He's definetely one of the most famous athlete of all time, for his performance and charisma. He's one of a few who is loved by everyone; all races. It's strange to see him now, he's only about 70 but is about as frail as someone who is 90. I was at a charity event last night in Scottsdale and was about ten feet from him, but didn't shake his hand. There were lots of little kids who wanted to say hello. He seemed genuinely happy to be surrounded by people. Everyone was sort of in awe of him and although he can't knock anyone in the world out he still commands that sort of respect.
