Boxing fans--know of Joey Giambra??

Joey was a good friend of mine when I lived in Vegas, and in fact we worked together at one time.

Joey wrote a book entitled "The Uncrowned Champion" that is a fantastic boxing autobiography of Joey's life and times...........in and out of the ring.

ANYBODY that enjoys boxing, or just a great read, I highly recommend this book.

Check out some facts about Joey at the link provided at the bottom.....you can also order his book there.

It would be great if any poster here remembers Joey from his boxing days.

Actually, I met Mohammad Ali in the GOLDEN NUGGET Sportsbook in what now must be over 10 years ago.

The sad thing is, I got his autograph and lost the damn thing.

He performed the greatest magic trick I have ever seen to this day.

Around 10-15 of us followed him out to his limo and when he got there he told us all to step back and give him some breathing room.

I was no more than 5 feet from him and he began to levitate about a foot off the ground.

Simply amazing illusion......or he was REALLY doing it because after he came down to the ground he said in a slow voice............

Now, you all know, I trully am THE GREATEST OF ALL-TIME.
