Now if I'm not mistaking you're comparing the Ali in the vid to the Ali who fought Larry Holmes!?!

Thats just an idiotic statement. I'm not trying to be disrespectful but that was a stupid statement.

The Ali that fought Larry Holmes was past his best, was a shot fighter and was taking El Dopa for parkinsons he already had been developing for a time before he fought Larry Holmes so don't even try to compare that kind of crap. Ask Larry Holmes, he'll tell you he used to spar with a prime Ali(or did you forget they were sparring partners at one time?) And that Ali used to absolutely pound him in what seemed like an effortless fashion.

So don't even try to compare the Ali that fought Holmes to the Ali in that vid, it's just stupid
Hold on i thought Holmes used to get better of Ali like in rumble in the jungle ??
