"The propensity to sell Ali short, in terms of his wisdom & self-awareness, is akin to giving him 7-to-1 odds to beat Sonny Liston in that 1st heavyweight championship fight"

Bill Siegel doing @MuhammadAliDoc press interviews at @Kartemquin in 2013. He had already been on the phone for hours, but was beaming. He just loved talking about Ali.
Hope you're chatting it up with the Champ now, Bill.
