I'm a black man I'm 67 year's old I grew up watching Muhammad Ali one of the greatest fighters of all time I'm lucky to be my age and remember what it was like to grow up in the 1960's and how my dad taught me how to be a black man in this country I learned alot from him and Ali the way he was after all he went through too rise above it to be the man he was makes me proud to be a black man in this country I still have the racists that h as have something to say about me and who iam but I don't care as long as nobody trys to hurt me I'll be FINE THANKS AGAIN JORDAN GREAT STUFF.......

[@daddybog7189]

A true Champion in and out of the ring. His interviews with Howard Cosell are classic.

[@steveperry921]

I'm a huge fan of the golden era of boxing. Thanks for this, Jordan! Amazing to think that's where Ali trained for his comeback as heavyweight champion against George Foreman.

[@Xavier-wf4vz]

The 70s man the golden age home to slightly chubby but still fast asf Ali 😆 Fr man Ali was fast even when he gained weight he was in a. War with shavers and went the distance nearly knocked shavers out too

[@jeffreardon3969]

Fantastic. I remember when Sports Illustrated ran a piece on Ali training in his camp. It was amazing. There will never be another. Greatest boxer and promotor for the sport. Bigger than life. Rest in peace.

[@Tis1977]

Wonderfull, it's unbelievable to see this place where Muhammad Ali is training for the big fights in the history of Boxing... Thank you so much to help us see out of other country, what we have not all see this in the documentations.

[@dianedavidson.1]

loved this man since i 8 yrs old..coming to this camp ground soon..... i live close..... never knew about this place....

[@kimramey8361]

He was the greatest! Floats like a butterfly, Stings like a bee! Thankyou Jordan

[@SalB122]

That's incredible you got to see that 🥊🥊walking into a monumental part of sports history, how generous to make it free for the public too 👍

[@2aforever510]

I grew up about 20 minutes from the camp. I remember my father taking me there the first time when I was just a grade school kid, maybe 8, I was in complete awe at the time and the camp was very active. There were boxers training in the gym, not sure who it was, but Ali was not there at the time. It didn’t matter to a young boy feeling like he was walking on sacred ground. That feeling has never dissipated. I have returned to the camp several times throughout my life and every time, I feel like that kid again. Anyone who has the opportunity to go needs to be sure to do so. The countless stories of Ali being an active part of the community around here are the stuff that make the entire legend of the greatest champion in the world even better. One example, Ali would umpire local little league games on occasion. How humble of a man to be the greatest, yet take the time to do something for the local kids? I haven’t been up the hill in probably ten years, seeing your awesome video is going to change that however. I’m now having the itch to get back to that special place and will do so in the coming weeks. Thank you for the great tour.

[@dianedavidson.1]

i live like an hour away....going soon....a saturday....

[@SultanOfTwang1956]

One of the most legendary, most iconic, and most important, influential human beings, athletes of our time. Without any shadow of a doubt a true people's champion 🏆 Thanks a million for sharing this amazing place Jordan.

[@AnaamSings]

You have done a service to all of humanity that hopefully will be appreciated for generations to come! thank you THANK YOU! I cannot imagine how it would have felt to you being there, looking feeling, smelling the air, very things he himself would have experienced

[@johnfronza2983]

Thanks for doing this. I was born and raised in the area and I was living there during Ali's training days. Thanks for bringing attention to an area that is populated by some of the nicest people you ever want to meet and are very appreciative that Mohammed Ali, the greatest fighter who ever lived, was kind enough to build that camp in Deer Lake, Pennsylvania.

[@frankmarullo228]

I love this video Jordan !!!! In 1995 I had dinner with him in billings mt. It was a benefit for the arts... It was AWESOME !!!! Thank you Frank from montana....

[@donnastedham9822]

Wow This was a great video of Muhammad Ali's training camp. Thanks Jordan.

[@ryannodal9309]

Always had a great love and admiration for Muhammad Ali. Not only the greatest as a boxer but as a human. Any documentary about him I just had to watch. Seen almost all of his classic fights. May his legacy live on forever

[@TheTattoo333]

You may already know this Jordan. But Elvis used to go visit Muhammad Ali at his deer Lake training camp. There’s an article online from the Philadelphia Inquirer, with a story that Muhammad Ali told. About the time Elvis came to visit him at the training camp and stayed for two weeks. He tells a story about he talked Elvis into going to nearby Pottsville to a little bar. They went in the back door, Elvis had a towel on his head and got up on stage. He sang you’re nothing but a hound dog. I always thought that was a cool little story and you might appreciate it.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Yes, I may do a video sometime down the line.. ive just been trying to lay off of the elvis-heavy stuff a bit... plus, I really want to go back, so that gives a new angle for a vlog

[@TheTattoo333]

@@DazewithJordantheLion I understand that. I’m sure it would be good.

[@rawhide154]

Back in the day, I was at a Laker game, good seats. Mohammad Ali came in late w a Forum handler. Handler sat isle seat next to Ali handing out autographs. Ali wasn’t doing great at this time and watched about a quarter. Norm Nixon was bringing the ball down court as Ali stood up to leave. Nixon stopped dribbling and every single player faced the Champ and cooly payed their respect. When Ali entered a tunnel the game simply resumed. No back court call or anything. It was a beautiful moment! Thanks Jordan

[@leetherockjohnson5376]

What a phenomenal vlog and the first time I've ever seen this training camp in more detail other than pictures in books. The real photos matching up Muhammad Ali to the surroundings in the cabins and grounds just gave the vlog that extra spice. Fantastic vlog Jordan 👏.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Ali was one of the greats! Thanks for the tour Jordan!

[@alancumming6407]

This is one of the many things that makes your channel great - you introduce us to all these amazing places. This splendid training camp is a great tribute to Muhammad Ali. He really was 'the greatest'. The 'Kitchen Rules' really made us smile - you could almost imagine Muhammad Ali reading them out loud - all the while with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. Many thanks Jordan.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you so much

[@aliekmek4833]

Many thanks for your great effort👏🏽 Its my dream to see this place one day for real,but with this impressions you showed us I felt like I was there,many thanks and great that you changed your mind about the Greatest🤗

[@msugrl33]

I haven’t heard of this place. I’m shocked. What an amazing place. You taught me something today. I’ve been to Louisville and saw all the Al stuff.

[@user-ui8or8cq7l]

I was one of Ali's trainers and spent a lot of time in Deer Lake

[@garyporter8153]

Holy Moly!!!!...Just when I think you can't top yourself, you do it again...The places you take us, the commentary you provide, all I can say is Thank You Jordan...By the way 23:08 never went so quickly, I wanted this to go on and on.

[@christopherallen9580]

Super cool episode today Jordan!

Thank you.. I was in awe myself being there

[@knuckletherapyserveothersf6092]

He really was a beautiful human being

[@msugrl33]

I can’t get over how detailed this is.

[@SlobArt]

Jordan. This was such an interesting vlog. It then led me to searching KZbin for Howard Cossell interviews with Ali. What banter. Priceless stuff.

[@ARBIS-19-70]

That was a great tour of my idol Muhammad Ali deer lake training camp, he would of been the life and soul of the place just makes me sad to think that it’s all a by gone era now but what memories that man left for everyone 🥊 🦋 🐝. ✨ ❤️

[@genemadsen8141]

Great Interesting Life of Ali. Thanks Jordan

[@clydemoyler8021]

WELL DONE YOUNG MAN

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, well, he has done a good job of restoring the training camp, some lovely photos too. I did like the old fight promo poster aswell. Glad it's been preserved. Great vlog Jordan.

[@mikemadden400]

Wow! Thanks for the great tour! You truly captured the feeling of what it is like to visit the Camp. Your video has only been up for three days, but already 7 or 8 visitors mentioned that they saw the video, and then made the visit. Thanks for the exposure!

[@jeffs8614]

He had a lot of great fights but the best one was with the US government for refusing induction. Forced to speak at colleges but they stripped him of his title and boxing license, he helped to create a tidal wave of resistance against the Viet Nam war. He went from hated to beloved in his lifetime. I was lucky enough to meet him and get autographs. He did magic tricks for us and shadow boxed with my son. He believed that doing good deeds would reward him with a better place in heaven. He was the definition of charm and charisma. God bless him. Thanks again Jordan for taking me to a place I always wanted to go but never did. I feel I was there with you. Wish Jah could have been there in the ring! Safe travels......

[@jimsmith5139]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@gregoryyearwood3035]

We had a great visit to Fighter's Haven a few years ago. Mike Madden the former Raiders football coach John's son, bought it and remodeled it.

[@debbieclark7031]

Thank you so much for showing us this wonderful place Ali loved so much. Its like he just stepped out.

This is Amazing! I have to visit someday

Hi Jordan and Jah!!!LOVED this tour!!! I grew up during Ali times and it was so awesome seeing where this great athlete trained!! I'd love to walk those grounds!

Before his bout with Larry Holmes, Holmes's training camp was just down the road a bit in Easton, Pa.!

I enjoy all of your blogs, but occasionally, like this one, you really hit it out of the park. \ .

[@Judy446]

Jordan that was awesome 👏

[@user-eb7zb4xg5q]

Господи помилуй! Красивое место, у чемпиона было всё продумано! Для бойца, лучше не придумаешь! Я из России, и вряд ли там побываю, но мой старший сын в Америке, живëт и работает! Попрошу его побывать там, сфотографироваться, ведь Али готовился там, к бою с опасным Джорджем Формэном, в 1974г! Спасибо!

[@outsider238]

That was really awesome! It's so cool they have all those pictures there to see him where he was in all the locations in the house. I'm so glad they've preserved all that.

[@bonniebrown6960]

That was really cool Jordan!! I never heard about this place before. Awesome job...!! 👍

Great stuff

[@allisonmarlow184]

First, I didn't see a bathroom in his cabin. (? Outhouse maybe?) Second, I see where his cabin was re-done. Different afgan. (Sorry.) The squares are a different size. Also, the interior wood is quite different now. Possibly refurbished. Take a gander at the comparison pics. Nevertheless, this was a COOL TRIP AND A COOL VLOG!👍 The BEST was the cook's sign!! Lol. Thank you for what you do, and for your special in-depth research. You make the world a happier (and more educated) place!

Awesome 👍🏻😎

Hey Jordan! There are some more great Muhammad Ali places to see in Berrien Springs/Niles MI if you are ever North! He had a home in Berrien Springs that was recently sold a couple of years ago.

Amazing to me that he had no weights there. Great vlog, thank you.

[@carolpisano4586]

Enjoyed this and all the places you go. I don't travel anymore, feel like I do when watching you. Did you see someone was peeking out at you, on the top three little windows? The one on the end, right when you were reading the signs, and walking up. Time stamp, 2.46 - 3.09.. So funny, maybe could have gone inside. Thanks again...

I delivered ALOT of stuff there!

i came in a few min. late. Not sure if you mentioned he was actually pretty good friends with Howard Cosell. Even though he was always kind of rude to him. It was all for show. My Dad never missed a match. So, I of course had to watch also. He was so fast!
