    Holmes v tyson, how did they allow this fight to happen?

    Ali fought numerous fighters that were approaching 40 or in there 40's!

    WHY SHOULD FIGHTERS NOT GET AN OPPORTUNITY VS A LATE 30'S ALI?

    Because Holmes still had all his faculties... seriously dude watch the documentary, they put Ali on the wrong medication mistaking his Parkinson's for something else, it made him barely able to move around the ring. Ali should never have been aloud to fight they should have pulled him out on medical grounds.

    Saddo mentioned it in another post, I started one ages ago about it. I think Ali wore the mustache because subconsciously he wanted to disassociate himself from the fight and say this is not the real Ali. It was sick and sad.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    The Holmes who fought Tyson and the Ali who fought Holmes were nothing alike as far as deterioating health is concerned.

    Holmes went on to school Ray Mercer and have a very close fight with Holyfield for the world title, YEARS after he fought Tyson.

    Ali went on to lose to Berbick, retire and suffer from parkinsons.
