Throughout my entire boxing career,my belief in my abilities triumphed over the kill of an opponent.My will was stronger than their skills.What I didn't know was that my will would be tested even more when I retired.
Early in 1996,I was asked to light the caldron at she Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.Of couse my immediate answer was yes.I never even thought of having Parkinson's or what physical challenges that would present for me.
When the moment came for me to walk out on the 140-foot-high scaffolding and take the torch from Janet Evans,I relized I had held the Olympic torch high above my head,my tremors had taken over.Just at that moment,I heard a rumble in the stadium that
became a pounding roar and then turned into a deafening applause.I was reminded of my 1960 Olympic experience in Rome,when I won the gold medal.Those 36 years between Rome and Atlanta flashed before me,and I realized that I had come full circle
Nothing in life has defeated me.I am still the "Greatest".
