At the Atlanta Olympics Ali was lighting the torch but was shaking bad from Parkinson’s. The crowd was cheering. I felt sad because the Parkinson’s likely developed due to boxing. We ought to ban boxing.

At about age 40, M. Ali starred in his own autobiography about his career in boxing. The movie was entertaining and informative. There was humor when The Beast Larry Homes tried to tell the Ali group about George Forman. When he hits you your body is lifted off the ground. The Ali group were all crabbing off at Holmes. Then later on in the movie, Ali was in the ring with Forman. He’s hitting you so hard his punches are lifting you up off of the ground. Ali was being told by his own camp to throw in the towel. Ali went on to win the fight. Heavyweights were all the news back then.
