It is sad Ali was beaten by a fifth rate heavyweight. A heavyweight not even ranked on the All Times list of Heavyweight Boxers. But Ali decided to get into the ring with this guy. He got his butt handed to him.😢

"He cared about his fighter too much." More knowingly false words have never been spoke. Ali was experiencing early signs of serious physical decline prior to fighting Holmes, but no one seemed to care enough. The monetary gain far outweighed the genuine concern that should have been present.

I saw this fight when I was 18 years old in a close circuit theater that seated roughly 500 and I am here to tell you that that nearly every person in that venue knew that fight was over at the end of the 3rd Rd. Ali had next to Zero left in the tank and could barley defend himself. Just a sad and pathetic affair.

Ali was in decline when he lost then won the return against Spinks. Its not Holmes fault this happened and the outcome would have been worse against an opponent unwilling to pull his punches.

Exactly. It's weird as hell that people decide to pin the match on Holmes, he tried to get the match to stop because Ali clearly wasn't physically for the fight.

I feel sorry for Larry, because he was often associated with this shameful event. The media and the fans put Larry in a no win situation. Both men were great fighters, and I rate them very highly when people talk about great heavyweights ... Ali, Holmes, Foreman, Frazier, etc .... Absolute warriors.

@OscarGomez-wv9fd MUHAMMAD ALI WAS TOO OLD, ALI TURNED PROFESSIONAL IN 1960, BY 1980 ALI WAS MORE THAN TOO OLD, ALI'S LAST REAL FIGHT WAS IN 1975 AGAINST JOE FRASER, IN MANILA, THERE AFTER ALI WAS NEVER THE SAME. WHY DO THINK ALI'S LIFE TIME RING DOCTOR FREDDY PACHICIO QUIT BEFORE THE FIGHT WARNING ALI NOT TO FIGHT DUE TO ALI'S HEALTH ISSUES. LOOK AT MIKE TYSON WHEN HE FOUGHT AGAINST BUMS WHEN HE GOT OLDER, TYSON KEPT LOOSING. WHEN TYSON WAS YOUNG HE FOUGHT AGAINST LARRY HOLMES, TYSON KNOCKED OUT LARRY HOLMES COLD, . DO YOU HONESTLY THINK A YOUNG JOE LOUIS WAS GOING TO LOOSE A FIGHT AGAINST ROCKY MARCIANO, WAKE UP YOU CLOWN AND STUDY BOXING.

The saddest fight of my lifetime. It shouldn’t have been allowed. Ali was obviously a sick man by this time. His speech was slow and slurred. He wasn’t the same. Even some sports writers had urged him to quit fighting before he took this fight. Ali wasn’t just a great fighter - he was a national icon and a man who transcended sports and was beloved by many millions around the world. We will never look upon his like again. He was unique. In a sport dominated by thugs, he shined like a brilliant star high above the rest of the field. I don’t know if he was the greatest heavyweight of all time - although he get my vote - but I don’t think there’s any question that he was the greatest public personality in the history of professional athletics. I feel lucky to have come of age while he was in his prime. He was witty and wise and very courageous.

After this fight, when Holmes went to visit Ali in the hospital, Muhammad was laid on a bed with a towel covered on his face and holmes wasn't able to check on him or talk to him but on his way out he heard Ali screaming *I want Holmes*

Hey, just kinda got introduced to boxing, newer fan of it, you mind explaining that a bit? Like was he asking for a visit or was it a sorta pissed way, since I know Ali cared about peace because of his religion, so I'm assuming he asking for a visit, but you can never be too sure. Seem's interesting none the less.

@AzizSherverzian Basically Muhammed Ali had parkinsons at this time and he was allowed the fight even though he never passed the physical test and Larry Holmes (the guy hes fighting in this) went relentless on Ali which many people have shamed him for. Larry said in an interview apparently he told the ref to stop the fight but the ref told him to shut up and carry on
