- A look back at the relationship of Muhammad Ali and Ferdie Pacheco, why their paths eventually diverged and how "The Greatest" became a cautionary tale for modern boxers and mixed martial artists.
Much more footage in this video than I'd usually use but I'd imagine some people are unfamiliar with Pacheco and the old clips of sports writers and boxing analysts discussing legends like Ali and Joe Frazier is always quality.

"You was right" Powerful!
Deep and depressing at the same time!
Seems that Ali didn't think his "Parkinsons" was unrelated to boxing.
That one line gave me goosebumps and brought a tear to my eye. So heart wrenching.
That made me sad - wow! I wonder in that moment if he would still do it again. Legendary status or just all-time great status. There was no need for more.
that phrase gave me the chills
Rest in peace, Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali, and Ferdie Pacheco. Thank you for this dope tribute to all of them.
Hands down best fucking channel on CZcams. Crisp, clean editing. Beautiful and most importantly thought provoking commentary. Bravo..
Thomas Evans could not agree more!!
Man that pic of Ali starring at the other corner with two black eyes whilst sitting reminds me of a wounded lion out in the Savannah, just fucking fighting until the body gives out. Just sheer warrior spirit. Dana's right though, you need people who are more rational thinkers in this business of untamed, just ready to live and die by the sword warriors...cause yes! sometimes you have to save the fighters from themselves! Great video again!
MrWarxhe
I agree. Also, it looks very bad for Boxing and UFC if a fighter is killed in competition. Protecting the product is a very wise business move
MrWarxhe He reminds me of Flamma the gladiator
Muhammad ali + molly whoppery = combat entertainment heavenly goodness
Thank you for this piece. And thank you for not giving up on CZcams just yet. You are appreciated more than you know.
Lousson2695 agree 1000%
This a weird one, Dana is 100% right to pull Mark after saying his heads screwed.
Yet Mark is 110% right to ask why Dana let 3 juiced up Gorillas beat the ever loving fuck out of him AND keep their paycheques then.
Kermit easy, one costs The UFC a ton of money and the other doesn't.
Wasn't Lesnar the only one who was allowed to juice and beat Hunt after USADA? Who are the other two?
Nicola Ferrari he didn't get beat by other 2
As a 90s baby, all I’ve really ever been told about is the legacy of Ali. Even the coverage I’ve seen/read about him in the latter stages of his career was more about his *body* failing him, not his mind or how the two coincided in his downfall. I legit have never seen that clip of him slurring his words like that and it saddens me how much of his decline has been glossed over and hidden.
Aside from how generally amazing this video was, I thank you for educating me more on Ali. I’m already a sub but I really have to recommend your channel to my friends or I’d be doing you a disservice. All your vids are amazing but I think this is your best yet
That’s absolutely true
thekornreeper his story is well worth checking out. pretty incredible
19:45
It was criminal to allow him to box when he was obviously slurring his words.
Doctors and promoters should have gone to jail.
damn
as much as we hate on Floyd for having boring fights
he's at least gonna be healthy when he's done
Ali was a warrior but damn the poor guy was reduced to a shell of himself its so saddening
Dangerously Dubious Double Davidson Fuck Mayweather who dissed The Champ Ali.
25 minutes of greatness
Please, do more boxing videos, this is some top notch content! U got another sub
I was ringside for the hunt bigfoot fight. I cannot imagine ever going to another fight and seeing something that amazing.
whoa that ending gave me goosebumps
I fucking know right!
FrankieGold Almost put to tears listening to Ali
Agreed. Sad shit. The Wop lays out a great story though. That's partially why it's so riveting. The power of film.
To this channel is mandatory for me to like without evaluating the content. It is that good
N. Amauri Cristiano that attitude right there is exactly why we're all slaves. Think for yourselves. Don't be a sheep. I see this comment all the time. Ali put that same trust and confidence late into his career, and he was shamelessly exploited.
shut u ya ball bag
N. Amauri Cristiano same
SourHemlock that comment right there is why I don’t care about you, what you think, and everything else you stand for
N. Amauri Cristiano I agree. Never has he had a dog shit episode.
Ferdie Pacheco’s autobiography is a great read.
“Blood in My Coffee: The Life of the Fight Doctor: Ferdie Pacheco” [2005]
That ending sent chills through my spine.
For real, man.
I hate how youtube is "strong arming" creators into nerffing their videos these days. The bleeps r rediculus. It's just another form of censorship. You can't argue how creators are now forced to work within certain guidelines to keep monetization. Def hinders the work. I salute this channel 4 putting up with it. Better man than i
Hey man, well he set up a Patreon as well so he can do it uncensored if you wanna chuck our man a dollar
CZcams thinks they're too big to be affected by it. Puttin nails in their own arrogant coffin
Lost Keys thats what happens when you put leftists in charge.
Welcome to capitalism
I never knew this. One of Ali's true friends, a Dr. Freddie Pacheco, who sincerely Loved him told the truth as a friend, advised Ali to stop fighting. A friend whom Loved him so much, had to quit, leave his friend because he could not watch Ali kill himself. Wow! Thank you for this video MixedMollyWhoppery. In your field, you are also the Greatest of all times. Peace my brother.
One of Ferdie’s last interviews were about the Inoki vs Ali. When they witnessed and learned of Inoki’s intention fully demolish Ali. Ferdie and Dundee stepped in to renegotiate the rules which led for the full protection of Ali against joint locks, takedowns, and stand up Kicks. Inoki while laying down- destroyed Ali’s legs. That was the end of Ali as we knew it.
Absolutely thought provoking and masterfully executed. Thank you MMW for a wonderful presentation on health, sports and ethics amongst others. Terrific work.
i havent started but i can tell its going to be a great video
Man, this was an amazing mini-documentary. Sign a deal with Netflix already!
Imagine if you did a collaboration with Boxing Legends TV...
The Isaiahnator hell yeah
Holy shit that’d be awesome
don't forget mind smash YELLOW
Mindsmash doesn't have remotely the same level of content
or Motivedia or Official Hancho Boxing
This might be your best video yet. I can't imagine how much work they require to produce. Respect.
Outstanding sir! I've seen Pacheco in several boxing documentaries but never knew who he was, or of his connection to Ali. A fascinating but tragic video. You continue to excel in each video you post.
Man that ending got me bad. Such a sacrifice for being the baddest motherfucker to walk the planet.
The Joe Rogans, Bas Rutans and Brendan Shuabs of this world all acknowledge your greatness and I hope you never stop making these videos for MMA and fighting.
do they? where? when?
Nadav Drewe ya im curious too
Nadav Drewe I'm not sure the exact number but Bas mentions the Khabib video by Mixed Mollywhoppery on Joe's podcast. It's the podcast with him and mauro I think or a fight companion with Bas
Tekhle Beyene yeah, that's what I was actually mentioning
thx for reply guys #mmaCommunity
Man, I got a little choked up at the end there. Your best vid yet I think
You and boxing legends tv are the two best combat sport channels on CZcams. Keep doing what your doing, quality content man
Another great video bud,1 thing you always seem to always catch onto is what some people may wrongly think you are alluding to and tell them already that you're not saying that,very self aware..brilliant content everytime..'you was right'-heartbreaking.
Another awesome video. Cheers Molly
Respect...One of your best MollyWop
Hard to make a better video then this one
than. not then
So I was a TV photog in Tucson and one of the older photogs told me how he interviewed Muhammad Ali before he died. He talked about how sad it was and that always stuck with me because we both loved watching boxing matches on slow nights in the newsroom, but he got a glimpse into what it costs fighters. That story always stuck with me.
What a great piece you have put together there. The end comment.....closed it off absolutely brilliantly....felt it. Cannot press the play button fast enough when you post new videos. Great work!
I have been watching your videos for about a year now, and I feel like no one else out there makes a fight video like you. I love your videos and can not wait for the next one.
Solid work again, champ

Your work is art i love all your videos bro
Wow, that last bit " you was right" hit me hard and the angle of the video justified. So true, these fighters do need protection from themselves at times in some instances.
Brilliant as always phenomenal channel
