I admired him for his integrity. He quietly expressed his beliefs. And I like the respect Carson showed him. Two greats.

A champion ADMIRED and Loved around the world. 👌👍👏

Love love love Mohammed Ali. My brother introduced me to boxing when I was very young. I loved it. Mohammed Ali was my idol! I'm female btw. 62

Muhammad Ali and Bob Foster fought "8 days" later on November 21, 1972, in Stateline, Nevada. Ali won by knockout in the "8th round" as he had predicted here with Johnny.

Maybe I've watched too many gangster movies but to have gone down in the 8th as Ali predicted sure stinks of a fix.

Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, I'm the baddest and the meanest. I'm Muhammad Ali! 🥊 🥊

The interviewer kept asking about his age and he got fed up and clapped back with class lol. Gotta love the dude

Respect each other and...i mean this man was the greatest of all time...and everything he said respect in peace Mohammed ali

God bless you Muhammad Ali Clay اللهم🙏 ارحمه برحمتك الواسعه وادخله فسيح جناتك وجازيه بالاحسان احسانا وبالسيئات عفوا وغفرانا 🏆🥊🥊

What quality film from that time, and great subject of course

Loveed the GOAT. We miss you sir.

Close Circuit.....WOW!

The fact that Johnny was Christian background he still gave Ali his flowers when Ali said all that about lifting ppl up morally and spiritually knowing he was an outspoken muslim. Carson didn't say well u and so n so Christian pastor tv evangelists that scream at the camera for money, he said Ali is more qualified than any other to do that. That was the reverence Ali was given by fellow celebrities Carson arguably being as big as any of them. There isn't a single entertainer today where we can say the same about.

Big FACTS!!!! And thank you for your words of enlightenment..

I am happy that Johnny never had to see today’s world. He would be horrified by how horrible things are in the U.S. these days

Johnny Carson your grey straight plaided suit is very flawless, one day I'm wearing suits from Apollo King to make it like your 1970's suits.

Muhammad very easy going and laid back here.

I didn't realize that Ed McMahon was HUGE! Ali was 6'3"!

Smokin’ Joe was due to meet George Foreman. The rest is history.

I want some Lipton Cup-A-Soup!!

Ali found out later about his money. On how much little he had left.

Good points 👍

Ali was heading there too, he had a big entourage, he boxed for too long, he could've ended up broke, but he must've had someone really smart in his corner as he got older, because he made some lucrative deals eventually. He didn't die broke. After all, he made the name Muhammad Ali known worldwide, of course that alone was bankable.

Famous saying from Dr. John Bridges, year 1587; "A Fool and his money are soon parted"

Rise up workers

This is after Carson moved to LA.

Probably the greatest of all time. Unfortunately he fought too long, and because of his style, like the rope a dope, took way too many shots and he suffered because of it

Lift each other

For such a large man, Ali is barely audible. I had to adjust the volume.

He did look uncomfortable, something was probably bothering him I believe Don King was on his mind

He was known as Cassius Clay! Was his real name back in the 50's and 60's before he converted to Muslim. He always had a big persona or personality. But that's for show and wasn't the real him. Great interview! @johnny carson please upload the Full show of this and others. I think I have this episode already on dvd.

Ali had a quiet side to him, I seen this in a few interviews. I believe Ali said he first noticed a slight slurring in his speech in 74. here he seemed more tired and reserved.

Some people say boxes aren’t too bright but he was smart enough to become a mail order preacher to duck the Vietnam war, which is more than a lot of the educated white teen boys did. He made a lot of money and he lost a lot of money but in the end he didn’t even know what money was.🥊

He converted to Islam, which is really good for him, and by the way: of course his name was not Muhammad before he converted to Islam.

Bullshit.

I did not think much of muhammad ali he would fight for money but not for his country.
