    Question Remember THIS Guy?

    Completely unrelated in ANY way to the context of my [immediate] *previous thread on Boxing Day. Just mere coincidence it happens to tie-in with the remark I'd made in *its last paragraph.

    http://www.channel4.com/news/olympic...sius-clay-1960 ... - if you're of a corresponding generation - in order to help refresh your memories.

    Light heavyweight boxing champion and gold medallist at the 1960 Rome Olympics, "I am the greatest !" Cassius Marcellus Clay - who became known as 'Muhammed Ali', some four years' later, following his conversion to Islam.

    Now ... at 73, four times married Ali, in spite of being diagnosed with Parkinsonian Syndrome - a disease believed to be common
    to head trauma in boxers - remains alive to the present day.

    I suppose it helps when you have the financial resources to fund the best available medical care... especially in America ?
