Jimmy
Muhammad Ali himself recalls an encounter with Jimmy, a young boy suffering from leukemia, who wanted to meet him before his epic fight with George Foreman in 1974. Before the boy left, Ali had a photograph taken of himself and Jimmy which he enlarged later and sent to the kid, with the inscription: Youre going to beat cancer. Im going to beat George. Love, Your friend, Muhammad Ali.[10] Two weeks later Ali learned that Jimmy was in a hospital and not expected to live. Within three hours Ali was at the boys bedside.
When I walked in he was lying in his bed and I saw that his skin was as white as his sheets were.
Jimmy looked up with bright eyes and called out, Muhammad, I knew you would come!
I walked over to his bedside and said, Jimmy, remember what I told you? Im going to beat George Foreman and youre going to beat cancer.
Jimmy looked up at me and whispered, No, Muhammad. Im going to meet God, and Im going to tell him that you are my friend.
The room was silent and we were in tears. I hugged Jimmy good-bye and later that night when we returned to my training camp, none of us spoke much.[11]
