Before their infamous fight, Ali can be seen mocking Larry Holmes saying he will KO Ali in 3 rounds. Holmes being frustrated and also joking around, slaps Ali!
Ali wasn't just a boxer, but a great entertainer. Always had the wit, humor, and sharp tongue to go along with it. A showman. The way he leaned over, and started laughing, saying "I'm gonna fall in 3" was some funny shit. Then, after the slap, the "you crazy, you slapped me" is pure comedic gold. He didn't even have his eyes open, when the "slap" was delivered, and i don't even think he cared. It was all about the response. Funny shit. RIP Ali.
Ali was already unwell and showing major Parkinson’s symptoms at this point which was why Holmes was able to get away with the slap. Ali wasn’t as sharp as he once was.
@@neymarthegoldenboy4560 Yeah, he was definitely showing signs of parkinson's at this point. Holmes certainly didn't beat a 100% Ali. He still had his wit though.
@@181le6 Even Frazier and Norton didn't beat a 100% Ali to be fair. He wasn't the same when hd came back from the ban but could still fight with the best, I'm just making a statement though, I know you most likely know that. And that's why Ali is considered the best heavyweight of all time, the version in the sixties.

BS he ass whooped the supposed media hyped up greatest and drilled Parkinson's into that draft dodging coward clay deserved what he got he's the most overrated HW of all time
don king the greatest best promoter ever go after the one that put there white faces on music covers while blacks did the singing makeing money out of blacks
@@croftonjohn4466 He ripped off his own kind. Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Tim Witherspoon, Larry Holmes and others. He's a scoundrel and a thief. And music being made with white faces whilst black people sang the lyrics has nothing to do with boxing.
