Jack Dempsey's wife revealed why Ali told Jack that he really wasn't the greatest and who really was.

LeRoy Neiman described in detail Ali's reactions during watching Lewis vs Tyson together.

And so much more "Muhammad Ali: Portrait of a Champion"...

Swarms of fans suddenly descended on the joint within minutes. Ali was so kind and obligatory to all the fans and awestruck people that he totally forgot he was there with his daughter, drove home, then remembered and came back and picked her up. Ali was the greatest peoples champ ever, never turned down or big timed anyone. Straight from Laila too.
