That was a great encapsulation of his career, really funny too. When I was about 9 years old, our school took a field trip to a gym where Ali was training, and we got to see him spar. For such a big guy, I couldn't believe how quick he would jump rope and cross over.

I envy you!!! Ali was always one of my heroes in life. A great pugilist and an even greater human being. I would have loved to see him in person. I watch a lot of his matches on Youtube (and Mike Tyson too). Just a plain treat to see him fight. Graceful as a ballerina in the ring and as loquacious as a politician outside of the ring!
