Ali's physical skills disappeared by this time but his heart never left him.

Ali fought till the end, his daughter said all his organs shut down besides his heart and he lived 30 more minutes without anything but his heart functioning and then he finally died. He really never wanted to ever go down and always stayed fighting

The fact that Ali was able to stand toe to toe with a world champion while being in such obvious poor health shows what an absolute machine this man was. I can't even imagine how long he could have fought had he not been dealt that horrible disease. The man was having trouble just functioning, but once the bell rang, he hung in there and battled. Absolutely incredible. I can't imagine anyone else in history being able to do this.

This is a very sad fight to watch. Muhammad Ali is a shell of his former self here. He’s old and he’s sick, but he still had his heart. And seeing him finally do the shuffle at 41:10 and getting cheered by the crowd when he does it is just the best thing ever. What a legend, man.

Berbick, in his prime here, and he still can't put away what remains of Ali.

at this point Ali can not even touch his nose tip with his finger due parkisons side effects, but still manages to fight and last all 12 rounds, a true legend

I came here after finding out that Mike Tyson really tried to avenge Ali by trying to kill Trevor Berbick in the ring

My heart hurts knowing that his mental and physical condition was already taking a toll on him. I will always remember that he was the Greatest in my era. I’m now working in Louisville, Kentucky so I’m going to visit his old stomping ground( where he started his career as a boxer). I’m a proud Ford employee and it’s good to be here.

It's sad watching this. Ali was old (for a boxer) and was showing early signs of Parkinson's. He shouldn't have been allowed to fight in this condition.

A quote from the 2nd round that accurately sums up this fight: "Ali's reflexes are gone. He knows what to do but he can't do it."

The post fight interview! 😩😩 can’t believe they let Ali fight but you know what, at least he went out on his shield and stayed on his feet till the end. What a warrior

I must admit that when Ali came out for the 8th round dancing like he used to in his prime, my eyes became misty. The crowd also cheering him on as if he was a baby learning to walk added more to that sentiment.

Ali's management should have been jailed for allowing him to fight after the Holmes debacle.

I cant even imagine the pain he mustv been going through not just physically ut mentally. To know exactly how to beat someone but ur body wont let u, a true legend to even take the fight on!!

This fight took place in Nassau Bahamas because no American athletic commission would allow Ali to fight in such poor health. He was still a tough bastard. He went the distance despite suffering from the effects of Parkinson's disease. Huge respect for such a legendary career.

Even in the end of his career, Ali was strong and brave, but time beats everyone, as Rocky told Creed. Ali is a legend, we miss you forever, RIP, Ali. PS - Ali should have retired in the end of the 70's.

Poor Ali was so far gone here, but damn in Round 08 he was fighting like he was still in his prime. Nice to see him pull one final rabbit out of the hat

41:12 I just wanted to cry When He started dancing for final time ... His movements like walking was already affected by that fuc*ing parkinson disease , but he danced well like his old times . He was a legand , The greates of all time . رحمت الله علیه

It's tragic and almost criminal that Ali was allowed this fight in his condition

Man. It’s hard to let our hero’s go. In the words of Apollo creed, “it’s a shame you gotta get old. “ thanks for the memories and inspiration from all you great champs of yesterday.

Oh my God. Ali's ringwalk looked more like a death march, and look how much trouble Ali had climbing into the ring. This was insanity.

Absolute madness that a Ali was allowed to fight in this condition.

So incredibly sad knowing ali knew exactly how to beat him and how fast he wanted to punch but couldn't, actually heartbreaking.

Actually shocked at how good Ali looked compared to his previous fight with Holmes.

At nearly 40 years of age, and way past his prime and in the early stages of Parkinsons disease he still went the distance with a future world heavyweight champion. and lots of people thought he`d won that fight.. Ali is the greatest of all time.. In his pomp he was unbeatable...

Muhammad Ali the old lion with his condition should have retired years before this match. He still showed a glimpse of his old greatness against a younger, hungrier, more fit fighter. He brought both tears and joy to his lifelong fans.

This fight was a victory in itself.the fact Ali actually made it competitive,and landed punches,and did his best ,when I'll,respect to Ali

Muhammad Ali is a great personality that we cannot give him his due, no matter how hard we try to describe him... He is better than wearing boxing gloves and the most noble of them inside the ring throughout history... May God have mercy on him and fulfill his wish for I heard him say I want to see heaven

Ali truly is suffering from his debilitating and ultimately demising disease, but he still demonstrates the lion heart of his. RIP My Man

This is so very hard to watch. The greatest fighter of modern times, and you can see the Parkinson's fighting him. His handlers ought to be ashamed.

"Ali's reflexes are gone. He knows what to do, but he can't do it." "He's got the moves....he is just too slow" "I hope he never fights again" *STILL CANT PUT ALI AWAY*

Who’s here after the Tyson interview

Ali's heart is unmatched!!!

I am amazed that Ali could put up such a good fight knowing the state he was in.

1:00:21 "Surely this was enough to convince me... i saw the shots couldnt take them... father time just got... thats right i think thats the trouble father time caught me, in my young days i wouldn't have had much trouble but i think time got me... I don't think I'll change my mind"

Much respect to the Greatest Of All Time, Muhammad Ali. Father Time catches up with us all, but he went out on his feet, swinging like the true warrior that he was.

Those words "you made me" by trevor berbick to ali was most respectful.

When Ali gets in the ring if you watch his trainers ALL OF THEM KNOW THIS IS WRONG! Like the commentator said " Nobody's smiling"...the unnecessary punishment 💔😢...RIP Ali 🙏

Dam crazy to see ali at the end of his career and berbrick at his prime and still couldn’t get Ali down this is amazing ali inspires me to keep going in life rip to The greatest boxer of all time

Muhammad ali was an absolute legend for showing such a tremendous performance even in that condition 😭😭im so sad seeing him like that and STILL fighting, RIP Muhammad Ali you will always be known as a legend

saddest....thing i ever seen in sports...Ali was one of the greatest men this country has ever seen...a true champion...a peace loving man.....and a lover of all people.... certainly the most courageous.

If you’re a true fighter, you can see it clearly that Trevor was taking it easy. Thank you, Trevor for not doing our champ like that. 💯

Ali was so handsome he look about 30 years old in this fight..He had the spirit of a lion, a true king..

I absolutely love Ali, I started watching him as a boy when I was 7, back in 1963. But it was disgraceful that they sanctioned this fight.

Lets put it this way. It was a disgrace it was allowed .... BUT... for an Ali that was ailing this was a tremendous performance. He went the distance with a future champ, got in some nice combos and even won the odd round!! Amazing man! A better way to go out than the Holmes fight.

Ali looked more alive in this fight than his fight with Holmes. He couldn’t throw a single combination in that fight . It was a year before this fight

It simply amazes me that punches to Ali's stomach and ribs never appeared to bother him - I could be wrong but I've never noticed it...

This is sad that they actually allowed him to fight in this condition. Berbick was classy. He said he said to him early in the fight “do your best”. He really didn’t want to hurt him.

Ali is struggling to speak at this point... WHY did anyone sanction him fighting in this condition??

I watched him through the 70`s. Didn`t like him back then because of his mouth, I always rooted against him. But after I got older I realized what a great fighter he was. R.I.P sir. You too Trevor. R.I.P

"In the clearing stands a boxer, A fighter by his trade, And he carries the reminder Of every glove that laid him low And cut him 'till he cried out In his anger and his pain I am leaving, I am leaving But the fighter still remains." - Paul Simon

Ali ainda encontrou forças para dançar, e jabear. O maior de todos os tempos.👏👏👏

59:30 Berbick still gives his respect to Ali and recognizes greatness. Respect

The saddest fight I ever watched, given what Ali was showing up to the time of the fight with Larry Holmes.:( You don't have to be a neurosurgeon to see that Ali was barely on his feet, let alone keep up with young Berbick

Muhammad Ali: GOAT. Humanitarian. Civil Rights Activist. Genius Athlete. Comedian, Entertainer and one of the most down to earth human beings that ever lived. The Champ! RIP 👊🏻

« إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا » 🥰 سبحان الله ... الحمد لله ... لا إله إلا الله .... الله أكبر .... لا حول ولاقوة إلا بالله ..

Kudos to berbick. He came to Ali's corner, hugged the great man and if i am not mistaken he did say that he loved Ali. He respect Ali. RIP to both of them.

Ali is definitly the hardest chin of the history of boxing. Watch him fighting against berbick, one month away from 40 years old, already struggling for almost 2 years against parkinson desease, out of shape ( 238 pounds) and still see him ending the fight standing up is amazing. The man is definitly the hardest chin ever and the greatest of ALL times. I can picture in my mind, Ali in his prime against this Very same berbick... He would fool around for 3 or 4 rounds, then he would Get serious for more 4 or 5 rounds and KOs berbick somewhere around 7th and 10th round. Ali the GOAT

When Ali stopped dancing,,the show was over , history was complete . I'm Glad I got to see him fight!

One of the saddest fights I've ever seen. Muhammad you'll always be loved. The greatest of all time.

i love you Muhammed Ali💪

This is the first time I've even allowed myself to watch this fight that's how much love and adoration I had for Ali the G.OA.T

Bobby Womack singing in the beginning is the only reason I clicked on this video. What a soulful voice! I just keep rewinding and rewinding.

Aliii the GREATEST OF ALL TIIME !!! See the heart in that man nothing but inspiration

You are still the greatest of all time in boxing world champion... Muhammad Ali... ❤❤❤

In life everything changes but the great ones such as Muhammad Ali remain the lion whose roar was his enemy trembling ,,,, God has mercy on him now he is in paradise ,,, Mohammed Ali legend will not be repeated Everything done was beautiful and distinctive I loved him I was 10 years old now I am 55 years old I will love him more and respect him for ever

This is why legends are legends. As sad as it was, was just as great!

he fights until the end despite the Parkinson state.. true legend..i don't think anyone else can insist like this facing the world champion! a true legend, ALI

You can tell Berbick didn’t want to hurt him. Hell he flat out carried him and tried to make a show out of it. Shows his respect for Ali. Good dude.

It just goes to show you when Ali was in his prime how good he was.. Time has a way of catching up with all..

“Father Time caught me” - Muhammad Ali

Ali....te ame,te amo y te amaré por siempre...soy tu fan...desde que tenía 9 años...mientras pensabas yo rezaba....SIEMPRE SERÁS INMORTAL....y se que ya dios te abraza....desde venezuela.

Even with unmistakable signs of early Parkinsons Ali outpointed Berbick. Amazing. Berbick only won because he compensated for his lack of ability with a lot of energy.

ALI SHOULD HAVE RESIGN IN 1978, AFTER THE RE-MATCH WITH LEON SPINKS

الأسطورة محمد علي أفضل ملاكم على مر التاريخ رحمه الله وأسكنه فسيح جناته يارب العالمين تونسي مر من هنا اهلا وسهلا بكم 💯👋👌💪😊🤗🤫🤫🤫😊🤗👌💛💛💛🤫🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸💯💯💯💯👋👋💪💪😚😚😊😊🤗🤗👌👌💛💛🤫🤫🤔🇹🇳😏😏💙💜❤️💚🧡

Don’t know why couldn’t stop my tears watching Ali’s face 😢

I don’t want to be disrespectful for Berbick in anyway, but he fought a 40 year old man, with very noticeable symptoms of Parkinson, who at that time was slurring his speech, and barely winning. This really show how great Ali was.

win or loose? he is always the champ! you only have to look at the crowd to know who is the greatest of all time. without him, there is no boxing, only $$$$$$.

Ali has gone the way of so many great champions. He fought past the point of immortality. Exactly when that was I am not sure. All I know for sure is he did!

From sportswriter Hugh McIlvanney: "To see (Ali) lose to such a moderate fighter in such a grubby context was like watching a king riding into permanent exile on the back of a garbage truck."

I usually score this fight for Berbick, but today I scored the fight 4-4-2, a draw (96-96). This has always been a fight, even in Ali’s condition, where I thought it was always close enough for Ali to have won it. The last time I scored this fight, I’m pretty sure I scored 6 rounds for Berbick and 4 for Ali; but it just seemed closer this morning. Berbick still pulled it off, but an old, shot Ali with the first signs of brain damage and Parkinson’s still showed a fighting heart and spirit. Maybe he shouldn’t have been in there, but given that the damage was already done - it’s kind of nice to see him end his career this way in a 10 Round UD loss than a 11th round TKO against Holmes. I’d rather have seen this Ali against Holmes, but I still don’t think Ali could have lasted fifteen at that point. I just love this fight because Ali still had something and since the damage was already done, it was a fine fight to go out on.

Ali in his prime would of won in two rounds vs this bum

An absolute warrior. He ended it with his boots on and even pushed himself to dance late in the fight. Maybe soaking it in one last time, pushing himself to the edge. And even in this bad of shape, Berbick couldn't put him away.

Going through with this fight showed incredible heart by Ali, though in a way it is also sad that his career ended in such a way. First the disaster that was the Holmes fight and then Berbick shown here. He will forever be regarded as the greatest boxer of all time nonetheless, and Trevor Berbick was fortunate to receive on the job training in what it means to be a champion.

a true legend will always give a good fight even in a sick condition

To see Ali dancing in the last three rounds, in his condition, was amazing. The fight was definitely closer than the judges saw it. If Ali was in a little bit better shape, he may have won the fight. I have wondered if the judges rendered that decision to discourage Ali from fighting again.

He basically had Parkinson's here and still lasted 12 rounds with a world champion Ali is the greatest Best skill Best chin Best heart

This is not as bad as I remember, it's the Larry Holmes fight that stands out as Ali's last fight to me. Angelo Dundee could sure yell very loud and that stoppage was the end Imo. This seemed more like an exhibition farewell match.

Sad to see a hero deteriorate like that, but so impressive to see someone about one third of the fighter he use to be still hold off the top contenders.

Just a shadow of himself - could barely still talk -and still kept it close is more amazing than anything else.

Even though Ali's skills are gone, he was the better man

You could tell that Ali knew that the good days were over, sad watching him 😢

Can't bear to see this video ... My prayer for the legend

He was still Boxing well though to be battling parkinsons and still be able to hold his own in round one is amazing. RiP Ali

I like the respect they had for each other on the end of the match

Muhammad Ali and Trevor Berbick are very remembered around the world. Both boxing legends rest in peace.

Nothing sadder than seeing the old warrior king in defeat.

Real shit He still the all time heavy weight champion of the world hands down.

Berwick has my respect. To me he was trying to avoid hitting Ali in the head as much as possible

First time I ever watched this fight, I'd always heard it was a massacre, but this fight was closer than I'd heard. Ali took some punishment for sure but he still had his moments and didn't really humiliate himself. In his prime Berbick would have been gone in two rounds.
