My dad met him once in the 60's when he was working the front desk at one of the fancy new york hotels. Says Ali was the most humble celebrity he ever met, no demands at all just a simple room.

And he has really enormous hands.

re:"""The champ has been at the crossroads of some of the most provocative issues of our time," he said, mentioning civil rights, the Vietnam War, religious tolerance and the quest for peace."""
