You Tube Gold: When Elvis And Ali Met

Related Topics: Elvis Presley

If you look long enough, You Tube always delivers and this time, it has a fun surprise: the first time Elvis Presley and Muhammad Ali met.

Elvis of course grew up in Memphis while Ali grew up in Louisville. Elvis was about seven years older but as it turns out they both admired each other. Ali actually called Elvis “the greatest,” which of course was what he always called himself.

The best part of the story though is that Elvis at one point jumped up in a karate stance and Ali got in a boxing stance - and then Elvis put him on the floor.
