I'm sure he could've been a president himself if god wasn't so cruel with him. Hell have you seen he's brother? He would be rocking today just like Tyson
Who knows. It did create some excitement for Evers campaign. Evers came in third in the race. With the traditionally Democratic vote of African-Americans going for the independent Charles Evers, Democrat Maurice Dantin came in second - allowing Thad Cochran to become the first Republican Senator in Mississippi in decades.
@@cameramandavid It was amazing. I was the physician at the Mound Bayou Community (Taborian) Hospital that night. After the planned rally at the now closed JFK high school, Ali stood outside among the crowd for over thirty minutes on a warm evening and gave an impromptu speech and demonstrated his boxing skills. Before he departed, I had the privilege of shaking his hand.
@@mookie449 Ali and his doctors deny his boxing had anything to do with his Parkinson’s but we can all speculate. I know by the time he lit the Olympic torch in 1996 he looked pretty bad.
@@nickslade3978 experts say he exhibited signs of parkinsons as early as 74' and if that's truly the case, since that would just be the outward symptoms, then Ali probably started losing his ability to really move his body around how he did during his prime as early as 1970. :'(

You can notice the humility in both folks. This is what the people want. A genuine person.
I’m so glad to know that Ali saw USA with a black president elected before he died rip
Underrated Comment my friend. You know I always kept saying this for a long time till people got tired of hearing it

Ali not only saw the first black president but also the first gay one in Obama. So it was double the celebration.
he peobably dissapointed like the rest of the world, black or white potus still have red bloody hands of the world's innocents
im sure he is more dissapointed than glad

رحمة الله علي الحاج /محمدعلي
He has my vote
AND mine too!!
The slurred speech was very evident by this point,
ALI THE GREATEST 🥊🥊🥊
AND BY A VERY VERY LONG WAY TOO MY FRIEND!!
So? Did having Ali in his corner help? Must say, true rarity to have Ali backing any politician..
Not at all~ Evers had the third most votes~ Republican Thad Cochran won the election~
David, did you cover the caravan through the Mississippi Delta when Muhammad Ali came to Mound Bayou on a Sunday night?
No. I wish I had, sounds amazing.

Ali slurring his words.
It wasn’t until 1984 that Ali revealed he had Parkinson’s syndrome. Undoubtedly it had gone undiagnosed for years.
@@cameramandavid wrong...he was punch drunk from getting the crap beaten out of him. his handlers used him up for easy paydays.
