why do you think somebody still knows that thrilla in manila? >> well, first it rhymes, but second the velocity of that fight, it represented the best of both two fearless men, when you think of ali, fearless is probably the first thing that comes to his mind. especially during the 70s, that was a ferocious time in heavy weight boxing, the man being banned for almost four years was just incredible, but he was fearless in the ring as well, the sacrifices he made in the 60s and 70s are sacrifices we really cannot -- we know the sacrifices we make, but can't understand the depth of the risks. >> time and time again. thank you. >> be sure to tune in at 8:00 tonight, 1974 it is about a david and go lialiath story. and cash back for driving safe. and the power to automatically find your car... i see you car! and i got the power to know who's coming and when if i break down. ...you must be gerry. hey... in means getting more from your car insurance with the all-powerful drivewise app. it's good to be in, good hands. will your business be ready when gro

thrilla in manila. i bet you you've heard of those fights even if you don't know what those fights were or represented or why they were so important and special. you've probably heard of those fights. he just did it with such style, and as you say, with such conviction. and it is a tragedy, really, that we haven't seen the best of him for the last 32 years. i think he had the potential to be so much more. the people who went to cover the fight in zaire, the rumble in the jungle, the they they revered him and fed off him. they said this guy is a political figure. this could be his second career. i think he had so many of his own challenges once he was diagnosed with parkinson's that was never going to be a factor, but he was really a rebel with a cause. he did so much good. >> don riddell, stay with us. we've got so much more. i want to talk about what's happening outside the hop where members of ali's family is. dan simon is there outside the hospital and he joins us now. hi, there, dan. >>> hi, robyn a
