Ali fought Holmes with Parkinson's to try to prove his greatness further

I might be wrong but as far as I remember from the discussions the motivations of Ali for that fight were purely financial reasons?

 

Ali fighting with Parkinson's had nothing to do with "proving his greatness". He fought for money.

 

Yes Floyd thinks he's the greatest ever, most people disagree. Do people really need to keep going on about it? Floyd probably thinks a lot of things which aren't true. He isn't very smart and has a huge ego.

 

Ali was made to fight Holmes & Berbick by his Muslim advisors
Ferdi Pacheco , for all his faults, was 100% right when he said Ali was not fit to ever fight again. He did all he could to stop it happening when he failed he refused to be a party to it.
Ali should have retired immediately after Foreman what they did to him was disgusting

 

Every fighter faces tough challenges in order to prove his greatness further

 

cheap joke

 

I can't call anyone the greatest until they prove it to me personally in hand to hand combat. Until then I view them as decent fighters with some skill.

 

Fought for greed.

 

Ali saw Holmes fight and was delusional to think he could beat him. The mind and mentality of a fighter was all there but the body would not respond.

 

Why is this relevant?

 

Ali was one of a kind, truly one of the best 4 or 5 fighters in the history of the sport.

So it's ok if Floyd doesn't measure up to him because few actually do.

 

Don't think he believed that sh*t himself. At the moment he challenged Holmes ringside he looked 50, and not a by B-Hop kinda 50 either.
It was a pure and simple cry for $$$ and he shouldn't even be cleared to step inside a boxing ring in his condition. All he had left was his name and his chin.
