Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023
He really was the last great heavyweight boxer. Boxing is the art of defence and Ali's anticipation and evasion through his superior footwork endurance and devastating jab set him apart from every great heavyweight fighter and brawler to call themselves champion since.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
When I was growing up Ali v Frazier were the biggest sporting events on tv. Everyone watched them. What champions they were.
I loved the wit of Ali as much as his skill in the ring. But above all what he stood for. He was an inspiration to so many in the world.
I had the pleasure of meeting him briefly in Atlanta during the Olympics. His presence and the aura around him were something I'll never forget. Grown men hanging around him were acting like small children around Santa Claus. A truly amazing man.

I am envious that you got to meet him. He's one on my list that I missed out on but from your description it sounds exactly how I would have expected it to have been like.
