Reading his body language for a split second I think he was totally confused emotionally looking his initial reaction that he was about to cry? Can anyone else see it? It happens at 3:19.

She said he was polite, engaging, interesting, and very humble and one of the nicest people she had ever met. What surprised her was that he wasn't at all like the bragging persona he portrayed to the media. She, who couldn't stand boxing, became a big fan of his.

I mean now I know Ali won but back then I just seen wepner go the distance and thought he won because I didn't know hoemw to score boxing of course at that age no one did I just thought wepner won and i was going to say that to the camera guy but then Ali showed up and I couldn't say it to his face i was scared he'd make me look like he made wepner and I didn't want that. But I took it as cool as a cucumber and so did he and I still have the autographed glove he gave all of us who were in the TV show part.

Anybody who ever had any doubt, about how special Ali was, I wish you could have the experience of seeing him interact with children. Not on television, but in real life, on the street. He could always put a frightened child at ease. But the most amazing thing he could do, on a regular basis, was make a baby who had been crying incessantly, immediately stop when he approached that baby. It was really something to behold. And I believe it was something not of this earth. Gods, all of them, bless Muhamed Ali.
