I spend that video going between laughing, and trying not to cry. Heart breaking watching someone so proud and with so much to say struggle against losing that part of who he is.
I hear you, but what makes me feel a little better about Ali's obvious brain damage that he obviously suffered because of boxing is, he got to spend the last 30 years of his life, in peace, with his children, and grand children, surrounded by people who loved him and took care of him... He earned that.. A warrior deserves to live his remaining years after war or battle,... In peace.. And he did
@@GeorgecortCortina I am not going to argue whether he should or shouldn't have gone ? Personally I think he should have served but he did make a good point that here in America he couldn't even go into several eating establishments and sit down and have lunch. I mean yes I think he should have served but isn't it bad when people talk about doing it for America and the American Way which stands for freedom and people of color are expected to serve and yet when they return home they wouldn't have even been able to go into some establishments.

After it's my time, What I'd like to be remembered is, He took a few cups of Love, One table spoon of patience, One teaspoon of generosity, One pint of Kindness, One pinch of Laughter. He mixed it all together with a loyal loving heart. And spread it over time to those whom deserved it 😇

I absolutely loved ali!, and he was quite a showman,but he was not the greatest. the greatest heavy weight boxer, is the one who retires with a perfect record!. and that boxer was rocky marciano, hands down! he retired 49 & 0, with 43 knockouts!. but you never hear them say anything about that!!!, really pisses me off. when they mention the 10 greatest heavy weight boxers, they dont even include rocky!! rocky was on a flight, when the airplane crashed, and tragically he was kiled. for heavens sake give the man his do.

Ali was heavily medicated even before the Holmes fight, so he already knew at that time that he had Parkinson's, he just didn't admit it publicly because he had another fight coming up later that year which was his final fight against Trevor Berbick. If he would have told the truth then his fight would have gotten cancelled against his will.
The “sport” of boxing is to give your opponent a concussion before he gives you one. Here you see the inevitable outcome of such barbarism. And it only got very much worse for him.
Correct. It's a barbaric and idiotic activity; should be relegated to history. We've known for centuries that it makes humans "punch drunk"....and yet, most humans being slow learners, it continues. Rather like bullfighting....how many generations of Spaniards does it take for them to recognize that animal torture is abhorrent and wrong? Humans.....Duh....
Muhammad Ali o Mohamed Ali (nacido como Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr.; Louisville, Kentucky, 17 de enero de 1942-Scottsdale, Arizona, 3 de junio de 2016) fue un boxeador estadounidense, considerado uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos. Fue una figura social de enorme influencia en su generación, en la política y en las luchas sociales o humanitarias a favor de los afroamericanos y del islam.
It’s clear that by this time, Muhammad Ali was struggling in his speech. His mental faculties were on the downward escalator. Very sad. The fact is that he fought to many fights, hence the brain damage.
why?the punch to headh has no relationship with this kind of fightfrom Ali invention and you know then Parkinson is probably due to receive this punches on head I think you can see his pretty face with no hurt. boxing has only a problem and the problem is the heads has to be protected howin the Olympics for example. and so in the case of pilots.
he evaded slipped or reduced most of foreman's head shots ,if you think he caused any major damage and you haven't really watched that fight and believe that myth that he lai d there for 8 rounds,nonsense. if there was damage it came from Shavers or Frazier not Foreman. His brain and wit was fully engaged here ,speech is slowed that's all nthats Parkinsons,brain damage take a look at the the Moyer and Quarry Brothers, no comparison. why is it some people seem to take great pleasure in his decline?
That was clearly not what gave him damage as he suffered no big blows to the head you dope. His damage came afterwards in his later fights where he got walloped with heavy blows to the head when his agility was not what it used to be.
You have completely misinterpreted 'rope a dope' as if this single action were to blame for the cognitive decline in Ali. The technique used by Ali was to exhaust Foreman by allowing him to hit his arms and sides as hard as he could, he did not lean against the ropes taking constant head shots. This tactic turned out to be very effective and Foreman tired leaving a fresher Ali able to dominate and win the rumble in the jungle. If Ali had suffered ruptured internal organs and multiple rib breaks then you may have had a point otherwise study the actual bout and you will find Ali took fewer shots to the head with Foreman than the majority of his other fights.
Ali turned out to be the dope in the rope-a-dope. I don't think he would have been so quick if there was drug testing then. He acted like a speed freak.
How pitiful is your life, how unsatisfied and unfulfilled it must be! Ali is so great he can inspire you to seek negative attention on digital platforms from the grave. Your grandparents never wanted to see you grow up to be so unhappy that you seek to make others unhappy on the internet.
Ali fought what he believed in and he didn't believe in the war you're referring to so he didn't go and kill others over it. You just don't think do you?

Parkinson said that Ali here was almost a totally different person from their previous encounters. Something was gone from his eyes Parky said.

@@deborahshah9536 most of his fights after 1976 most of them are for money because Ali had a huge debt.
