Muhammad Ali Born: January 17, 1942 Died: June 3, 2016 Rest In Peace, Champ and be prepared: the first person to greet you– when you step out of the limousine at the Pearly Gates– will be Howard Cosell. Behind him will be God, wearing boxing gloves. You will step into the ring with Him but fret not: He will throw the fight and Cosell will proclaim you "The Greatest, For Eternity!" God will be throwing the fight for one and only on reason: He wants to sit you on His throne. But only for one day with Liberace on piano plus a duet with Sam Cooke. |

The original photograph of Mumammad Ali
towering over Sonny was taken by Neil Leifer.
The date was May 25, 1965.
In 2005, I re-photographed it at a diner
in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
