Ali-Holmes, How Did They Allow This Fight to Happen...

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

Ali was retired at 37, and actually read the facts and his age is the least of the issues at hand, Ali technically wasn't even medically cleared and yet was still given a license, that's the problem, just cause you have a vendetta against Muhammad doesn't take away that he most likely suffered permanent damage from this fight and his condition is worse than what it would have been had someone stepped up and said, NO we can't allow you to take this fight, I said that Ali clearly isn't the only one who's been put into this situation and that officials need to do their jobs and stop this shit from happening

I think age has a lot to do with it, that and the fact that his defensive arsenal in his 30's mainly consisted of laying on the ropes and turning himself into a human punchbag! You want to talk fighters fighting with 'wear and tear' or 'medical issues'?? Try ali's supposed career best performance, the virtuoso performance ppl always allude to to highlight peak ali's powers, cleveland williams:

Williams had been inactive the entire year of 1965 while recovering from gunshot wound. Williams was shot with a .357 Magnum in the abdomen, barely survived, and suffered permanent kidney damage, a loss of over ten feet of his small intestine, and nerve damage from the bullet which affected his left leg above the knee, causing it to atrophy as a result. 10 months later he fought ali!! Ali was beating up on near cripples!

Oh ya and let's not forget ali vs a 47 year old 190lb archie moore who at that point in his life was acting in hollywod movies playing slaves!!

Distasteful is a 47 yr old Jerry Quarry (9 years of inactivie) vs Ron Cramer! Not linear champ ali fighting holmes for the WBA belt...

Distasteful is calling joe frazier an ugly gorilla or 'all white men devils'....Distasteful is parading around in a silly pantomine outfit whilst his countrymen are dying in vietnam! Distasteful is puppeteering for elijah muhammed! Ali v holmes was not distasteful it was a changing of the guard fight, nothing more. Ali fought men who had no business fighting him....or indeed even boxing!!
