remember when Muhammad Ali was claiming that he was the
Igreatest. He didn’t quibble. He stated in absolute terms that
he was the greatest. Fortunately, he proved that he was, or he
might have gone down as someone who was delusional. It’s
interesting to note, now that those days are history, that he set
himself up for a situation that demanded that he prove himself,
and he did. I think he set the bar high for himself on purpose. I
know I do.
