He was a master at creating publicity to promote his sport and his fights. He also had a natural sense of humour that no other sportsman had ever displayed before which is why the TV and press mobbed him.

[@hellochely687]

Came here after watching One Night in Miami to see if he really talks like that LOL I was not disappointed! Great movie and I had no idea what a great personality Mr. Ali had!

[@sayyid5869]

Lol Ali makes the reporters call him the greatest cause they was crucifying him in the papers saying he was a joke and that he had no chance.

[@EastsideCdale]

He made a room full of caucasian men say he's the greatest....IN THE 60s!

3:10 "I knew he was going to beat Liston, I told you" Mic drop moment by the late Angelo Dundee.

There's only ONE pound for pound greatest fighter of all times and that's Muhammad Ali. IMAGINE if Ali was a Middleweight! As fast as he was as a Heavyweight, imagine him being a Middleweight! Ali THE GREATEST!!!

[@jublicqohnp.61]

Ali was by far the greatest heavyweight of all time. But even Ali said that Robinson was the greatest fighter of all time.

@@jublicqohnp.61 Ali was the Greatest of All Times. Period. Next is Floyd Mayweather.

[@thorn3807]

@@thespy7795 Trust me bud. More pro boxers themselves say that Sugar is the greatest, and there really isn't a contender when you just look at his record with how dominant he was. Sadly his prime footage is pretty much completely lost or was never captured. I love Ali more than any other boxer, but when it came to true boxing technique, Ali isn't the greatest. Plenty are better at him at boxing. It was his mindset that made all the difference, plus his reflexes, footwork, stamina and chin

[@thespy7795]

[@NuisanceMan]

@@thorn3807 Mindset, reflexes, footwork, stamina, and chin are just as much part of boxing as technique.

Why is Bundini crying and saying 'call my name' 😂😂

[@cavaleer]

Haha, I guess he wanted people to know he was part of the champ's camp.

[@ettawing5955]

drew bundini

[@therealc.t.7085]

For him, being with Ali cemented his place in boxing history. Not many people knew about him when he worked him Sugar Ray Robinson. Ray didn’t mention him much and the media was still developing. Bundini was a lot more important to Ali’s confidence and success than most will realize. He wasn’t perfect, he exploited Ali’s generosity quite a bit but he did sincerely love him. He cried every time Ali lost, as if he was in the ring with him.

From luoisville kentucky cassius marsillius clay embrace islam became muhammad ali would not going the army and kill vietnamese people that why he was hated young skilled a politically conscious never will be another like him. Consider the time when he took his stand. Not like today much harder back then i was afraid for him and would have never had the courage to do what he did in that time. Atheletes back then where taught to be humble quite and be grateful. Especially black atheletes.
