Hello to Belgium. One question: How is Mr. Coopman? Did he suffer from any injuries or brain damage, parkinson, slurred speech like Muhammad Ali? Muhammad Ali hit him such a lot punches to his head that I am anxious if Cooopman is all well with speech, health etc. If he is well and don´t suffer of Parkinson than boxing cannot be the cause that Muhammad suffered from Parkinson. Thanks for an accurate answer.

Proud of what. This was basically a fixed fight & Coopman showed zero skills whatsoever.

Su estilo, su carisma y calidad lo hacen ser incomparable, el mejor boxeador de todos los tiempos.

I think mohamed Ali is the best sportsman ever in the universe and the globe will never create such a man. He is not only a boxer, he is a philosopher and a role model to all generations. His history must be taught in schools to know how heros are created

Well said, very wise, i agree with your views

Yes Muhammad Ali knew coopman was not a match for him, so he took it easy on him, and coopman couldn't even speak English, the way Ali went over to him to see if he was OK, really touched my heart. Muhammad Ali was so sweet..

Greatest fighter of all time ✍️

The legend!! Long live Ali

Ali allowed Coopman to hang around for 4 rounds. He did that so Coopman could say he went 4 rounds with him. That was Ali's greatness... He would make much weaker opponents hang around for awhile and get a few shots in. Ali was such a great man. God bless him for being the greatest and not allowing anyone to manipulate or lead him in a direction he didn't want to go. R.I.P., to one of the greatest men that ever lived on Earth...

Even though this was post Manila and Coopman was a zero, Ali still had some of the hand speed and snap in his punches that made him an all time great. Three months later, he would KO Richard Dunn for his last KO. After that fight...Norton III where he was exposed as an ageing champion fighting with smoke and mirrors relying on his mythic status to win unimpressive decisions leading to the dreadful farce against Holmes. But here, he still looks like The Greatest.

When you are fighting Ali, not understanding English is probably an asset! You have to feel sorry for Coopman - I hope he got a decent payday for taking such a beating.

Ali’s last fight should of been after recapturing the belt from Forman. Let’s be honest now. He would always have had Parkinson disease but maybe he wouldn’t have been as bad as he was shortly after retiring for good after the Trevor Berbick fight.

Ali had more mercy on him than if a child was in the ring

Muhammad was an outstanding boxer. The greatest of all time! But he was an AMAZING human being! He actually cared about the well being of others and treated every opponent with respect and honor, even if they were nowhere near as talented as him!

Joe Louis fought guys who were stiffs and it became known as the Bum of the Month Club. This guy Coopman was such a bum Louis never would have considered fighting him. Ali was over the hill and should have retired but he had one more trick up his sleeve-lose to a stiff named Spinks and best him in a rematch for some additional pay days.

Have you ever seen a fighter with his hands down land punches when they are always walking backwards? Ali was doing it in the first two rounds. He had the height, reach and even weight advantage but adding in his skills like speed, it was no contest. The Flemish fighter did receive $100,00 for just being there. A good chunk of money back in the day.

This was a sparring session. Coopman was not even trying to hurt ali at all.

Ali could've knocked this guy out in the first round but Ali didn't hate the guy or anything so he just carried him to put on a show for the crowd. Ali did this alot. Ali literally knocked him out by accident. Wasn't even trying.

Master class Ali🎉

I know the opponent was under matched, but Ali looked really sharp. I don't think he was any sharper as he got older for sure.

Aquí ya era más veterano pero seguía siendo el mejor

Listening to Ali's voice, you can hear the onset of the slurred speech...My opinion he should've retired after the Foreman fight! But ohhh how We loved to watch him though...While beating Frazier on decision obviously Frazier's face was bad, real bad...But all that head trauma did do damage against Ali! The Greatest! So sad though that the reasons why and they're numerous that Ali was the greatest and why We loved him so was his curse in the end... With the rapacious Don King, all the yes men that he chose to surround himself with its a real shame he continued to fight... Truly ironic, Ali came in at a time when boxing was its most corrupt and shook the world, he then transcends the sport...ONLY TO HAVE THAT CORRUPT GAME BE HIS DOWNFALL! I point to the example of "Sugar ray Seales" a fighter who essentially was legally blind was given a boxing license to fight Aaron Pryor... Ya what I am saying is atleast after the Spinks fight, as Great as Ali was and as much of a money ticket he was BOXING SHOULD'VE SAID "NO LICENSE CHAMP, WELCOME TO THE HALL OF FAME!"

Ali should have retired after this fight. It would have been a good time. He didn't have anything else to prove.
