No doubt he was one of the best people to have lived in this day and age.<br /> <br /> "To put his as a boxer is an injustice."<br /> <br /> He also spoke of Ali's love for the UK and the way he was treated in the country.<br /> <br /> "He loved London. If he had been born and raised in London he never would have changed his name," he said.</div>
