Description

For fight fans and lovers of greatness we have the man who floated like a butterfly, stung like a bee and shook up the world, Muhammad Ali. In his career he won 56 fights and only lost five. On Oct. 29, 1960, he made his fight debut, the same year he threw his Olympic medal into the Ohio River after being refused service at a restaurant. On this day we caught up with the champ while he was in the hospital. At the time he said he would fight again, and he did, losing to Larry Holmes in an 11 round TKO and in 10 rounds to Trevor Berbick in 1981. The Holmes fight, they said, contributed to his Parkinson's syndrome. But as you will hear, he always kept his dignity. The photo is from another interview at the Coach House Inn in Milwaukee.
