When you watch this video of the 1978 interview of Muhammad Ali by ABC’s Frank Gifford…..which took place after the incredible split decision fight between Champ Larry Holmes against challenger Ken Norton….you can already see the decay in his mind and his eyes….as he was already in the throws of pre-parkinson’s….as the bright eyes and sharp mind had already been beaten out of him in the 14 years since he had fought Sonny Liston…..and for those of us who loved The Greatest…..these were sad times because he still had fights with Larry Holmes and Trevor Berbick ahead of him….which only proved how really tough he was.

  • The Murmanschanns, what a duo, I remember them from this show, the Muppets, Sesame Street and other shows. They are the most unique mime artists to grace this Earth. I thought they were amazing and these two routines prove it.
