Muhammad Ali and The Fight Doctor - A Cautionary Tale.
Спорт
A look back at the relationship of Muhammad Ali and Ferdie Pacheco, why their paths eventually diverged and how "The Greatest" became a cautionary tale for modern boxers and mixed martial artists.
Much more footage in this video than I'd usually use but I'd imagine some people are unfamiliar with Pacheco and the old clips of sports writers and boxing analysts discussing legends like Ali and Joe Frazier is always quality.

Seems that Ali didn't think his "Parkinsons" was unrelated to boxing.

Rest in peace, Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali, and Ferdie Pacheco. Thank you for this dope tribute to all of them.

Muhammad ali + molly whoppery = combat entertainment heavenly goodness
Man that pic of Ali starring at the other corner with two black eyes whilst sitting reminds me of a wounded lion out in the Savannah, just fucking fighting until the body gives out. Just sheer warrior spirit. Dana's right though, you need people who are more rational thinkers in this business of untamed, just ready to live and die by the sword warriors...cause yes! sometimes you have to save the fighters from themselves! Great video again!

MrWarxhe I agree. Also, it looks very bad for Boxing and UFC if a fighter is killed in competition. Protecting the product is a very wise business move

As a 90s baby, all I’ve really ever been told about is the legacy of Ali. Even the coverage I’ve seen/read about him in the latter stages of his career was more about his *body* failing him, not his mind or how the two coincided in his downfall. I legit have never seen that clip of him slurring his words like that and it saddens me how much of his decline has been glossed over and hidden. Aside from how generally amazing this video was, I thank you for educating me more on Ali. I’m already a sub but I really have to recommend your channel to my friends or I’d be doing you a disservice. All your vids are amazing but I think this is your best yet

19:45 It was criminal to allow him to box when he was obviously slurring his words. Doctors and promoters should have gone to jail.
Please, do more boxing videos, this is some top notch content! U got another sub
This a weird one, Dana is 100% right to pull Mark after saying his heads screwed. Yet Mark is 110% right to ask why Dana let 3 juiced up Gorillas beat the ever loving fuck out of him AND keep their paycheques then.

Agreed. Sad shit. The Wop lays out a great story though. That's partially why it's so riveting. The power of film.
I hate how youtube is "strong arming" creators into nerffing their videos these days. The bleeps r rediculus. It's just another form of censorship. You can't argue how creators are now forced to work within certain guidelines to keep monetization. Def hinders the work. I salute this channel 4 putting up with it. Better man than i

Welcome to capitalism
I never knew this. One of Ali's true friends, a Dr. Freddie Pacheco, who sincerely Loved him told the truth as a friend, advised Ali to stop fighting. A friend whom Loved him so much, had to quit, leave his friend because he could not watch Ali kill himself. Wow! Thank you for this video MixedMollyWhoppery. In your field, you are also the Greatest of all times. Peace my brother.
One of Ferdie’s last interviews were about the Inoki vs Ali. When they witnessed and learned of Inoki’s intention fully demolish Ali. Ferdie and Dundee stepped in to renegotiate the rules which led for the full protection of Ali against joint locks, takedowns, and stand up Kicks. Inoki while laying down- destroyed Ali’s legs. That was the end of Ali as we knew it.
Man, this was an amazing mini-documentary. Sign a deal with Netflix already!
i havent started but i can tell its going to be a great video
Absolutely thought provoking and masterfully executed. Thank you MMW for a wonderful presentation on health, sports and ethics amongst others. Terrific work.
The Joe Rogans, Bas Rutans and Brendan Shuabs of this world all acknowledge your greatness and I hope you never stop making these videos for MMA and fighting.

You and boxing legends tv are the two best combat sport channels on KZread. Keep doing what your doing, quality content man
Outstanding sir! I've seen Pacheco in several boxing documentaries but never knew who he was, or of his connection to Ali. A fascinating but tragic video. You continue to excel in each video you post.
I was sparring with a young heavyweight prospect 6'2 250lbs named Rodolfo, this kid has amazing hand speed with a lot of power. He's only 24. I sparred with him at least 4 times. We sparred about 2 to 3 rounds. The days after the sparrings. I had serious headaches and my speech started to slur. I'm glad that I'm not a professional. Because I can only imagine the amount of money these boxers are getting offered and they have to think about taking care of paying the bills and their kids. It's easy for us to say that they should retire, but it's not a easy decision to make for a prize fighter.
Man, I got a little choked up at the end there. Your best vid yet I think
Respect...One of your best MollyWop
So I was a TV photog in Tucson and one of the older photogs told me how he interviewed Muhammad Ali before he died. He talked about how sad it was and that always stuck with me because we both loved watching boxing matches on slow nights in the newsroom, but he got a glimpse into what it costs fighters. That story always stuck with me.
Another awesome video. Cheers Molly
MMW- You got something real special here buddy. This channel has that "IT" factor. There is something really professional about the way you do what you do. Fucking KUDOS.
I love Hunt, the guys a fucking warrior!!! Everyone that watches the UFC should respect this guy. Hope he is happy.
Damn I've watched literally all of your vids and have been subscribed forever but for some reason this is the first I've seen of this, a video about my favorite athlete of all time. Lucky me I guess lol
MIXEDMOLLYWHOPPERY is to MMA what BOXING LEGENDS TV is to BOXING. Two true p4p #1 channels in their own fields.
Another great video bud,1 thing you always seem to always catch onto is what some people may wrongly think you are alluding to and tell them already that you're not saying that,very self aware..brilliant content everytime..'you was right'-heartbreaking.
How does this guy not have 500k subs?! This is amazing content! I echo the rest of the chat: auto-like every time.
This very well may be the absolute best video you've ever made, and that is saying something, with all the great content you've provided us. Bravo, sir.
This is one of the best channels I have ever found. Great personality and intelligent points of view.
When Ali beat Liston for the 1st time, he was NOT the youngest man ever to win the Heavyweight title. Floyd Patterson still held that distinction by winning the title at 21. Ali was 22 when he beat Liston. Mike Tyson now holds the record having won the title at age 20 from Trevor Berbick!

Solid work again, champ This channel is fucking tremendous 👌
What a great piece you have put together there. The end comment.....closed it off absolutely brilliantly....felt it. Cannot press the play button fast enough when you post new videos. Great work!
You’re the man MMW
This channel deserves millions of subs! I love the content !
Wow, that last bit " you was right" hit me hard and the angle of the video justified. So true, these fighters do need protection from themselves at times in some instances.
Dude you are a genius with the English language in my personal opinion. It’s the part of the language you hear everyday and some of the slang we all use and that’s what makes it great. Keep on making cool videos.
I love boxing i love this Channel i clic i like
The amount of effort that has gone into this video is astounding! Superb job again :)
“I said Roy” Haha...that’s simply fantastic stuff.
I can watch your videos over and over... Simply the best.
