1:01:03

They tryin' to draft me in the army?
You know about this?

1:01:06

Okay, here we go.

1:01:08

All right, all right.
Hey, I got to go.

1:01:16

They started runnin'.

1:01:20

You know, so I went down there,
I did everything I was supposed to do...

1:01:20

You know, so I went down there,
I did everything I was supposed to do...

1:01:23

and I flunked
their draft board test.

1:01:25

Then without testing me again,
to see ifl'm anywiser orworser...

1:01:29

they decide
I can go in the army?

1:01:32

- Cassius, in my opinion--
- My name ain't Cassius Clay.

1:01:34

That is a slave name,
and I am a free man.

1:01:37

I am Muhammad Ali.

1:01:38

You know, I apologize.
I apologize toyou on the air.

1:01:44

Your name is Muhammad Ali.

1:01:46

You have a right to be called
whateveryou want.

1:01:48

I apologize toyou.

1:01:50

You sure make a lot ofmistakes
for a so-called educated man.

1:01:54

- You reallywent to law school?
- Yes, Muhammad.

1:01:56

And to think I gave up a lucrative
practice for the likes ofyou.

1:02:00

I'm the best thing
ever happened toyou, Cosell.

1:02:02

Without me, you'd be a tall white man
with a microphone in his mouth.

1:02:06

And without me,
you'd be a mouth.

1:02:16

We'll be right back.

1:02:20

- You want some food for that thing?
- How could you do such a thing?

1:02:23

- 'Cause it's funny.
- To someoneyou revere.

1:02:26

- That thing almost bit my finger off.
- Mr. Bundini...

1:02:29

I'm glad you were here
to witness this-- this assault.

1:02:36

Have a little coffee
with your sugar.

1:02:43

They're coming afteryou...

1:02:45

because they're scared of
black militancy in the inner cities.

1:02:50

I ain't no H. Rap Brown.
I ain't no Stokely Carmichael.

1:02:54

All they are is political.

1:02:56

You're the heavyweight
champion ofthe world.
