Upstairs here I have an original copy of his LP "I am the Greatest!" On a nearby book shelf, are scrapbooks from well before he won the heavyweight title, changing his name to Cassius X and then Muhammad Ali. The Champ was an essential supporter of my late friend Rubin. My brother would stay in Ali's training camp later in the Champ's historic career. Ali was, of course, much bigger than boxing.
