Muhammad Ali and The Fight Doctor - A Cautionary Tale.

  • A look back at the relationship of Muhammad Ali and Ferdie Pacheco, why their paths eventually diverged and how "The Greatest" became a cautionary tale for modern boxers and mixed martial artists.
    Much more footage in this video than I'd usually use but I'd imagine some people are unfamiliar with Pacheco and the old clips of sports writers and boxing analysts discussing legends like Ali and Joe Frazier is always quality.

      Seems that Ali didn't think his "Parkinsons" was unrelated to boxing.

    This a weird one, Dana is 100% right to pull Mark after saying his heads screwed.
    Yet Mark is 110% right to ask why Dana let 3 juiced up Gorillas beat the ever loving fuck out of him AND keep their paycheques then.

    Man that pic of Ali starring at the other corner with two black eyes whilst sitting reminds me of a wounded lion out in the Savannah, just fucking fighting until the body gives out. Just sheer warrior spirit. Dana's right though, you need people who are more rational thinkers in this business of untamed, just ready to live and die by the sword warriors...cause yes! sometimes you have to save the fighters from themselves! Great video again!

      I agree. Also, it looks very bad for Boxing and UFC if a fighter is killed in competition. Protecting the product is a very wise business move

    As a 90s baby, all I’ve really ever been told about is the legacy of Ali. Even the coverage I’ve seen/read about him in the latter stages of his career was more about his *body* failing him, not his mind or how the two coincided in his downfall. I legit have never seen that clip of him slurring his words like that and it saddens me how much of his decline has been glossed over and hidden.
    Aside from how generally amazing this video was, I thank you for educating me more on Ali. I’m already a sub but I really have to recommend your channel to my friends or I’d be doing you a disservice. All your vids are amazing but I think this is your best yet

    One of Ferdie’s last interviews were about the Inoki vs Ali. When they witnessed and learned of Inoki’s intention fully demolish Ali. Ferdie and Dundee stepped in to renegotiate the rules which led for the full protection of Ali against joint locks, takedowns, and stand up Kicks. Inoki while laying down- destroyed Ali’s legs. That was the end of Ali as we knew it.
