    Just watching a documentary on this fight. What an absolute abomination that people, many supposedly Ali's friends, allowed it to happen.

    Don't know if its available online but this is it

    http://espn.go.com/30for30/film?page=muhammad-and-larry

    Nevada boxing comission found before the fight he struggled to touch his own nose, couldn't hop, and struggled with speech and short term memory, yet still sanctioned the fight.

    I have all his fights on tape/dvd, I will see if I can sort them out and copy you one.
    It might take a while though, because I dont have them all on the boat and if its on tape I cant do it.

    It's probably the one Ali fight I don't think I could watch. Wrongly prescribed thyroid pills, already suffering the signs of Parkinsons. Not pretty to watch.

    That's very nice Mark ta, but I could probably find it on line. I would be interested in seeing this doc though with the background to the fight. I can usually dig out most things from the murky depths of the web. :)
