Som e people ju st d o n ’t know w hen to quit.
To no o n e ’s re a l s u rp rise , M u h am m ed Ali
c a m e out of re tire m e n t for the u m p teen th
tim e a n d signed a c o n tra c t to fight WBC
c h a m p L a rry H olm es. He did it in ty pical Ali
style, w ith a b o isterous p re s s c o n feren ce in
which he ta u n te d H olm es an d p ro cla im e d his
own g re a tn e s s .
Com e on, Ali. D on’t you think people a r e
getting ju s t a little bit tire d of your
th e a tric s? The first couple of tim e s, it w as
kind of am u sin g . Then it w as to le rab le . Now
it ’s dow nright boring.
Ali isn ’t som e hotshot kid, h e ’s a fat, 38
year-old boxer who is going to h a v e to work
his fanny off to g et in sh a p e to fight. T h at in
itself should be enough of a c h o re to keep him
occupied — in ste a d Ali chooses to e x e rc ise
his m outh.
“ I got speed an d e n d u ra n c e ; y o u ’d b e tte r
in c r e a s e y o u r i n s u r a n c e ,” h e ta u n te d
H o lm es, w ho j u s t r e a c h e d th e 3 0 -y ea r
p late au him self. Ali th en p ro ceed ed to m ak e
fun of H o lm es’ opponents, including the 254-
pound L eroy Jo n e s who he called , ‘‘the big,
fat g u y .”
Now t h a t ’s kind of like listen in g to K arl
M alden m ak e fun of J im m y D u ra n te ’s nose.
If anyone h a s seen Ali late ly , th e y ’d know he
looks so m eth in g like a big sn a k e th a t ju st
sw a llo w e d a g o a t. O r s w a llo w e d a
w a te r bed — a full one. Why does som eone
like th a t, esp ecially a supposedly m a tu re
m an of 38, h av e to re s o rt to n am e-callin g an d
tau n tin g to m a k e his c o m e b a c k ?
T h e a tric s. Ali is sim p ly try in g to build
him self up — e ith e r for his ad o rin g public or
to convince him self th a t he can do w hat no
m an h as e v e r done — win a fou rth w orld
heavyw eight crow n.
The task is m o n u m e n ta l, but then so a r e
the incentives. Ali is being g u a ra n te e d $8
m illion w hile the ch am p io n H olm es will
receiv e $4 m illion. A $4 m illion p a y d a y isn ’t
too bad, undoubtedly H o lm es’ h ig h est, but
should Ali be g ettin g tw ice a s m uch a s the
cham pion m a k e s?
H olm es h a s n ’t been silent th ro u g h o u t the
whole a ffa ir. He rem in d ed Ali th a t he h ad to
lose th re e tim es to be a b le to win th e crow n
th re e tim es. H olm es h a s n e v e r been b eaten.
In fa c t, L a rry H olm es is a w inner outside
the ring a s well. He is one of the m o st civic-
m inded people in sp o rts and he is re g u la rly
giving his tim e, a s well a s m oney, to th e
c a u se of c h a rity . B ut w hat is re a lly nice
about H o lm es’ p h ilan th ro p y is th a t he does it
q u ie tly , w ith o u t c a m e r a s o r a n y o th e r
fan fa re . In fa c t, h e ’s a lm o st e m b a rra s s e d by
it.
M uham m ad Ali will m eet L a rry H olm es
Ju ly 11 in Rio de J a n e iro , w h ere m o re than
150,000 sp e c ta to rs will likely be on han d . And
p erso n ally , it would be nice to se e H olm es
send the ex -ch am p back into re tire m e n t.
Ali had his reign. He did for boxing w hat no
m an h as been ab le to do for y e a rs , rek in d le
national an d in te rn atio n a l in te re s t in the
sp o rt. He m a y h a v e been the g re a te s t boxer
of all tim e ; no one will e v e r know. And he
m ay com e back to b eat H olm es.
I hope not. Ali’s tim e is p a st. He should
hav e re tire d g rac e fu lly w hen he h ad the
chance. But th e lu re of the lim elight an d the
big d o llars w as too m uch. Ali bom bed out a s
a diplom at an d a s an a c to r. If he bom bs out
a g a in st H olm es, people m ay fo rg et w hat he
w as in his p rim e an d re m e m b e r the failu re s.
W hatever h ap p en s, though, it should be an
in te restin g fight. Ali m a y be a t H olm es, who
h as n ev er fought a tru ly good bo x er in his
p rim e. But Ali isn ’t in his p rim e an d he m ay
need ev e ry bit of th a t $8 m illion for his
hospital bills.
