It was 1980 and Muhammad Ali had no business being in the ring against a younger and stronger Larry Holmes, no matter how much his entourage kept telling him how good he looked in training. ''I'm Dark Gable,'' Ali said, much to the delight of the writers who could barely conceal their glee in having Ali in front of them once again. It was my first Ali fight and, like most of the 25,000 in the crowd outdoors at Caesars Palace that night, I hoped against hope I would see the Ali of old in the ring.
