It's obvious the newer generations after Ali used him as an example of what not to do when it came to fighting too long

I always ALWAYS say that Ali was decent in 1978 when he became 3 time Heavyweight champ beating Leon Spinks. He still spoke decent, still with a slur, but he was coherent. It's the coming out of retirement to fight Larry Holmes is what did him in. He took so many drugs and thyroid pills to lose weight and get shape for the fight, that it zapped his energy and his mental. There was a huge change in his speech and reflexes after the Larry Holmes fight. Seeing Ali on the Arsenio Hall show struggling to talk made me

The weekend's toupee fiasco reminded me of when John John Molina did the same exact thing vs DeLaHoya in losing a UD

His wig stayed in place though

I'm confused, so the Jai Opetaia unification fight with the other belt holder got cancelled?

Just googled and I see that he is signed to Don King, Zuffa said no co-promotions

Came here to post this
That would explain why he went on the run instead of just turning himself in
Bad jawn
Will be interesting if the Baltimore court throws him in jail or has some leniency on him
