To me, this is why he will always be “The Greatest.” Not his feet or his fists or his showmanship, but his humanity: Zawadzki picked Ali up at Pearson International and they were on their way downtown when Ali asked Zawadzki, the son of Polish immigrants, about his family. The Etobicoke native mentioned to the former three-time world heavyweight champion of the world that his mom Wanda had spent years in a slave labour camp during the Second World War. “Suddenly, he said he wanted to meet her,” said Zawadzki. “So even though we were already halfway downtown, we turned around. When we walked into our condo, Muhammad walked up to my mom, gave her a big hug, and the two of them sat together, and talked and hugged for a good 45 minutes. She told him all about her experiences in the camp.” “When you walked away from Muhammad Ali, you were a better human.”—Ed Zawadzki http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/toronto-author-ed-zawadzki-recounts-how-gracious-muhammad-ali-was-attending-chuvalo-tribute http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/toronto-author-ed-zawadz...
