Young Muslim: Everyone knows you as Muhammad Ali now. But there was a time when sports writers and presenters refused to recognize your Muslim name. How did you feel about this?
Muhammad Ali: I beat them up.
Young Muslim: In a fight against Ken Norton your jaw was "broken but you still fought a whole 12 rounds. In a fight against Sony Liston you were temporarily blinded in one eye and could barely see for an entire round, yet you still won. What keeps you going when the odds are stacked against you?
Muhammad Ali: [Makes the motions of doing Salat] Prayer.
Young Muslim: Who would you like to fight now?
Muhammad Ali: Joe Frazier
Lonnie Ali: Yep, that Ali-Frazier thing don't ever end, does it Muhammad?
[At this point in interview, Muhammad Ali falls asleep and starts snoring]
Lonnie Ali: Don't be offended. Because of his illness, he gets tired very easily and falls asleep. He also has flashbacks to the Frazier fight and starts punching in his sleep. [Muhammad Ali punches the air as he continues to snore. Suddenly, he lunges at me and shouts, "Boo!" I nearly fall out of my chair in surprise]
Shahin: You set me up
Lonnie Ali: Whenever he starts snoring, it's my cue to talk about his flashbacks to the Frazier fight. He did the same trick on the Sixty Minutes show.
Young Muslim:
What do you think of Tyson? If you were still fighting, could you beat him?
Muhammad Ali:
Easily.
Lonnie Ali: Tyson wouldn't dare go one round with Muhammad. And it wouldn't take but one to knock him out
