:07:04
Scared of what?
:07:08
How many fellas in here
picks George? Be truthful, be men.

:07:12
Tell the truth.
:07:13
- John, raise your hand.
- (Laughter)

:07:19
Got George?
:07:21
You got George. Tell the truth.
:07:23
You! You, fella. Yeah.
:07:25
No pick? I just wanna know.
You got George...

:07:31
The time may have come
to say goodbye to Muhammad Ali,

:07:34
because very honestly I don't think
he can beat George Foreman.

:07:39
Howard Cosell, you told everybody
I don't have a chance.

:07:43
Told 'em I don't have
nothing but a prayer.

:07:45
Well, chump, all I need is a prayer
because if that reaches the right man

:07:49
not only will George Foreman fall
but mountains will fall!

:07:53
Maybe he can pull off a miracle,
:07:55
but against George Foreman?
:07:57
So young, so strong, so fearless?
:08:00
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
