Take that gorilla. Frazier was not amused. Loved when Ali clowned around with the Beatles. Guy was a ton of fun, great champion.RIP to the greatest…. May you and Frazier have one more memorable bout from upstairs!

I saw him a few times in a night spot outside Pottsville when he was training in Deer Lake. It was quite a show when he came in with his entourage. I got his autograph on a napkin one night. Gave it to the girl I was with that night which was dumb.RIP Champ. I named my second son Clay after Ali. We routinely visit his training camp in Deer Lake which is now owned by a Harare instructor he worked with. It used to be visitor friendly but not so much these days. I think I will drive up there tomorrow.
He was truly a great one.

That was so cool Nellie, thank you. Never heard the song.
He used to spend a lot of evenings at the Abe Lincoln in Reading as well. The rumor always wa there were so many young boys and men in Reading that looked like him because he had so many lovers and he would meet them and carry on his affairs at the hotel upstairs from the bar.
That was about the same time that a buddy of mine was an assistant pro at Schuykill County CC. He went over to Deer Lake, met Ali and said it was a great time. Ali was very welcoming and engaging to his visiting fans.Skipped school and went to Deer Lake to see Ali train in 1973. Great experience. Not many people there and you could talk to him! A special day a long time ago.
You haven't? I was dating an upperclassman (who became a D1 AD) and we were all going around in the hallways at school singing this when it was released in the US. Glad to be able to share it.That was so cool Nellie, thank you. Never heard the song.

an amazing time in my life. I was in high school during his fight with Sonny Liston, bet $5 on Cassius Clay..,..The Louisville Lip.
Just got st got back from a visit to his Deer Lake camp. Spent many a day there as a kid in the 70s and it had a special chill today. If you're anywhere near it I suggest a visit. Owner was there today and vey gracious. Was just eerie being inside the gym again. Rest in peace Champ. Nobody did it better both in and outside the ring.RIP to the greatest….
