♪♪♪ If it wasn't for Ali, boxing wouldn't be where it's at today.

"I'm not an ordinary boxer.

"I'm wise."

He was a tremendous communicator.

-I knew he was special.

You don't need a book on Muhammad Ali, you need volumes.

He could be an encyclopedia within himself.

♪♪♪ (Mike Weatherford) Ali was perfect for Vegas in that he kind of belongs up there on the same shelf as Elvis and Sinatra, you know.

He was the same kind of iconic, larger than life personality that everybody could love or hate if they wanted to.

(Sig Rogich) Ali was very popular.

You know, he wasn't so popular when he changed his name to Ali, it caused a little bit of a problem, and when he went through the draft and all the things related to it.

But as time went on, he became the most beloved guy on the planet, certainly the most well known.

♪♪♪ (Pat Barry) He's been a humanitarian, going to different countries.

Here's this boxer from the U.S. and he sat with kings and queens.

No one had ever done that before him, and no one's really done it since.

(Robert Arum) Every community in the United States and maybe in the world really benefited from Ali and what Ali stood for.

(Richard Steele) He always stood up for the right.

When people did wrong, he stood up for that.

When people did right, he stood up for that.

-He gave hope to so many people, that if you believe in yourself, you can accomplish it.

-He traveled around the world raising money for causes.

He always signed autographs, and he played with kids, you know, and he did those kinds of things, and I think that it touched the hearts of the world.

♪♪♪ He created an awareness, just like George Bush 41, you know, announced to the world that he had Parkinson's, and just like Ronald Reagan told the world he had Alzheimer's.

When people of that prominence raise the level of understanding, it's got to help.

You have to appreciate the fact that people who are afflicted have the fortitude and the demeanor to tell the world what it's doing to them, and let's see if we can find a cure so it doesn't do it to you.

You know, I think that's the best part of what he did.

♪♪♪ (Jared Weiss) The name of the project is the Muhammad Ali Childhood Home Museum which is in Louisville, Kentucky.

It's the home where Muhammad Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, grew up.

I was on Yahoo, and it said right across the ticker, Muhammad Ali's childhood home in Louisville, Kentucky is up for sale, and it was all broken down, beat up.

I knew right away that I had to do something, so that night I called a realtor in Louisville.

I told him to make an offer on the property.

We purchased the property, and we restored it to the way it looked in the 1940s.

♪♪♪ I think he made an incredible difference.

He inspired hundreds of millions of people about doing the right thing and fighting for every person out there, helping in so many different ways, and I think he was respected and loved because of that.
