He wasn't mentally tired...he was sick you mook.

People who think Tyson should be fighting at 50+ should watch this.

Should’ve retired after Foreman. He’d still be the greatest of all times. But the fact that he did fight 2 more times after this and still didn’t get knocked out, makes him even greater.

Not sure you can call the Holmes contest a real fight. Ali was mauled in the ring, and Holmes took it easy on him. The Holmes disaster should never have taken place. Ali desperately needed the money. No tune up fights (not that they would have helped-he was beyond shot in 1980). So the Berbick fight in 1981 took place outside the United States because no state would sanction another Ali bout. So they fought in the Bahamas. It is absolutely shocking to watch Ali interviews circa 1970 and then to this in 1980. It was ten years but Ali seemed to have aged at least 35 years. This is the behavior and speech of someone in their 70's and suffering cognition and speech issues. He's only 38 years old here!

Ali was already finished before Ernie Shaves in late 1977. So really the remaining 4 fights and 1000s of rounds of sparing got him.

I'm a huge Ali fan, but got damn he was killing those cokes 😂. Also, Ali recycled many jokes over the years; " You're not as dumb as you look", " If I had a lower IQ, I'd enjoy this interview", " I love your show and admire your style, however your pay is so cheap I won't be back for a while". Just to name a few lol. He still the greatest though. Miss you Champ!

In memory of muhammad ali

Could the extreme thirst be a side effect or symptom of something?

It is shocking to think he fought 2 more times after this interview.....he's having trouble forming words, he seems on the verge of falling asleep....I guess there was too much money to be made by too many people to stop him from fighting.

Actor, Ernest Thomas (“Roger” from “What’s Happening!!”) was a very good friend of Ali. Ernest said the ONLY reason Ali kept fighting post ‘76 was he loved the attention. It was NOT bout money. He had money, but he was a giving man that gave it to people that had their hand out. The sound of the applause from fans is something he couldn’t give up that’s why he kept fighting.

I appreciate the zooming

Loock what a man he was!!! You are right 100%. Alredy you could see he was with something wrong!! This show all of us my generation born in the 60s and all generations before and after

This is just sad to see and hear.
