Dire que s'il n'avait pas fait ses quatre combats en trop Ali aurait peut-être fini en bien meilleure formehttps://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2017/07/1487382298-risitasdepressif.png
"Following an Ali victory against the hard-hitting Earnie Shavers in September 1977, Pacheco performed a post-fight battery of reflex tests on Ali. After Ali didn't perform at a level that would be requisite for being able to protect himself in the ring, an alarmed Pacheco recommended that Ali retire immediately from boxing. When Ali refused, Pacheco decided that from a medical perspective, he couldn't ethically continue as Ali's primary physician and left the fighter's camp.
Pacheco later explained that "The New York State Athletic Commission gave me a report that showed Ali's kidneys were falling apart. I wrote to Angelo Dundee, Ali's trainer, his wife and Ali himself. I got nothing back in response. That's when I decided enough is enough."[5][6] Ali fought four more matches (losing three) after Pacheco left his team before finally retiring in late 1981.
Despite their disagreement, Pacheco and Ali remained friends.[4] The two were reunited in person for a final time in 2002, when Ali, who was by then suffering the acute effects of Parkinson's syndrome, told his former physician, "You was right."[1]"
