Muhammad Ali – Be Courageous – Motivational Video
there’s a world champion boxer on
basketball player track star hearts team
animals I find out that this Mark Spitz
for an example he’s a world champion but
what made him the world champion was
that he seemed to at the right time when
the pressures down at the last few yards
he can get that lead he’s got enough
left a million I found Ken Norton our
last fight if I was even up in the last
round but I had something he didn’t have
all our much older that was the last
minute kick what’s that last minute kick
is that sometimes the stamina the
strength more than training the mental
capacity mental composure realize what’s
involved and my partner is making by to
do something is really too tired and do
you mind makes you do it Mark Spitz the
Seoul Olympic track star was mentioning
he wasn’t that much greater than all the
people in the world was some time he won
by just that much and a champion is just
one who can come out at the last minute
and the coals are show as I say the star
close to show a 1415 round fight and
there’s even and that usually this
champion you can depend on him to come
to it the last few seconds and find some
discipline not only that it’s mental and
physical give or his body’s in physical
shape to do it plus mentally – he’s got
a self in condition where both fellows
maybe sometimes the wheel can outdo the
skill and sometimes a fellas wheel is
stronger than the man who was actually
better physically and the determination
and weakens the other man just to see
him so determine Hardy hits the world
has been deceived you listen to me now
I’ve never told you wrong the man don’t
hit hard he knocked Joe Frazier down six
time he got up six times Joe King Roman
is Tokyo Japan fight the Porto Rican
champion
knocking down three times he jumped up
three times he knocked Kidd Norton down
four times he jumped up four times one
of you ever saw the man say seven
910 canada’s man out when I hit sunny
listen to the sacrum fight he stayed off
the count of 10 saw a foliage stayed off
from the count of 10 Cleveland Williams
staring for the count of 10 what do I
have knocked out stay down Sugar Ray
Robinson knocked him out for counter 30
Joe Lewis Marciano Jack Dempsey Jack
Johnson Archie Moore as a child they
knock him out cold so this man has never
not nobody else cold he’s a bully he
slowed he has no skill no footwork he’s
awkward and I had been gave him him a
name a name for our Patterson the rabbit
I named Sonny Liston the bear and he
shall be known as officially as The
Mummy because he fights when he’s
fighting if you ever watch him in the
rain he he he he drags like that after
his opponent and has a mummy gonna catch
me when you’re fighting a mummy you just
keep a step ahead of the money just move
on my mummy not mummy I’m over here
now are you moving too fast the mommy
don’t move ever you ever get frightened
before a fight you’re getting nervous
and I’m nervous we’re not frightened
I’ve been I’m nervous because I have a
great insight I just don’t see the
audience every camera
I see millions of people like the Fraser
fight was watched by ten hundred million
people which is five times the
population of everybody in the United
States just a picture of Rina with 1
million people I met you couldn’t see
them all and just think about 100
million and ten hundred million and all
those people and everything that makes
me nervous just the idea of me just
better humble fellows and Kentucky got
lucky in sports and now here’s the house
the fight was piked in a place like
Thailand to the government house and
Arabia and the government officials took
time off to watch the fight just about
two men boxing tracking so many people
of all races and nationalities and how
why he understand they they stopped
closed all the factories and the people
they said televisions on every street
corner people came out watching them
fight on the streets and every bar in
America every every house though the
traffic was still doing that fight in
Madison Square Garden 10,000 people
couldn’t get in and just over one man
and just imagine all the people watching
you that makes me nervous until I get
started and then never nervous go I’m
thinking it’s so superior and my
knowledge is so positive and my logic so
wise until it clashes with the mentality
which is down here and I’m both there
by me being so high I can see more and
see father knew and you’re looking at
mrs. Holly and you want a job making six
to seven pounds a week never gonna have
the country not known in his own
neighborhood Ali don’t do it but I’m in
such a high level until I don’t think
with you I’m not like you I’m not saying
you I mean that on your person but
you’re not but you know why they say
that that makes for the best possible
reason so they have fear and they are
wearing looks looks dangerous to them
that’s not really the danger to me no
problem this will be the biggest upset
since Sonny Liston and I think it is
befitting that I go out of boxing just
like I came in defeating a big bad
monster that nobody could destroy a hard
punch I’m the underdog if he hits me I’m
in trouble like Sonny Liston fight I
came back and I shook the world and I
got listed as ten years since Sonny
Liston I’m meeting another big bad
strong monster knockout honesty beats
everybody something mr. knocked out
Patterson price and I was opposed all
they’re hard but he couldn’t find me yet
George Foreman dr. Ken naughty knocked
out Joe Frazier true I didn’t knock him
out but I’m so fast and so hard here I’m
so scientific I’m a totally different
man from Frazier Laurie listen David
when I meet this man if you think the
world was surprised when Nixon resigned
wait till I quit falling behind
I’m telling you David I’m down to two
hundred and fifteen pounds right now
said it went to 15 I’m fighting weight
already I used to train six weeks for
fight I’ve trained for months for fight
I’m chopping trees I’ve done something
special I’ve wrestled with an alligator
tussled with a whale out of handcuffed
lightning throw thunder in jail now you
know I’m bad on the last week I murdered
a rock into the stone hospitalized a
brick I’m so mean I make medicine
safepoint one minute like this people
say what’s gonna happen you meet Joe
Frazier again here’s how the fights will
sound on the radio for those who can’t
afford to buy the expensive theater
seats and the fight goes like this
Dean Ali comes out to meet Frazier but
Frazier starts to retreat if Frazier
goes back an inch father you’ll wind up
in a ringside seat how these swings will
lap all these swings are the right look
at the kid carry the fight Fraser keeps
backing but there’s not enough room it’s
a matter of time there are laws the
bloom now Lina answer the right
what a beautiful swing and the post
Willis Frazier clean out of the range
for Asia still risin but the referee was
a frown for he can start counting till
Frazier comes back now Frazier
disappears from view the crowd is
getting frantic but I radar stations
have picked him up he’s somewhere over
the Atlantic who would have thought when
they came to the fight that they would
witness the luncheon of a colored
satellite I don’t pay no attention to
what they say about me all I do is just
do what I have to do and get paid and
that’s it but I don’t really pay no
attention to the rules of boxing I don’t
pay no attention I defy all the rules I
define I’ve added pages to the book of
boxes I have this game is such a thing
now until boxing promoters can no longer
afford my shows I have governments like
Iran ready to put up ten million for me
to fight Joe Frazier
I have governments like Cairo regio we
only put up six million with people like
Ron Lyle I have countries all like all
back to your desire talking to my Bhutto
he wants him back again they put up five
more million for retirement for me when
we talk about ten million and six
million and four million this is
unbelievable and they don’t expect to
get the money back they’re promoting
their countries and their ideals so I’m
like cells so in this sport of boxing
until Madison Square Garden is too small
Yankee Stadium is too small the Houston
Astrodome the biggest promoters in the
wealth is Americans and Englishman’s you
can get for promotions cannot just
promote me no more you understand so
I’ve not only added pages to boxing but
added new sections to the boxing book
goodbye Dan stop talking now attention I
told you all of my critics I told you
all that I was the greatest of all time
beats under listen I told you today I’m
still the greatest of all time never
again defeat me never again say that I’m
gonna be defeated never again that make
me then the dog until I’m about 50 years
old then you might get me but I didn’t
dance I didn’t dance for a reason
I wanted to make him lose all his power
I kept telling me he had no punch he
couldn’t hit he’s swinging like a sissy
he’s missing
let me see you box I hadn’t started
dancing yet you can’t say my legs are
going you can’t L was tired because what
happened I didn’t dance from the second
round on I stayed on the ropes when I
stay on the ropes you think I’m doing
bad but I want to all boxers to put this
on the page about to stay in our homes
is a beautiful thing with a heavyweight
when you make him shoot his best shots
and you know he’s not hitting you I will
gave jobs for him a two rounds a steady
punching because that today he was mine
I want to say something right here you
all might this might make your old faith
life is not really long let’s say there
is person thirty years old
if you thirty years old you enough at
about seven years old how can I prove it
and I’ve all the seven eight nine hours
you slept for 30 years
out of 30 years out of all the nights
last night when you went to bed and woke
up this morning you don’t remember a
thing you’ve been unconscious for about
eight years if you’re 30 years old you
step out eight years okay how much
traveling have you done in 30 years the
television station to home to another
country to another city to school to
church you’ve probably traveled to years
your life will spin just getting back
and forth to where you going so there’s
eight years of sleep in two years of
traveling there’s 30 years out of your
life before you accomplish anything
how long do you sit in school in America
we stay in school from the 12th grade to
from the first grade to 12th grade same
here yeah virtually six hours a day yeah
six hours a day for 12 years break it
down you set in the classroom for three
years without leaving okay two years of
traveling eight years of sleeping three
years of school how many movies if you
went to how many rascal matches how much
entertainment
how many movie theatres live plays
baseball games
probably two years of entertainment so
by the time of man you all the people
norm bear with us I’m saying but the
time here have children by the time you
have made a way for your children by the
time you’ve paid for your home you
pushing 60 years old so life is real
short you know I’m sure Henry I’ll tell
you anything vital
the knows what’s happening you really
can’t plan to fight it when you meet the
man you’ve never met before right you
just have to get your tools ready here’s
a car stops on the highway they call a
triple-a or whatever and said my car’s
broke down what is it lady she don’t
know us but well the man comes with all
the tools and he come equipped to handle
whatever the problem is a astronaut goes
into space and he pretends that
something happens to just ship before he
take off he gets out and he works on it
he’s not looking for something happen
but it might happen so I didn’t I just
had everything ready now after the first
round been here with a top professional
a man so great had so many knockouts and
I’ve been defeated never even scratched
I didn’t know really how good he was so
I had to come in after a little nervous
and with everything ready after one
round of deaths and I found out that
this would tire me out so I would have
to resort to ropes I figured that out
after the first round so I said I’m
gonna go to these ropes and I’m gonna
this man threw everything he can’t let
me tie myself out it might look like
he’s winning
and if you don’t hurt him we’ll stay
here but if he should be as great as
they say he is if he hits as hard as
they say he hit when he hits him breaks
your arm he knocked out Joe Frazier I
couldn’t do it knocked out Ken Norton he
was a big bad job before the fight you
remember and they remember that don’t
you yeah
they don’t see that never he was a real
bad catch of the day right don’t forget
that now after I found out he didn’t
have it
I stayed there but if he had had what I
thought he had had and what they said in
here I’d have kept running hoping I
wouldn’t get tired
