    thanks for the heads up Doug:good

    Made for great viewing, apart from Ali's rant about old age!!! Had me reaching for the razor blades, that bit;)

    I thought he was already showing very early signs of parkinsons...notably slower in reactions and speech...but what an amazing human being, not just boxer but man

    Caught the last 20 minutes.

    Although he always liked to talk far too much the man did at times make a lot of sense.
