    He had a huge entourage as well.

    Ali had a great charisma as well, try telling him no he would convince you otherwise.

    Heard about this fight, Ali's legs were very sore after it. Complete farce to allow this to happen as well.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    If I remember rightly he had to fly shortly after and his doctor who had already prescribed dodgy advice and medicines to him was very worried about DVT and blood clots

    How did they allow Ali to fight anybody after the Thriller In Manila? I have no doubt Ali's condition today would be far better if he had retired in October 1975.
