On November 22, 1965, Muhammad Ali tortured Floyd Patterson for refusing to call him Muhammad Ali instead of Cassius Clay. Approximately 1979, I arranged for Muhammad Ali to appear on KABC Sports Talk with host Bud Furillo to help me promote the California Golden Glove Championship at the Los Angeles Olympic Auditorium. When I arrived in a limousine at his Hancock Park home, he was standing in the door waiting for me.  I have numerous personal stories about Ali but I defer to Billy Crystal talk at his funeral. RIP Muhammad Ali.
