"THE WORLD'S BIGGEST EGO IS COMIN' UP"

After a hard training session during his training camp for his second bout with Leon Spinks, Muhammad Ali takes a break to sit on the ring apron and address his adoring crowd in attendance.

Footage begins with Ali telling the crowd

"I ain't gonna call the round, but it will not go over 8. He will not hear the bell ring for 9, because he will be on his behind."

"I'm a poet, the only poet that's ever come to boxing. All boxers are trying to talk now. They don't wanna give me the credit. Boxing's on television, they watch boxing in Russia now, Philippines, Morocco, Czechoslovakia, Asia, Pakistan, the whole world watches boxing because of Muhammad Ali. I'm the Greatest of All-Times and I gotta blow my own horn because I'm so great, they don't understand how great I AM!"

"WORLDS BIGGEST EGO IS COMING UP. THIS FIGHT IS BIGGER THAN THE SUPER BOWL, THE KENTUCKY DERBY, WORLDWIDE! ANYTHING THAT YOU COULD PRODUCE, AMERICA HAS NOT YET PRODUCED AN E-VENT-THIS-BIG-WORLDWIDE, AND THE MAIN PARTICIPANT, WHO'S ME, WHO BUILT IT, YOU CAN COME TO MY CAMP, NO APPOINTMENTS, NO MONEY, JUST COME IN A SIT DOWN, THAT MAKES ME THE GREATEST OF ALL-TIME, ALL-TIME!"
