00:00Last time I spoke with him on the telephone, I asked him, I said, uh, man, I want a rematch. He quietly said, you're crazy.
00:13Well, Mohammed is a hero. Once you become a hero, you're never sad for a hero.
00:18You're really proud that they took their stand, the stands he'd taken. I'm really proud of him.
00:30Yeah, that was something special. It was a special time for boxing, and I really miss all that excitement in the heavyweight division.
00:40It's not there, but there's hope that around the corner, we're going to have another champion.
00:45The heavyweight champion of the world, Mohammed Ali!
00:52When you're boxing, you're so competitive, you're so jealous. Then afterwards, you realize, hey, we have too much in common.
00:59We're both heavyweight champion of the world, got lots of children. Why can't we be the best of friends?
01:05I shook up the world! I shook up the world! I shook up the world!
01:10I think in the 10 years that I was out of boxing, we became very close, good friends. As a matter of fact, he's that brother that I always wanted.
01:19You would take him anywhere, because he used to talk so much, I wouldn't take him fishing.
01:24But he was a real fun guy, comical, probably the most fun guy I've ever met, Mohammed Ali.
