Favorite Book: "The Greatest—My Own Story by Muhammad Ali" (With Richard Durham)
"The book that influenced me the most was, "The Greatest" by Muhammad Ali. I read that book many times over from the time I was eleven years old and from that I decided that if a man as great as Ali didn't drink, smoke or do drugs then I wouldn't either and here I am at age 40 and I have still never even tasted one drop of alcohol, never smoked a cigarette and I ‘have certainly never done an illegal drug, either." |
