Muhammad Ali, Howard Cosell And Uncle Tom

ALI READS A PRE-FIGHT POEM TO HIS OPPONENT

Very cool footage from 1967 as Howard Cosell asks Muhammad Ali to read a poem to his upcoming opponent Ernie Terrell. The situation takes a decided turn for the worse at 2:04 when Terrell calls Ali by his birth name Cassius Clay. Cosell keeps his cool but the fighters do not. This was a real thing.
