What made Ali (Clay) almost cancelled his trip to Rome Olympic that made his trainer Joe Martin took hours to persuade Ali to go to Rome? And what was the silly solution taken, so Clay finally agreed to go to Rome?

I think he was afraid of flying, so he packed a parachute

Yep. Clay bought the parachute with his own money! He prefered taking a train from Louisville to Rome rather than flying

:P

Well, then he missed out on a wonderful trip. That beautiful scenery of the Atlantic Ocean from an Amtrak coach is something I will never forget

Beware... there's a "Cassandra Crossing" in the Atlantic!
