This is how I’ll always remember Muhammad Ali, young, brash, smiling and with a whole universe of merriment and deviltry in those ever expressive eyes. Before the war took from him his best years. Before Joe Frazier, in righteous fury, won a epic decision against him in perhaps the greatest prize fight of all time. Before the bitter losses and glorious comebacks, before he and I passed together into middle age.

Keep your right up Champ...
