Muhammad aware of what to look for and he handled it on his own. He did his own thing. I never programmed him.
Any fighter didn't like Muhammad Ali should have his head examined.
This kid deserves anything good that happens to him. He's such a good guy. He's just the nicest human being you want to meet.
I loved the movie for the simple reason that I saw the scenes and I saw Muhammad working with these guys.
You're talkin' legit here.
