    I remember watching an Ali interview years ago, where someone was showing him footage of fighters like Louis, Johnson, and Dempsey.

    I can't seem to find it right now. Does anyone know where I can find this interview?

    It was broadcast back in 1975-1976 if I remember correctly on wide world of sports. Cosell was the host and he asked questions of Ali as he watched the past champions fight. He was impressed with Tunney and Tunney vs Dempsey. He had the highest praise for Marciano and was the only champion he felt could beat him. The video is on YouTube.

    Should have said USED to be on YouTube. I can't find it now. It was broadcast in 1976. Watched this live on a Saturday afternoon.

    Funny. This was from over a decade later than the earlier WWS program.
