Ali vs Wilt Chamberlain

[greynotsoold]

Jack Hurley started the whole conversation about Chamberlin becoming a boxer. During the 1950s, the Globetrotters were being managed by an old boxing guy and he hired other old boxing promoters to do the advance pr work for the team.
When the boxing game was slow Jack Hurley did two seasons promoting the Globetrotters, one of those being the season Chamberlain played for them. Hurley knew nothing about basketball but he had great relations with sportswriters from his years in boxing (44 in 1959). He would do interviews and talk about how he wanted to make Chamberlin the heavyweight champion of the world.

When he slapped his hand and Wilt just turned. "I turn real easy...till U sign the paper" Convinced me, he may have been brought down to size: That was the response of a man with fear IMO.
