    There's a good documentary done by ESPN's 30 for 30 called Muhammad and Larry. It was hard to watch at times for me seeing Ali preparing for a fight in that state of health. The fight never should've happened. Try to track it down or torrent it if you can.

    ^This... It's hard to watch.

    That said Larry would have always been trouble for Ali. (But that's another thread)

    How good was Ali in this fight? Tex Cobb landed on Larry Holmes more, a couple years later. Let's think about that for a second.

    Angelo Dundee was not in command of that corner for a long time and Ali was his own promoter and manager, forget about Ferdie Pacheco or any other bum, that's why!

    Ali looked like a 50 year old in that inteview, and he "fought" like a 50 year old in the actual fight. :-(
