Against George Foreman,
who does away with his opponents
:08:04
one after another
in less than three rounds?
:08:07
It's hard for me
to conjure with that.
:08:10
You always say "Muhammad, you're not
the same man you were 10 years ago."
:08:14
I asked your wife
:08:15
and she told me you're not the same
man you was two years ago!
:08:18
After this fight
I suspect Ali will retire.
:08:23
And through all of the years
:08:25
my own memories of him
will be as a fighter,
:08:29
and as the strange and curious
and gregarious and engaging
:08:34
and sometimes cruel,
and sometimes family man that he is.
:08:40
I'm gonna let everybody know
that that thing on your head
:08:44
is a phoney
and it comes from the tail of a pony.
:08:47
A stolen bicycle.
:08:49
He had a bicycle
and he went to Columbia Gym.
:08:53
There was something going on up there
and he left his bike parked outside.
:08:58
So when he came out
someone had stolen it
:09:00
and he went inside and he was crying
:09:03
and he told the policeman there,
his name was Joe Martin,
:09:07
that someone stole his bike.
:09:09
And Joe Martin, he also taught the
little boys how to box in the evening
:09:14
so he asked would he be interested
in learning how to box
:09:18
and he told him yes, because if he
ever found out who stole his bike
:09:22
he wanted to know how to fight
so he could beat them up.
:09:26
(Commentator) An overhand right
sends Sonny to the canvas!
:09:29
Referee Jersey Joe Walcott is trying
to get Ali to a neutral corner.
:09:33
Ali yelling at Liston to get up...
:09:35
- Anchor punch.
- Which fight?
:09:38
I call it the anchor punch.
:09:40
- The one Stepin Fetchit helped with?
- Yeah, man.
:09:45
People couldn't see it,
:09:46
it was so fast Sports Illustrated
got a slow-motion camera,
:09:51
they clocked the punch and the punch
flew at 4/100ths of a second.
:09:55
You can break a second
down to 100 pieces.
:09:57
When people win a ski race
they say one and 16/100ths,
