He was already showing symptoms of Parkinson's Disease and was taking diuretics for weight loss. The irony is he looked like a million bucks. His alter ego Bundini Brown wanted him to go on but Herbert Muhammad had seen enough. After the fight Larry Holmes was literally crying because he was one of Ali's sparring partners and loved him like so many. Ali asked him if you loved me why did you beat me up.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
