Brilliant article! I like this New York Jew and his winning mentality. I watch boxing and am glad to see someone representing us in that sport as well as he has done. Fight on!
As a tall skinny Akron kid, basketball was what we did. But later high school and after, Muhammad Ali galvanized the world, and me. His induction refusal motivated lots of us, and my high Draft number in The Last Draft kept me from dying in Vietnam. Back then it was pay-for-view since going was prohibitively expensive.
I met Muhammad years later, as a curator returning a lifesize painting of him borrowed for an exhibition.

Thank you.
I’m fortunate enough to know Cletus and Jessie. They are not only exceptional as individuals but a beyond amazing couple.
What an incredible story!
