http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/3822816272/104-9020793-5919120It's suppose to be one of the most intensive books put together about Muhummand Ali (GOAT - Greatest of all Time) and tips the scales at 75lbs.

Uh, no I have better things to spend 3 grand on. Although, according to an interview I just saw, Muhammad Ali himself had only seen 1/2 the pictures in this book.

I understand his contribution to race, politics and boxing. But that just isn't the greatest record.
Plus there's my buddy and philosophical mentor Will Rogers: "No man is great who says he is."

Ali once asked Sonny Liston why he wasn't involved in racial protests. Liston answered, "Because the last time I checked, I didn't have a dog-proof ass." I love that quote.
