Why they finally gave him a licences to fight. Knowing he already had fbrain damage. People that know a lot about Ali say that in real life he was very humble. He joked around a lot. Great since of humor. Elvis Pressly said he was as nice of a man you could ever meet. It's very good to hear a veteran not hate the man. Refreshing. TC

Sorry but I have to disagree with you brother. Watching this video about fifty times already, and every time I got angrier and angrier. And not about the performance of Billy, but about how the Jews are treating all their neighbors in 2022. Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Iran which is Bout 700 miles away from Israel. And my take about Israel is the following: before they landed there, every religions could live in peace with each other! It was not a mistake to call it the Riviera of the Arab world! And about Humility, dude, they are worst human beings among religious believers. Just like their big brother the USA all think that they are some kind of special. Yes it’s true that to. Special interest is their speciality. So, if I want to have visit, and experience friendly and human warmth, I defenetely not gonna visit Israel! I will go their next door neighbors, and any can show more Humility than the friendliest Jewish family can!!!

That's why, although Biden repeatedly said 'we will not build a single foot on the wall', Biden is now spending billions building the wall because without a wall, any nation without one sustains a gigantic spike in physical and criminal violence (as we in the US have), a huge spike in economic destruction (one of many reasons the inflation disaster is going on right now), and several other destructive issues.

I found Muhammad on youtube a few years ago and the impact he had on me was something I'll never forget. I was terribly shy and lacked confidence to a point where everyone including my friends and parents were always commenting on it. I watched his videos probably for a couple of hours and I realized that he didn't believe he was the greatest because of his success in boxing, he had success in boxing because he believed he was to be the world champion. It didn't happen over night but ever since in every task I do I change my mindset to believe that I will be the world champion of this task. It's cheesy but it really works. I use it at my crappy retail job, school, sports, chores, everything. I even wear necklace to remind me whenever I feel like coasting.

Tear down, knock down just get rid of it

The greatest athlete in the world! He continues to touch our hearts. Handsome, poetic, let us know how he would NOT fight against people that never ever lifted a finger against him. He taught us a lesson. Turn the other cheek, but always state your opinion with love & kindness Muhammad Ali, you will always be in our hearts.

I know I've watched this before, but had forgotten how incredible it was. Billy gave the perfect send off to a legend.

I remember the first time I met Ali. I was 5 or 6. And I was waiting at the bus stop with my grandmother on Bardstown rd. And here comes this man jogging down the street and stopped to talk to my grandma. Apparently he knew my grandfather or something like that. I was in awe of this happy joyful man. He asked my name. I told him Dawn. He told me my name meant light of day. Then he told me to always be the light. I will always remember him as kind and loving to ALL people. He didn't care if you were black, white, Catholic, Muslim or Jewish. He cared because you were human and that was how he was period.

He was/is the greatest of all times.

He did make our lives a little bit better than they were!

Joseph Norato if we let the champ in our heart for a second, in that second, we would be brave.

Greetings from Amman, Jordan . If Mr. Billy Crystal happens by chance to read this it would be magical . Not holding my breath . Listening to your speech has been a true breath of fresh air . It’s been a long time since I’ve heard some indirect positivity in regards to our “Semitic family feud “ . Thank you for honoring Ali and being a voice for peace . Humanity still has a chance . RIP Muhammad Ali, the King of Boxing lives forever .

That was a beautiful heartfelt speech from Billy...funny and sad also at the discrimination. What an amazing connection between Ali and Crystal.. ❤❤❤❤

wonderful speech Billy Crystal, building bridges not walls ..respect from your Muslim brother

“35 years after he stopped fighting, he is still the champion of the world” Sums up Ali in that one sentence. When you hear the word “Greatest” no one else comes to mind but Ali.

Michael Jordan. Wayne Gretzky. The SPORT was the important thing, not themselves. Whatever they thought privately, in public they were gentlemen and truly humble.

Billy Crystal inspires us all as much as Muhammad Ali did. Thank you Billy and that was a fantastic memory of Ali to always remember forever how Ali changed the world and brought us all together. Amen

I’m still watching this amazing tribute to the Champ in February 2024 by his little brother with so much heart felt gratitude and love ❤️ this was the greatest tribute of all times 🙏

Many will never fully understand what a great statement Billy made there that day. Perfect in content and masterful in delivery. From the heart, not read from a sheet of paper. I dont think anyone could have honored a man as well as I just witnessed here. God Bless both men.

Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends

Muhammad Ali is one of the greatest human that ever graced this planet. I MEAN THAT WITH EVERY FIBER IN MY BODY

How beautiful. A drop of proof that Peace can exist on earth. Let us look to our hearts. "Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth." --Muhammad Ali--

The genes are strong in that family, Ali's grandson sitting next to his wife is a spitting image of him...wow!! RIP Champ 👊

If there were a hall of hame for tributes, this is first ballot. Simply timeless, like the man for whom it was delivered.

One of the best beautiful eulogy ever heard... peace the champ

Years of laughter's yesterday,tears of laughter on that occasion to say good-bye to a phenomenal man and boxing hero, and heaven will be in for a treat.

At the very end, I couldnt control, and tears started to drop, out of love, respect and admiration to the greatest boxer who ever lived! Fantastically done Mr. Billy Crystal. A speech which I'd cherish every time I listen.

How can one not cry after listening to this beautiful tribute by Billy ❤️

what a fantastic tribute to the greatest sportsman the world has ever know

What a Tribute, some Eulogy, Billy Crystal is amazing, I don't think he wrote down a word, just from the heart. I hope some people in leadership of this Great United States of America take note. Thank you for posting this wonderful tribute to someone I & a lot òf kids my age growing up admired.

What a powerful speech from this lovely man. Muhammad Ali probably Cry In Heaven. RIP the greatest of all time👌👍❤

I usually watch this when I am down and out and need to be uplifted.

And I quote again:Life is best when you build bridges between people instead of walls. Thanks to you Ali for all the good you've done for all people. May you forever "Rest In Peace " and to you B. Crystal for your message as a friend.

No words to describe how great Ali was. The best part of me living in Miami Beach was not the ocean. It was the fact that Muhammad spent a lot of time there, and he first became famous there when he beat Sonny Liston. His morning road work was running from Overtown in Miami to Miami Beach, across the long bridge connecting the two cities. Every time I drove across that bridge, all I could think about was Ali. When he passed away the world lost its most famous man. As for Miami Beach, it was never the same after Muhammad. We adopted Ali and he became the biggest part of the city. Everything seems so empty without him.

I'm nobody just a fan of boxing all my life and Ive been lucky enough to have lived through the Ali era and even see him in a boxing exhibition. I loved the man, the standards he set set in boxing and life can never be equaled. He was THE GREATEST.
