    Also showed Holmes building his house and still with his wife, great man and champ.

    Ali had a moustache in training and was slowing deteriorating physically, it was sad. they said he starting taking Thyroid tablets nearer the fight where he lost weight but also could not do more than 4 rounds or run. Very sad, reminding me of Shane v Pac Man in a weird way.

    Do not know if anyone watched it but these were my thoughts.
    It was earlier said by one of the people in that training camp and i've seen this on an Ali documentary but it slips my mind, but there was another fighter in Ali's camp I forget his name but he was a lightweight i believe. But he said when Ali tried to imply to him that they were Thyroid tablets, that he was very up front with Ali that he knew they were not thyroid tablets, they were L-dopa, which was used to treat parkinson's syndrome, because his father had used those kinds of pills so he is very familiar with them. So that it dawned on him that "my god this guy has parkinsons and is still fighting?"

    That makes it even worse.
