As I was reading that I looked at the dollar amounts and the wording and checked the date of the article because it looked like something someone might have written a century ago.

And then I scrolled down. :)

Hi.

I met Cassius Clay in downtown Miami circa 1964 at the gym off 5th? I believe Angelo Dundee owned the facility.

He used to give speeches too, during sparing sessions. Said he was gonna whip Sonny Liston. I thought he was full of sh!t.

I won $20.
