What did Muhammad Ali say before he stepped in the ring with Holmes 'im in the best condition of my life' FIND ME ONE sportswriter or reputable boxing historian that will say that Larry Holmes was in his prime.
I want to know why all old champs say that. Ali was getting his butt kicked in sparring. He was old, slow, overweight, had parkinsons and was taking eldopa (which sapped his strength) to make him stop shaking.
As he struggled into the ring a mere shadow of his former self, for some reason he said that he was in the best condition of his career. It was clear that he could barely hold up his hands.

maybe fighters say that to give themselves confidence and to give them a false hope.
No one wants to believe they are less a man than they were fifteen or twenty years ago. It's possible that Ali truly felt like he was in the best condition of his life. The mind is a mystifying thing.

Any Idiot could tell he wasn't in his best condition, he wasn't even in his best condition when he fought foreman, he was in better condition but not the best
