@louco1965 He got diagnosed in 1984, they werent that advanced at that time. He first suffered early parkinsons in 1977 and then it built up slowly, he was also overweight bc of those symptoms.
@louco1965 his fight doctor, Ferdie Pacheco did advise him to retire in 1975 after the Thrilla in Manila. However, I'm assuming Ali's staff convinced him he would not be The Greatest if he retired.
He was 8 years past his prime at this point. This fight should have never happened. The effects of boxing and Parkinson's are quite evident but so many people leeched off of him and Ali had made a lot of horrible financial mistakes as well that drove him back into the ring. RIP Champ!
@@tabo01Ali’s prime was in 66-67 back when he fought Cleveland Williams. He actually spent a lot of his prime years unable to box due to being stripped for dodging the draft.

What’s crazy is he actually sounds relatively clear here, just a few months later once he started sparring again you can barley make out what he says in interviews.
@@rasulsamad5860 I doubt it. Ali’s speech clarity fluctuated I’m quality in between fights later in his career. He was absorbing a tremendous amount of punishment in the twilight years but it’s possible.
that is strange, he slurs in many interviews before this and even just before the fight. I'm sure being energized and not being tired and mood can effect that but he sounds pretty good here. Personally, I always thought the Holmes fight was the one that really sealed his fate as far as damage but who's to say. Boxers go through years seeming normal only to end up with major problems in old age. It's always seemed the damage seems to really show up as the person ages. George Chuvalo, Joe Bugner were speaking clearly a decade ago, I hear they are both having problems at the present time.
No debió pelear más después que se retiró. Ya los reflejos no estaban ni la velocidad de manos. Fué inhumano hacerle pelear a Alí contra Larry Holmes. Alí ya tenía Parkinson post traumático.

@@TheWavy87 nobody MADE ali come back , but i think the ones that sanctioned the fight and allowed it to happen should be locked up. Ali wasn't walking or talking the same, he was failing medical tests etc. It was clear as a bell that he was sick

There were recent studies showing that Ali already had early parkinsons symptoms in 1977. Evidence speech problems, slower movement, facial appearance changed slowly over the years
If only John Tate had lasted another 2 minutes of that 15 th round against Mike Weaver we would have seen Ali vs Tate . Even though Ali was not the same fighter anymore , I believe he still had enough left to beat Tate at this point and become 4 time heavyweight champ . When you compare the two Trevor Berbick fights , Tate was knocked out by Berbick in 1980 while Ali took Berbick the distance in 1981 . The Holmes fight was a mistake for Ali and should have never happened , Holmes was the best heavyweight in the world at that time . I think Ali should have retired after Manila against Frazier in 1975 , and his Parkinson started around the time he fought Shavers in 1977 . But you couldn't tell Ali to stop fighting he was the GOAT !
Sorry, but Tate would have destroyed Ali at that point. Tate was a much better boxer than Berbick and had Weaver beat handily before getting decked in round 15
@@dondajulah4168 I can only guess you never saw Tate vs Berbick in 1980 ? Watch it on TH-cam ,Tate was knocked out laying flat on his face same as he was against Weaver only this time in round 9 . Berbick was better then Tate ?
If there was anyone that watched autopsy when they did Ali in March of 2017 they would know Ali had been secretly going to the doctor since 1972 complaining about issues in his head that he felt affectedhis balance. he had taken x-rays and back then they saw nothing wrong with the x-rays and sent Ali home but the autopsy doctor said on Modern equipment today he could see things were abnormal at an alarming rate back in 72. Ali ultimately had a white substance in his lungs when they cut him open, when they put it under the microscope they found it to be a pesticide. Going all the way back to 1972 when he bought that training camp in Deer Lake Pennsylvania, some of the guys that trained with him said when Ali would jog in the road in rural Pennsylvania there was Farms on both sides of the road. And when Muhammad Ali would jog and his corner people would ride in the car behind him and they remembered the small air plains would spray a white substance and they thought nothing of it. They put the windows up and Ali kept jogging. The guy said back then we didn't know anything about pesticides and didn't know he would eventually get sick but he did! This is where it all got started, two years before the George Foreman fight. And it slowly progressed from there over time. and in the beginning of 1976 he started slurring his speech a bit. It was very subtle but you can hear it in comparison to 10 years before. And Dr's said he was speaking 26%slower During that time he was taking 20 to 25 pills from ill advised doctors that claim it would make him better, where it actually made him worse. As Dr Freddy Pacheco said it was like taking the wheels off of Indianapolis 500 race car and expecting it to perform in the winning circle's. it's just not going to happen. No matter how great that car is you take the wheels off it just won't perform. And that's what happened to Ali. He never had Parkinson's disease as they said in the early stages and then it changed to Parkinson's syndrome. and there it remained known and universally accepted as his assumed sickness He never had any of that what. he had wasn't really known until they did the autopsy. And It was said to be from pesticide in his lung that mimics Parkinson syndrome it gotten through his lungs and flow through his bloodstream and lymph nodes and his mind and nervous system and it messed him up. The fella on autopsy said at the end the only thing he was unsure about was, was it done intentionally or unintentionally was the question
Well you can see in this training session, he already was slow, and talked a little more unclear in the beginning, he had speech problems. You could even see he didnt punch that boxing bag like normal, its like he didnt have the strenght. He didn't look the same aswell.
No. Berbick mauled him but didn’t land anything to damaging to his head it was the body shots that hurt him most, Ali was very good at absorbing body shots most would of keeled over as Berbick was a rib smasher
just as an aside to show you how much times have changed...when Ali was training at 5th st. Gym in '70 or '71 the Miami Beach P.D. picked him up as he was jogging over one of the bridges from Miami to Miami Beach...as it was against local ordinances for Blacks to be on beachside. I was a Sr. in H.S. in '74 and it was unheard of to see blacks at the beach. They would go to the rivers or one of the intercostals but never the beach.
Going to the body opens you up for counters to the head and requires a much higher work rate. Ali liked to cruise through fights at a comfortable pace. And he wasn't going to exhaust himself throwing body punches for 15 rounds.
He actually looked really good here and sounded pretty good as well. It was reported that he took some thyroid pills or something to that effect right near the end before the fight and it really screwed his energy levels. He clearly had more energy here even though he was way overweight than he did for the fight on that evening… Something was clearly wrong when he stepped into the ring.
He literally had early on set Parkinson’s. You can hear it in his speech around 8 minutes. It’s slurred and not nearly as sharp as years prior. This wasn’t because of “thyroid pills” ridiculous 😂😂
This is what it looks like when you have people that don’t care about your well-being around you. There’s absolutely no way he should have been still fighting. You can see the stiffness in his legs while he was moving around the ring.
Rope a dope is funny. But reality is. MUHAMMAD ALI was just THAT DAMN TOUGH. HE SURVIVED FOREMAN. THATS IMPOSSIBLE. BUT HE DID IT. THEN WON. I LOVE FOREMAN
Most American Americans are 10-15 percent white. Ali was actually about a quarter white himself, he was just the product of the racist climate of the Jim Crow south.
You Can Tell He Wasn't Himself If You Watch Old Tapes Of Him. Even Angelo Dundee Looked Concerned. He Didn't Have That Spring In His Step, And He Wasn't As Light On His Feet As He Once Was. 😢
it's terrible how his money disappeared no drug habit booze gambling all his ring earnings ,the interview-s he had a cartoon action adventure, the comic where he apparently beat superman -an autobiograph,y a record a tv movie a pinball game with his pictures.....38 great years then 36 of hell, my hero Ali
"How his money disappeared" ?? Ha ha ! He said himself that about 80% (or even more) of his earnings went to charity events, helping the poor and the needy ... etc., so ...
Its crazy to think he was fighting 4 to 6 months and in between time would gain weight then have to lose it quick people dont realize how much strain you put on the body doing that
No one can judge you for trying, but you had vultures around you, we all knew that your career at this point, was the best career a boxer could dream of.
I don't that even know who is/was that "holmes" ass**** you were talkin' about, while for Muhammad Ali, it's different : every single one knew (and still knows) his name and who he was ... It says a great lot about your unknown "holmes" ass**** !
A man living on dreams. Betrayed by the “leeches” hanging off his hard work. Disgraceful that he still needed to turn a dollar in the ring at this stage of his life.
If he’d have fought more often through 79 and 80 he’d have beat Holmes and could have held onto the title a few more years. He should have fought on but not lost so much weight.
His skills were severely degraded. He was not ever going to beat Holmes after 1979. Only the Ali that beat Liston could have beaten Holmes. The Ali that fought Foreman, Norton, and Frazier would have lost to Holmes.
As great as he was Ali should not have been fighting at this time in his life. Parkinson’s had already begun to set in and in retrospect by the time he fought Holmes he was more or less done. I’ve never watched his fight with Holmes and never will because it’s very painful to see a living legend get berated the way Holmes did Ali.😢
And that's a absolute fact no question about that. He was showing signs of the sickness 4 and 1/2 years by the time he fought Holmes. Since the beginning of 76
Basically here's what happened....most people were saying if tate beat weaver then Ali would be his next opponent...weaver knocked him out with 45 sec left in the last round...otherwise tate would've won easily by UD....the original negotiations were for Ali to fight weaver but they fell thru so that's why Holmes was put in the picture....
@@dreman1970 That's interesting. I remember Tate being the WBA champ at the time, before Weaver upset the applecart. And given that he held the less prestigious of the two world bodies titles back then, I'm surprised. But then Holmes would always have been the tougher opponent so maybe it was the wise choice. Perhaps the plan was to fight Holmes after unify the titles after beating Tate?
YOU COULD EASILY SEE HE HAD PARKINSON'S AND HE WAS A SHELL OF HIMSELF SO SLOW JUST DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT. THEY SAY HE EVEN HAVE PARKINSON'S AS FAR BACK WHEN HE EVEN THOUGHT ERNIE SHAVERS.. And here's the kicker according to Angelo Dundee his trainer we never got to see the best of Muhammad Ali.. the four years that they illegally and unjustly took his belt would have been the best 4 years his crime Dundee said it was like shutting off jet propulsion!! And even with that not counting those four years HE STILL WAS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!
Sad to see him masking up and running his mouth, going through his best-of poem compilation without doing anything new, trying to kid himself and others into thinking he was in a fit state to fight
Ali should never have returned to boxing after 1967. Even in 1970 he wasn’t same as before . Parkinson's symptoms began in 1968 most people believed. !
He was already lazy by then just there to grab a buck, holmes was that guy then, fought everyone who came along. Ali would have needed the greatest condition of his life and a bad night by Holmes,
Holmes was a great fighter but was not foolish enough to be proud of beating Ali. He knew he only beat a badly faded Ali and it was just a payday and nothing more.
He's not himself no more.. but the foot work was still "floating like a butterfly".. GOAT FOREVER ❤
Even with early parkinsons this dude still trained his ass off, he really cared about boxing and you had to kill him to win, he was that good!

And that's a absolute fact no question about that. He was showing signs of the sickness 4 and 1/2 years by the time he fought Holmes. Since the beginning of 76
Dundee must have needed money pretty badly to send Ali out to fight in his deteriorated condition.
👍💖✨🥰
You can now see I'n this video that something is wrong with him. He's undiagnosed at this point 💔✝️
If this is 1980 it's surely Holmes he's training for, not Tate whom he never fought at all?
This was early in his training he didn't know if he would Tate or Holmes then Tate lost to Weaver and then it was Holmes or Weaver both had Belts
Basically here's what happened....most people were saying if tate beat weaver then Ali would be his next opponent...weaver knocked him out with 45 sec left in the last round...otherwise tate would've won easily by UD....the original negotiations were for Ali to fight weaver but they fell thru so that's why Holmes was put in the picture....
@@dreman1970 That's interesting. I remember Tate being the WBA champ at the time, before Weaver upset the applecart. And given that he held the less prestigious of the two world bodies titles back then, I'm surprised. But then Holmes would always have been the tougher opponent so maybe it was the wise choice. Perhaps the plan was to fight Holmes after unify the titles after beating Tate?
YOU COULD EASILY SEE HE HAD PARKINSON'S AND HE WAS A SHELL OF HIMSELF SO SLOW JUST DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT. THEY SAY HE EVEN HAVE PARKINSON'S AS FAR BACK WHEN HE EVEN THOUGHT ERNIE SHAVERS.. And here's the kicker according to Angelo Dundee his trainer we never got to see the best of Muhammad Ali.. the four years that they illegally and unjustly took his belt would have been the best 4 years his crime Dundee said it was like shutting off jet propulsion!!
And even with that not counting those four years HE STILL WAS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!
Spitting indoor.????? Only 37 here by the way
Pull de sudation par Muhammad Ali to Khabib
He should have retired for good after defeating Leon Spinks in 1978
ali eyes look different...
The glazed over gait
Sickness
Ali barkinson 😢😢🥊🦋🐝
Parkinsons disease? Wake up you fools he was poisoned
Possible
Boy they really milked this guy to the very end. They would have put him in with pee wee Herman if they could just to get 1 last paycheck
Unwise move. Pee wee had a very good jab.
ALI Not talking You know he sick
00:37 Fellas, is it okay to spit in a gym?
Allah rehmet etsin Mehemmedeliye
Sad to see him masking up and running his mouth, going through his best-of poem compilation without doing anything new, trying to kid himself and others into thinking he was in a fit state to fight
Still looked smokin but sluggish and slow what a shame
Gubbament did a job on our Black brotha allegedly 🤔 Rip champ 🏆✊🏿 🐐 goat 🥊🥊
I Guess he was specting for a miracle he couldn't hit a Bear un those times
This is hard to watch
Ali should never have returned to boxing after 1967.
Even in 1970 he wasn’t same as before .
Parkinson's symptoms began in 1968 most people believed. !
He was already lazy by then just there to grab a buck, holmes was that guy then, fought everyone who came along. Ali would have needed the greatest condition of his life and a bad night by Holmes,
This is misinformation as Muhammad Ali never had a bout with John Tate.
Another thing…he really should not have had this crowd around him when training. Seems exploitative and distracting
Wish they never drugged him
He was taking thyroid medication to lose weight I think
@@KD400_ he was drugged for sure he did whatever whoever he trusted
He looked terrible here😢
He looks lethargic here
He should have retired after the Thrilla In Manila
What a great fighter Larry Holmes was. He beat Ali badly. He showed him how to box and made him look like a fool
Holmes was a great fighter but was not foolish enough to be proud of beating Ali. He knew he only beat a badly faded Ali and it was just a payday and nothing more.
