BEST I FACED: SUGAR RAY LEONARD

You must mean big ironically, but no way do people thinbk Berbick won nearly every round.
Out of only 10 rounds that must mean Ali only won 1 or the most 2 rounds.
The widest judges (2) had it was 99-94.A
Although raters here may reflect some bias when most disagreed with the official verdict-many scoring it a draw-https://eyeonthering.com/boxing/drama-bahama-muhammad-ali-vs-trevor-berbick

It is hard not to give Ali at least the majority of rounds for the first half of the fight.
But then he tired, what was surprising is that what i call the Shell of the Corpse of the Ghost of Ali could put up any resistence whatsoever, let alone win rounds.

But I never have wanted tp bear actually watching that fight.

 

Benitez was on the downslide due to coke abuse

 

Taken back only because Duran never came close to dropping him or stopping in their 3 fights. I remember him been staggered a bit in one of the early rounds in the first fight but that’s about it.

 

Yeah but he didn’t go down and recovered. Hearns in their second fight really hurt him and dropped him. He had been dropped before but that was like the first time he looked really hurt.

 

I’ve never seen the fight honestly. Yeah I’m saying this all ironically to annoy the Mark guy.

 

The Macho man still beat Duran twice when they were both above 135.

 

Macho was a very good boxer. His antics sometimes overshadowed his talent.

 

Why don’t you use your powers of diagnosis through video and show us all the current fighters who have Parkinson’s?

Think of all the good you could do, Dr. Ant?

Because the Mayo Clinic did not find any. Ferdie Pacheco liked to claim later that he did but it is very well documented in his own words AT THE TIME that he was worried about Ali’s kidneys, not Parkinson’s or any other malady. And he also accepted the Mayo Clinic’s findings.

If you find out later that someone has a disease, you can in almost any case look back and say, ‘hmmm, now that I know this, I can perhaps see some things that might be related to that even though we didn’t know it at the time.’ But the most qualified doctors in the world didn’t see it at the time. The diagnosis came in 1984.

 

My friends, the Mayo Clinic did find Ali had trouble hopping, speaking, and touching his finger to his nose. Jonathan Eig in his exhaustive book about Ali utilized speech therapists to measure how many words per minute Ali spoke and they slowed and slowed throughout the years of his boxing career. We know he was diagnosed with Parkinsons in 1984. We don't know when he became symptomatic. Surely well before that. He was a genuine American hero and should have been enshrined in glass after he dispatched of George Foreman. He might still be with us. Never smoked, never drank,and never did drugs.
