Talking Sports And Fitness With Zeke

Marshall Kauffman, boxing trainer, manager and promoter, discusses with Zeke the remarkable career inside and outside the ring of former heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, who trained at nearby Deer Lake on what became known as Muhammad's Mountain. "I think Muhammad Ali was the greatest boxer of all time, as much for what he did outside the ring as he did inside the ring," Kauffman tells Zeke. "His technique was terrible but his speed made up for it. He was an amazing individual, an amazing athlete … standing up for what he believed in." Kauffman also told Zeke that "as we get older we get slower. But he got smarter. He had tremendous charisma and his will and his ego carried him through."
