Cassius Clay looks as if he took about five too many shots to the head.

I'm not even sure he ever took 5 shots to the head period. Granted, he looks like an aged, professional boxer would, but in the ring, his accomplishments are impressive, regardless of what I think of his out of the ring persona.

***Cassius Clay looks as if he took about five too many shots to the head.****

Cassius Clay was the most dispised fighter in America because of his big mouth. When he came out against the Viet Nam war the makeover by the MSM began!

It was SMOKIN’ JOE FRASIER who landed a good punch which knocked the smartass out of Ali. Ali still won that bout but SMOKIN’ JOE’S punch and left Ali permanently punch drunk.

He's an ass and a draft dodger and he's fair game about such things.

Not sure his looks are fair game, he looks so bad because he's got Parkinson's Disease.

“As if?”

There isn’t any doubt about that...he is a case study of what happens to boxers who stick around too long.

I’ve often wondered which fight did the most damage. It was probably accumulated damage, though Larry Holmes really did a job on him.

He has had Parkinsons for more than 20 years.

Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1984, a disease that affects movement and eventually speech. Unlike many boxers, Ali took few shots to the head due to his lightning quickness and agility.
