One of the biggest highlights of my life was being alive to witness this man's life and career. How well I remember him being disparaged by my adult relatives in the 60s after he changed his name and refused the draft. Even at my younger age I had listened to his reasons and thought, 'You know, he's got a valid point'. It took several years before people finally came around. Now he's a hero to be admired. When people refer to him as 'the greatest', they aren't just referring to his boxing.

When Ali boxed we had no t. v In Srilanka, even radio was not with many. To listen to the fight commentary, we'd fight to get close. And generally swing punches too, and and sometimes hit one another. He was known in all corners of the island. His picture was every where. After every fight, new pictures were circulating. What an era. Never again Will the world see his likes again. We were lucky.

[@DavidJsmith-dk5tf]

Tyrone : I was a big fan too. Some fights I heard on radio, but I was lucky enough to see most on television and some were actually shown as they happened, on Cinema screens. I'm sure I adored the champ as much as you all did ! Yes, those were great days, and we were very lucky to be alive then. Best wishes to you ! P.s. I hope none of you got hurt fighting each other at the radio commentary. Lol
