    Just reading an old Amir Khan interview; i esp like this extract.

    Piers Morgan:Who's the greatest boxer ever?

    Amir Khan replies:

    Muhammad Ali, no question. I've met him twice. It's sad because he can't speak, but you can tell he understands everything. He took my hand, clasped it into a fist and put it on his face like I was punching him. And I said, "No, no, I want you to be punching me." It just didn't seem right to be punching the world's greatest fighter. So he hit me instead! He was a great man - I told him about my career, my dreams, and I could tell he knew what I was talking about, he just couldn't talk back, which for a guy who never used to stop talking is really sad.

    He really can't speak anymore? I didn't know it was that bad.

    What other stars have you met?

    Arnold Schwarzenegger - he was huge. I wouldn't like to get in the ring with him, he's some size. He didn't know much about boxing, he just kept nodding at me and saying, "Good job." I only knew him from The Terminator, so had to ask him about that. He didn't say much.

    lol I can just imagine how awkward that conversation was...
