1
00:00:05,818 --> 00:00:09,380
He would come to the gym and if he didn't get a ride to the gym,

2
00:00:09,380 --> 00:00:11,259
he didn't have no car,

3
00:00:11,259 --> 00:00:12,227
he would run.

4
00:00:12,227 --> 00:00:16,795
He would run across the causeway.

5
00:00:16,795 --> 00:00:17,794
Mohammed Ali,

6
00:00:17,794 --> 00:00:19,696
one of my great heroes,

7
00:00:19,696 --> 00:00:22,080
had a great line in the ’70s when he was asked,

8
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:23,956
“How many sit-ups do you do?”

9
00:00:23,956 --> 00:00:27,656
He said, “I don’t count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting.

10
00:00:27,656 --> 00:00:31,957
When I feel pain, that’s when I start counting, because that’s when it really counts.”

11
00:00:31,957 --> 00:00:34,757
That’s what makes you a champion.

12
00:00:34,757 --> 00:00:36,987
Jerry, I'm the greatest fighter that ever stepped foot in the ring.

13
00:00:36,987 --> 00:00:38,321
Money will be lost that night.

14
00:00:38,321 --> 00:00:41,887
This will be the biggest upset in the century of all boxing.

15
00:00:41,887 --> 00:00:43,727
I think you're a big bag of wind.

16
00:00:43,727 --> 00:00:46,986
The damnedest showman that ever lived, and you ain't kidding anybody.

17
00:00:46,986 --> 00:00:48,349
The odds were 7-to-1.

18
00:00:48,349 --> 00:00:50,608
It's very big odds...

19
00:00:50,608 --> 00:00:52,349
for a heavyweight championship fight.

20
00:00:52,349 --> 00:00:53,324
It has to be Liston.

21
00:00:53,324 --> 00:00:54,989
Liston is a much bigger puncher.

22
00:00:54,989 --> 00:00:58,412
Where all these bigmouth people talking about I talk too much

23
00:00:58,412 --> 00:01:03,298
Well, I want all of them to be there. And I'm gonna shut up all of you's mouths.

24
00:01:03,298 --> 00:01:06,292
And Cassius Clay has won out of six-round...

25
00:01:06,292 --> 00:01:08,410
Cassius is not my name no more.

26
00:01:08,410 --> 00:01:10,881
So you want to keep calling me a white man's name. I'm not white.

27
00:01:10,881 --> 00:01:13,189
Ali continues to scream at Terrell.

28
00:01:13,189 --> 00:01:16,579
He beat the hell out of those who didn't want to use his name.

29
00:01:16,579 --> 00:01:19,726
Mr. Muhammad Ali has just refused to be inducted...

30
00:01:19,726 --> 00:01:21,696
into the United States Armed Forces.

31
00:01:21,696 --> 00:01:23,318
I'm just about broke.

32
00:01:23,318 --> 00:01:26,196
I'm not allowed to work here now in America.

33
00:01:26,196 --> 00:01:27,503
I'm gonna fight,

34
00:01:27,503 --> 00:01:28,697
not for me

35
00:01:28,697 --> 00:01:33,889
but to uplift my little brothers who are sleeping concrete floors today in America.

36
00:01:33,889 --> 00:01:40,125
He wanted to become famous to help people. It's wonderful...

37
00:01:40,125 --> 00:01:41,702
I'm gonna float like a butterfly

38
00:01:41,702 --> 00:01:43,170
and sting like a bee.

39
00:01:43,170 --> 00:01:45,942
George can't hit what his eyes can't see.

40
00:01:45,942 --> 00:01:48,488
All you chumps are gonna bow when I whoop him,

41
00:01:48,488 --> 00:01:51,549
all of you, I know you got him, I know you've got him picked,

42
00:01:51,549 --> 00:01:52,850
but the man's in trouble,

43
00:01:52,850 --> 00:01:54,918
I'ma show you how great I am

44
00:01:54,918 --> 00:01:56,320
I bluffed him, I'd done everything.

45
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,095
Beat him up,

46
00:01:57,095 --> 00:01:59,488
basically for about five or six rounds.

47
00:01:59,488 --> 00:02:00,631
I thought it was easy.

48
00:02:00,631 --> 00:02:02,023
Then about the sixth round

49
00:02:02,023 --> 00:02:05,052
he whispered in my ear, after I'd hit him in the side,

50
00:02:05,052 --> 00:02:10,171
"That all you got, George?"

51
00:02:10,171 --> 00:02:12,048
And never talk about who's gonna stop me.

52
00:02:12,048 --> 00:02:16,728
Ain't nobody gonna stop me.

53
00:02:16,728 --> 00:02:17,942
I must be the greatest.

54
00:02:17,942 --> 00:02:19,157
I shook up the world.

55
00:02:19,157 --> 00:02:20,382
I shook up the world.

56
00:02:20,382 --> 00:02:26,005
I told you all, all of my critics,

57
00:02:26,005 --> 00:02:29,727
that I was the greatest of all time.

58
00:02:29,727 --> 00:03:06,227
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

59
00:03:06,227 --> 00:03:09,310
When you're a kid, you always bet some fellas, "I'm gonna be champion one day,

60
00:03:09,310 --> 00:03:12,175
and when I'm champion, I'm gonna come down and show you I'm wrong."

61
00:03:12,175 --> 00:03:14,413
And then I say, "Guys, I'm gonna be a great doctor one day"

62
00:03:14,413 --> 00:03:17,067
and I'm gonna be a dentist. I'm gonna be a great scientist."

63
00:03:17,067 --> 00:03:18,956
"I'm gonna be the President of the country."

64
00:03:18,956 --> 00:03:21,471
And there are very few people actually

65
00:03:21,471 --> 00:03:24,457
are able to make good of the boasts and come home and say,

66
00:03:24,457 --> 00:03:28,196
"I told you."
