There's a video online as well, but I can't find it at the moment. Sad to see what Parkinson's Disease has done to this great fighter.

I've had the privilege of meeting him a couple times. He's still a very joyous person, and charismatic as hell. Don't count him out yet. :mst:

Thanks for sharing that. I heard he was nearby many years ago and I skipped a college exam and went to meet him. I have never regretted it.

I'm glad Ali hasn't wasted those years.

Ali could talk-the-talk but he could back it up and walk-the-walk (and that's no blarney ).

I never knew any of this, great find and thanks for sharing with us !!!
