00:00My father has a lot of sides, and you hear about the fights, you don't hear about family
00:19that much, and what that meant to him.
00:21And I remember the moment I fell in love with him when he was, it made me cry.
00:27He would always tell me time is going to fly.
00:34He could foresee things and knew how important those things would be.
00:38It was unbelievable the power that this man had.
00:40And the little boy said, I got leukemia.
00:46And Ollie said, I remember I told you that you are going to be cancer, and I'm going
00:51to be George Foreman.
00:52And the little boy said, no, Muhammad, I'm going to meet God, and I'm going to tell him
00:57that I know you.
00:58George Foreman, how you doing?
01:01He whispered in my ear, oh, you got George.
01:04And that was about all I had.
01:11This is a microphone, and when you get to be a big girl, I'm gonna play this back so
01:16you can hear him.
01:18I was the Concorde of boxing. I was at a higher altitude than the rest, moving faster than
01:25the rest, but you just have to get used to riding on jets again. You can't ride Concordes.
01:31He actually said, I don't want you to be like me, I want you to be better than me.
01:35How can you be better than the greatest, huh?
01:38You just can't imagine that in a word, great. It has to be another word, creative.
01:42I mean, who doesn't know who Muhammad Ali is?
01:45People just feel the love that emanates from him and people can feel that.
01:50You look beautiful.
01:52I know my mother, she looked at him and she hugged him and then she started to cry and
01:55she left the room. She said, well, I looked into his eyes and I saw God.
