[@elvicare35]

Because he talked through what Muhammad said a couple of times annoyingly...I hate when interviewers do that, and a lot of them do!!!!! Frank Gifford, Howard and Meredith were so awesome on MNF!!

[@elliotplazinski2264]

The fact he predicted the Holmes vs Norton split decision is CRAZY

[@robbereal1982]

@rusty89ify respect the greatest as a man call him muhammad ali for 1. 2 holmes beat a shot fighter and he ddnt quit angelo called it off and holmes couldn't knock him out. Ali in 1974 would've killed holmes just like he did when holmes was his sparring partner

[@elvicare35]

The crowd, and myself, were in total awe of Muhammad Ali when he was just warming up and shadow boxing etc. before the Foreman fight, what a show, before the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FocusRS500]

He was 2 cocky, thats what gave him brain damage, saying hes different than other boxers ay 36 yrs old, that he is greater so there fore he can keep fighting, what a shame he didnt retire early 30s he would of been normal and been able tk enjoy his $ and retirement

[@dhan3704]

Expert

[@76WestSports]

I believe Ali is the greatest of all-time. There was only one time Ali did not make good on his promise and that was to beat Leon Spinks then unify the titles by beating Larry Holmes. Instead, Ali retired in 1979 with the RING MAGAZINE Belt (this belt can only be lost in the ring) and the WBA held a tournament for his WBA title. Listen to Ali's commentary after Holmes vs. Norton in 1978. Why couldn't you have defended against Holmes like you promised Muhammad? Why? R.I.P. 😔

[@archangel8876]

Ali nailed the split decision because the boxing game is rigged! As are all televised top sports. Time to wake up!

[@arealmench]

The Frazier left hook which floored Ali in their first fight may very well have been the one that caused his condition. It was a devastating blow, Ali only got back up on instinct when his ass hit the canvas. His brain was seriously rocked

[@elvicare35]

Are you an idiot? No offence!!!!

[@brucescott4261]

arealmench ...It was after Ali's bout against Earnie Shavers.

[@boxeolocopunch762]

@@brucescott4261 he was already shot when he fought earnie shavers.. the first sings of thw damage began next to thrilla in manila with joe frazier 1975

[@tlig]

It's rare for a single punch to cause this kind of damage. Much of the damage fighters suffer actually comes from sparring (where they use padded gloves). It's the sheer volume of punches that causes the damage.

[@quality333]

i like your show and like your style originated when he was a guest on Joe Namath show in 1969 . It became redundant and stale when he kept repeating it on other talks shows even when he had the parkinsons. The media was not smart enough to realize he said that too many times on different talk shows so it became not so funny anymore.

[@bambigibson1857]

So whats your point?...i dont get what ur sahing at all

[@yassirhv1]

what a sad life you have

[@andersongatheru5815]

Truly Ali was the Icon.The greatest there was,there is and there will ever be.

[@kingtyomama6564]

This poor guy got beat by a bum like Leon Spinks and it was because he was waaaaaaay too old and punchy. Dudes just beat Ali's brain out since the Black Muslims bled him dry. Look at it. Norton beat Ali 3 times regardless of what the judges say. Shavers beat his ass and didnt get the decision. Same with Jimmy Young. Joe Frazier and Larry Holmes racked his brain up too. Ali won the title in 1964 over Liston. What in the world was he doing still fighting in 1980?!?!?! Muslims.....

[@elvicare35]

No, he took him too lightly (Even overweight, the Ali magic almost stole it in 1977) and he didn't train as hard as he should have and lose a little more weight, but HE DID in the rematch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@user-ve5qn7zr4p]

Wtf has being a Muslim got to do with it? He only went that way coz he didn't want to be known and called by a name which was given to his family as slaves. He wanted to have that complete freedom from even the association of a name. Clay is a slave name, i reckon he would have taken on any religion but the one he had at the time. He was making a point, i think he was more interested in the progress of black people, and why shouldn't he be? He had the perfect platform to do that on and be heard, im not muslim or black but i can imagine not being allowed to eat somewhere because of my colour, as mad as it sounds its exactly what used to happen in that part of the world not so long ago. You could say he was forced into it, but at the same time he will be remembered by some idiots as a trouble maker or racist. Absolute bullshit, this man was truly brave in and out the ring. I hate terrorist and disagree with what it stands for but i can completely understand why he done what he done, I am the 1st to question a man's reason for getting the chop, Ali is definitely the exception. Proud to be a fan.
