the fighter was also responsible. he couldnt stay away. i dont think they had the knowledge we do now of how it works. even though his former cornermen and team refused to be part of it, some people did simply because of his name and who he was. blaming other people without looking at the fighters part in events is foolish.. yes ofc more could of been done, but ultimately it was his decision to step into the ring and other people had warned him and told him not to do it and refused.. you cant put those same standards of integrity on everyone-- thats fairy land, and has been common in boxing especially when large paydays are involved. looking at them as villains or greedy manipulators ignores the reality that it was the fighters wishes and impetus that put him there. id recommend reading up on your boxing history, as ive pointed out it wasnt as simple as your statement
I vaguely remember this exhibition. Incredible. This early stage Parkinson's Ali was sharp. If it wasn't for that thyroid medicine he still would have lost to Holmes and Berbick. But he wouldn't have been humiliated.
Why does everybody try to kill Ali when they spar or fight him. The hatred for this great man is so deep it’s scary and embarrassing all at the same time. One of the greatest men to ever walk the earth.
Ali was a dog boy I don’t care what nobody say his body may have slowed down but like he always said he always manage to win or do good in a fight cause he always had more zip than zap and boy he showed here rip champ u was the greatest
It grosses me out that some chump is gonna get the opportunity to spar with the Greatest and he uses it as a platform to try and hurt Ali when hes obviously less than a shell of his fighting self suffering from Parkinsons already. Well into it. Bad taste. Ali Boom ba yae The Greatest.
Ali wanted to do it. It was fun for him. And then out of nowhere, 40 years later, comes an idiot on a youtube comment section misunderstanding the entire purpose of this exhibition lol ...
And that would be you. Kindly share what other things are you offended and grossed out by besides this video and other youtube commenters? Are you so angry that you want to storm a capitol somewhere or occupy a university? @@Godshonestruth
@@624radicalham And you obviously know nothing about the event or ali. It was supposed to be for charity and after this fight his legs were never the same. So again you are showing your igorance and anger by attacking a complete strangers fact based opinion.
You have to wonder how badly Ali screwed himself up with the thryroid medication he was eating like peanuts before the Holmes fight that probably had more to do with how f-ed up he was when he fought Holmes .Actually fought Berbick after he fought Holmes and looked alot stronger .Was the Holmes fight a actual record payday for Ali?
Came here from the argument video on Instagram I'm glad
Same
Can't be same guy he's nearly bald here and got full hair when old man
@@liamcooke269bro what you’re acting as a if people can’t shave their head
Hahaha inatagram sent me here
Me too 😂😂😂
Wow is this how he looked in 1984 4 years after retirement and he looks sharp, what a great boxer.
Incredible
Ali even in this condition still gave it to KP peanut
That jab is a thing of beauty
the counter right too! 1:14 and 1:32
Woww 1984 was around the time he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, and still floating like a butterfly 💯💯💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💙💙
this was shortly before it was announced. I have the full segment on VHS.
Just out of this world..what a great man..
Thanks for poosting this footage, much appreciated.
Unbelievable! I saw this years ago but it still feels unbelievable.
Ali is only 42 years old on this video!
Ali should not have been allowed anywhere NEAR a boxing ring. The people around him, especially his manager Hurbert Muhammad, are partly responsible.
I've often wondered if that was the last time he sparred. Angelo wouldn't let him spar even though he'd ask.

It’s amazing with Parkinson’s Ali could still dance
Слава Богу! Даже не верится, Али на пенсии выглядит шикарно! Спасибо!
He is faster and stronger here than in the Holmes and Berbick fight
He didn’t do bad against berbick surprisingly. Even tho it was 10 rounds
So he really was a sparring partner for Muhammad Ali
Porter taking the piss , Champ unwell
even tho he was showing the earlier parkinson's, he still looks swaggy.
I vaguely remember this exhibition.
Incredible.
This early stage Parkinson's Ali was sharp.
If it wasn't for that thyroid medicine he still would have lost to Holmes and Berbick.
But he wouldn't have been humiliated.
ali 100% won the berbick fight by split desicion
@@Leadersupreme9129 Nah Berbick sent Ali into permanent retirement.
But Mike Tyson got revenge on Berbick for Ali.

tal cual , siempre observé que en los sparring eran innecesariamente agresivos
@@Alejandro-lp2od exactamente. Innesesariamente
They are sparring this is boxing, it’s a competitive sport. When a man socks you hard , you sock him back hard
I was scared when he got hit. He already had way to much damage to the head
2:14 Ali in this condition probably would have beaten Michael Dokes
No chance
Wish Mike was in that gym

The Greatest.
This is in 84 when he even announced to the world he had Parkinsons

Porter was taking liberties with the Greatest. He should not have done that.
Whos here from instagram?
We are real boxing fans
He's doing that for the crowd he can't even talk should have went and got Homles for him
хотелось бы чтоб не было у него болезнь паркинсона
Sadly Ali,s was already SICK🤔😡
the CIA slipped him something
Prove it
Definitely, they did. For not going to the governments CIA created war.
Yeah all those hard punches to the head by foreman Frazier holmes and shavers had nothing to do with it

Ali was paid an $8 million dollar purse for the Homes Fight.
