The ignorance of this comment is impressive.
RightRev
Mr. Ali was a badddd man.
mastertmo
Nowhere does this answer the question: Did he ever call him Muhammed Ali?
jraef
Eventually they became friends and Ali even helped set up a "rematch" years later to help Patterson pay an IRS debt.
DarkSock
My first haiku I ever composed was: “I am gaseous/ in my assius, like Clay / that is Cassius”. Thank you for attending my TED talk.
So apparently haikus aren’t required to rhyme…
sundaymondayhippyday
Is that why he changed his name? Brilliant Haiku
Sonicdahedgie
Wait, is this where the "Say my name" line of shit talking stems from? Cause people saying it to be tough always seemed werd to me
DenounceAll
It’s such a shame we were deprived of so many years of this man’s brilliance and way with words because of his boxing career.

Waytigo
Yeah you tell that turd who’s boss!
KaijuMcCitysmash
Ali was one of the few who could actually back up all of his mad shit talk
TwoStupidDogs
One of the few who played the bad and wasn’t -actually- a bad guy. Still the GOAT imho
ILikedTheirOldStuffBetter
Yeah so many have tried to emulate him, no one has ever been able to do it as well.
noelco
What makes a fighter the GOAT? What he does outside the ring or cage, as well as inside. Ali was the GOAT. Tyson is a bum compared to Ali.
Wellshiet
Why the need for comparison and degrading name calling? Tyson loved Ali to death.
TheAngryMarineBiologist
Pretty sure Tyson never spoke at KKK rallies, called for black men to be killed for miscegenation or was called the 'Champion of
Segregation' by Martin Luther King, but y'know, you do you. 2/2
SoMuchPooPooSon
Whats done outside the ring is irrelevant to who is the best fighter. "Who fights best?" "Oh, the guy that does a lot outside the ring." LOL
Didn't drop it tg .
VonZinzer
Chills. I remember watching this live.
cantcornerthewarner
A very prolific troll and racist of the 20th century
People downvoting this, do you have a response to Ali saying “A black man should be killed if he’s messing with a white woman,” in a 1/?
Playboy interview, or his other similar views he routinely professed as a member of the Nation of Islam? 2/2
What do they have to say about Ali calling Joe Frazier an Uncle Tom?
It's funny people downvote me because its true. Did you know Ali spoke at a Klan rally and supported segregation?
Not sure why you're being downvoted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAEVt8P9MJc&ab_channel=FredCarson

What s cassius clay?
sodalis
That was his name until he converted to Islam. He won his Olympic medals under his old name.
Raoin
That was Mohammed Ali's birth name before he converted to Islam.
happyguide
Nation of Islam, which is not Islam. It’s a cult led by Louis Farrakhan and SPLC accuses of being a black nationalist hate group.
They believe that white people are orcs invented by a black wizard long ago. They’re the source of a lot of Sovereign Citizen activists.
True, but I understand the appeal for Ali and Malcom X. First time in theirs lives they probably heard that they where the superior race.
TELunus

I would watch that movie
YouWillNeverFindMe
Was this soon after he changed his name?
PoliticalWanderer
A couple of years afterward. He changed his name at the start of 64, this fight (with Ernie Terrell) was in 66 or 67, IIRC.
fistermatic5000
TBFFFFFFF, I still think 20 years ago is the 80s.
That was Floyd Patterson. Patterson always made a point of calling Ali by his former name. He was unabashedly anti Muslim.
That came up with Patterson too (which broke Ali’s heart a bit because Patterson was one of his boyhood heroes) but this is Ernie Terrell. 1
For one thing, Patterson was a lot shorter than Ali. And it was Terrell that Ali famously berated with “What’s my name” 2
MikeReese9
True. I knew this before I saw it in the video...I know some of Terrell's family.
ligmabolz
Wait. Why did he change his name. I thought that it was his name since birth
HighrockTendales
How many black guys from Kentucky do you know called Muhammad Ali? : )
forgotiwasfine
Black Americans who were enslaved had to take/were given their master’s last names.Lots of people changed them. Freeman was popular 4 awhile
ClifSkaylor
OK, can we talk about Lew Alcindor now?
Kim8them
This is new for me. Not American, was it a controversial move too?

He won his gold medal as Cassius, then changed his name when he became a Muslim.
periodinyourbloodymarycanruinagooddate
The Clay name came from his ancestor's slave owner. I see why he would rid himself of that.
Born Cassius Marcellus Clay, changed it first (very briefly) to Muhammad X and then Muhammad Ali after converted to Islam by Malcolm X.
He was born Cassius Clay
Son of Cassius Marcellus Clay Sr.; who was named in honor of the Kentucky abolitionist politician, MajGen. Cassius Marcellus Clay.
hammockstain
His momma call him clay imma call him clay
I would probably take some time remembering if a long time friend changed their name, someone I've never met would be easy

StuckInBetweeen

It’s a cult led by Louis Farrakhan that the SPLC accuses of being a black nationalist hate group.
That I did not know. Thanks for the info
He changed from the Nation of Islam long before his death. Before he event retired. He was stuck in a cult for awhile in his 20s.
nobodiesbusiness
Oh boy someone needs to learn some black history I think. This relates directly to Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam
Lol why are people downvoting me for saying this guy should learn? You all have something against educating yourself or are you just racist?
Kmmille2
Because the person is trying to educate themselves, and your response is condescending and rude.
If this is considered rude I’m concerned how you respond to 99% of the rest of the internet
mardukkur
The Autobiography of Malcolm X is a fascinating book and a great read.
scoutMoonDiver
Yes, it is! That book made me cry.
I mean, we don't learn about Ali in schools here in Europe, perhaps some but it's not standard curriculum. How much do you learn about
No we didn't. Why would we learn about celebrities or athletes
Europe and European people in America?
