Beat him like I'm his daddy.
:04:04
I saw Sonny Liston a few days ago.
:04:06
Ain't he ugly?
:04:11
I'm young, I'm handsome,
:04:14
I'm fast, I'm pretty
and can't possibly be beat.

:04:17
(Commentator) Cassius Clay
goes into the record book

:04:20
with Corbett, Tunney and Braddock,
:04:23
bringing off another great upset
in heavyweight history.

:04:27
(Ali) It is befitting that I leave
the game just like I came in,

:04:31
beating a big bad monster
who knocks out everybody

:04:35
and no one can whup him.
:04:37
When little Cassius Clay
stopped Sonny Liston,

:04:40
the man who annihilated
Floyd Patterson twice.

:04:43
He was gonna kill me!
:04:45
But he hit harder than George.
:04:47
His reach is longer,
he's a better boxer

:04:50
and I'm better now than when you saw
that kid running from Sonny Liston.

:04:55
I'm experienced now, professional.
:04:57
Jaw's been broke, been knocked down
a couple of times, I'm bad!

:05:02
Been chopping trees,
I done something new.

:05:05
- I wrestled with an alligator.
- (Laughter)

:05:08
That's right,
I have wrestled with an alligator!

:05:11
I tussled with a whale. I handcuffed
lightning, thrown thunder in jail!

:05:16
That's bad!
Only last week I murdered a rock!

:05:20
Injured a stone!
Hospitalised a brick!

:05:24
- I'm so mean I make medicine sick!
- Bad dude!

:05:27
Bad, fast!
:05:29
Fast! Fast! Last night,
cut the light off in my bedroom,

:05:32
hit the switch and was in the bed
before the room was dark!

:05:35
- Incredible.
- Fast!

:05:37
You, George Foreman, all you chumps
are gonna bow when I whup him!

:05:41
All of you! I know you got him picked
but the man's in trouble!

:05:46
I'm gonna show you how great I am!
:05:48
I think Ali was scared.
I think he was scared even then.

:05:52
He knew he was gonna be very scared
as he got closer to the fight.

:05:55
You know the way George fights.
:05:58
George comes out...
"I made him the mummy!"
