Muhammad Ali, Heavyweight Champion of the World and a leading Civil Rights activist in 1993. Ali and I first met in 1984 at the Joe Louis Gym in Venice, California where he spent 10 minutes a week in conversation for 2 years when I was co-owner and trainer of the IBF Cruiser Weight champion Marvin Camel. Ali's first roaring words to me when we first met were: "Who's Rolls Royce out front is parked in my Rolls Royce spot?" I laughed, but I moved my company car...I was 26.
